SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    On August 12, 2003, FAA issued AD 2003-16-51, Amendment 39-13282 
(68 FR 50055, August 20, 2003), which applies to certain SCHEMPP-HIRTH 
Model Duo-Discus gliders. This AD requires you to accomplish a one-time 
inspection of the bonding of the spar cap and spar web, and repair any 
defective bonding of the spar cap and spar web.

Need for the Correction

    The FAA inadvertently omitted Amendment 39-13282 in the regulatory 
portion of the AD (in 14 CFR part 39).
    The information is included in the preamble of the AD. The 
amendment number is needed for appropriate logbook entry for the 
affected airplane owners/operators if the preamble of the AD is not 
available.
