Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300, A300-600, A310, and 
A320 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in 
airworthiness directive (AD) 97-02-04 that was published in the Federal 
Register on January 22, 1997 (62 FR 3204). The typographical error 
resulted in specification of an ``inch'' figure that does not equal the 
``millimeter'' figure for a certain brake wear limit. This AD is 
applicable to certain Airbus Model A300, A300-600, A310, and A320 
series airplanes. This AD requires an inspection of the landing gear 
brakes for wear, and replacement if the specified wear limits are not 
met. That AD also requires incorporation of the specified wear limits 
into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program.

DATES: Effective February 26, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 97-02-04, 
amendment 39-9888, applicable to Airbus Model A300, A300-600, A310, and 
A320 series airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on January 
22, 1997 (62 FR 3204). That AD requires an inspection of the landing 
gear brakes for wear, and replacement if the specified wear limits are 
not met. That AD also requires incorporation of the specified wear 
limits into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program.
    As published, that AD contained a typographical error in Table 3 of 
paragraph (b)(4), which requires replacement of any brake that has 
measured wear beyond the maximum wear limits specified in Table 3 with 
a brake that is within the wear limits. For Model A300-600 series 
airplanes having Messier-Bugatti brake part number (P/N) C20175100, 
Table 3 lists a maximum brake wear limit of 1.1 inch (50.0 mm).'' 
However, 1.1 inch equals 28.0 mm.
    Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed, 
the final rule is not being republished.
    The effective date of the AD remains February 26, 1997.


Sec. 39.13  [Corrected]

    On page 3208, the maximum brake wear limit for Model A300-600 
series airplanes having Messier-Bugatti brake P/N C20175100 listed in 
Table 3 of paragraph (b)(4) of AD 97-02-04 is corrected to read as 
follows:
