Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, B2-203, B2K-

Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a typographical error in an existing
[[Page 23573]]
airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register
on March 11, 2010. The error resulted in an imprecise compliance time
in a table. This AD applies to certain Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, B2-203,
B2K-3C, B4-103, B4-203, B4-2C airplanes; Model A310 series airplanes;
and Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-605R, B4-620, B4-622, and B4-622R
airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections to detect cracks of
the pylon side panels (upper section) at rib 8; and corrective actions
if necessary.
DATES: This correction is effective May 4, 2010. The effective date of
AD 2010-06-04 remains April 15, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The address for the
Docket Office (telephone 800-647-5527) is the Document Management
Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30,
West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 4, 2010, the FAA issued AD 2010-06-
04, Amendment 39-16228 (75 FR 11428, March 11, 2010), for certain
Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, B2-203, B2K-3C, B4-103, B4-203, B4-2C
airplanes; Model A310 series airplanes; and Model A300 B4-601, B4-603,
B4-605R, B4-620, B4-622, and B4-622R airplanes. The AD requires
repetitive inspections to detect cracks of the pylon side panels (upper
section) at rib 8; and corrective actions if necessary.
As published, Table 1 of this AD contained a typographical error in
the second row in the second column. The compliance time of ``>17,500
total flight \1\ '' has been corrected to read ''>17,500 total flight
cycles \1\.'' (The word ``cycles'' was omitted in the AD.)
No other part of the regulatory information has been changed;
therefore, the final rule is not republished in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains April 15, 2010.

In the Federal Register of March 11, 2010, on page 11430, in the second
