SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AD 2011-22-05, Amendment 39-16847 (76 FR
70046, November 10, 2011), applies to certain Eurocopter Model AS350B,
B1, B2, B3, BA, C, D, and D1 and Model AS355E, F, F1, F2, N, and NP
helicopters. AD 2011-22-05 currently requires, in part, a daily check
of the tail rotor pitch control rod (control rod) outboard spherical
bearing (bearing) for play, and allows this check to be performed by a
pilot if certain regulatory recordkeeping requirements are met. As
such, AD 2011-22-05 currently includes the following as the last
sentence under paragraph (a): ``The record must be maintained as
required by 14 CFR 91.173, 121.380, or 134.439.''
As published, the reference to 14 CFR 91.173 is incorrect. The
correct reference is to 14 CFR 91.417.
No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being
published in the Federal Register.

Sec. 39.13 [Corrected]
