SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive 2011-09-51,
Amendment 39-16697 (76 FR 27872, May 13, 2011), currently requires an
inspection and functional test of the valves and drain holes in the
fuselage and requires sending a report of the results to Piaggio. If
the valves and drain holes are found to not drain properly and where no
additional drain holes have been drilled, then there is a requirement
to drill additional drain holes.
As published, the AD number specified in the preamble section of
the first page is incorrect.
No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being
