14 CFR Part 39
[Docket No. 2002-NM-174-AD; Amendment 39-13483; AD 2004-04-03
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500
Series Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in
airworthiness directive (AD) 2004-04-03 that was published in the
Federal Register on February 18, 2004 (69 FR 7565). The typographical
error resulted in a reference to an incorrect effective date in the
compliance time specified in Table 1 of the AD for Group 1 airplanes.
This AD is applicable to certain Boeing Model 737 series airplanes.
This AD requires a one-time general visual inspection of the seat locks
and seat tracks of the flightcrew seats to ensure that the seats lock
in position and to verify that lock nuts and bolts of adequate length
are installed on the rear track lock bracket, and corrective action, if
necessary.
DATES: Effective March 24, 2004.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shannon Lennon, Aerospace Engineer,
Cabin Safety and Environmental Systems Branch, ANM-150S, FAA, Seattle
Aircraft Certification Office, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,
Washington; telephone (425) 917-6436; fax (425) 917-6590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2004-04-03,
amendment 39-13483, applicable to certain Boeing Model 737 series
airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on February 18, 2004
(69 FR 7565). That AD requires a one-time general visual inspection of
the seat locks and seat tracks of the flightcrew seats to ensure that
the seats lock in position and to verify that lock nuts and bolts of
adequate length are installed on the rear track lock bracket, and
corrective action, if necessary.
As published, that final rule incorrectly specifies ``September 26,
2001'' as the effective date for AD 2000-10-21 in the compliance time
specified for Group 1 airplanes in Table 1 of that final rule. The
correct effective date of AD 2000-10-21 is ``June 12, 2000.'' It was
the FAA's intent that operators use June 12, 2000, to determine the
compliance time for Group 1 airplanes as specified in Table 1 of that
final rule, as evidenced by the explanatory parenthetical reference
``(the effective date of AD 2000-10-21, amendment 39-11745).''
Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed,
the final rule is not being republished in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains March 24, 2004.
Sec. 39.13 [Corrected]
On page 7566, the second column of Table 1 of AD 2004-04-03 is
corrected to read as follows:
