[Docket No. FAA-2007-0076; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-241-AD;
Amendment 39-15246; AD 2007-22-10]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-
200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 Series Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a typographical error in an existing
airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register
on November 1, 2007 (72 FR 61796). The error resulted in an error in an
airplane series number identified in Table 2 of the AD. This AD applies
to all Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500,
and A340-600 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed
visual inspections for cracking of the LH (left hand) and RH (right
hand) wing MLG (main landing gear) rib 6 aft bearing lugs, and repair
or replacement of the MLG rib 6 fitting, if necessary.
DATES: Effective November 16, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov
; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is the Document

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 24, 2007, the FAA issued AD 2007-
22-10, amendment 39-15246 (72 FR 61796, November 1, 2007), for all
Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and
A340-600 series airplanes. The AD requires repetitive detailed visual
inspections for cracking of the LH (left hand) and RH (right hand) wing
MLG (main landing gear) rib 6 aft bearing lugs, and repair or
replacement of the MLG rib 6 fitting, if necessary.
As published, Table 2 of the AD states that certain repetitive
inspection intervals apply to Model ``A300-300 series airplanes, except
WV27.'' That sentence contains a typographical error and, instead,
should state that those repetitive inspection intervals apply to Model
``A340-300 series airplanes, except WV27.''
No other part of the regulatory information has been changed;
therefore, the final rule is not republished in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains November 16, 2007.
