airplanes that are equipped with a Honeywell KAP 140 autopilot computer 
system installed on the center instrument control panel near the

section of AD 2003-24-13, Amendment 39-13382.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On November 25, 2003, FAA issued AD 2003-24-13, Amendment 39-13382 
(68 FR 67789, December 4, 2003), which applies to certain Cessna Models 
172R, 172S, 182S, 182T, T182T, 206H, and T206H airplanes that are 
equipped with a Honeywell KAP 140 autopilot computer system installed 
on the center instrument control panel near the throttle. This AD 
requires you to install an update to the operating software of the KAP 
140 autopilot computer system, change the unit's part number, and 
change the software modification identification tag.

Need for the Correction

    The FAA inadvertently duplicated affected airplane serial numbers 
for Model T206H airplanes in the applicability section of this AD. We 
also inadvertently included serial number T20608368 for Model T206H 
airplanes in the applicability section of this AD that is not affected 
by this AD. This correction is needed to ensure that the affected 
airplane owners/operators do not have unnecessary action performed on 
their airplanes.
