SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in 
airworthiness directive (AD) 2002-23-20 that was published in the 
Federal Register on November 29, 2002 (67 FR 71098). The typographical 
error resulted in an incorrect part number. This AD is applicable to 
Model FALCON 900EX and MYSTERE-FALCON 900 airplanes. This AD requires 
repetitive operational tests of the flap asymmetry detection system to 
verify proper functioning, and repair if necessary; repetitive 
replacement of the inboard flap jackscrews with new or reconditioned 
jackscrews; and repetitive measurement of the screw/nut play of the 
jackscrews on the inboard and outboard flaps to detect discrepancies, 
and corrective action if necessary. This AD also requires revision of 
the Airplane Flight Manual.

DATES: This correction is effective May 4, 2010. The effective date of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AD 2002-23-20, amendment 39-12964, 
applicable to Model FALCON 900EX and MYSTERE-FALCON 900 airplanes, was 
published in the Federal Register on November 29, 2002 (67 FR 71098). 
That AD requires repetitive operational tests of the flap asymmetry 
detection system to verify proper functioning, and repair if necessary; 
repetitive replacement of the inboard flap jackscrews with new or 
reconditioned jackscrews; and repetitive measurement of the screw/nut 
play of the jackscrews on the inboard and outboard flaps to detect 
discrepancies, and corrective action if necessary. That AD also 
requires revision of the Airplane Flight Manual.
    As published, paragraph (e)(1) of the AD specifies in error 
jackscrew part number 5818-1 Amdt A. P/N 5818-1 Amdt A. does not exist. 
The correct part number is 5318-1 Amdt A.
    Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed,
