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
AD 2002-23-20 remains January 3, 2003.

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,
the final rule is not being republished in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains January 3, 2003.
