14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2005-22033; Directorate Identifier 2004-NM-218-AD; 
Amendment 39-14391; AD 2005-24-11]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. 
(EMBRAER) Model EMB-135 Airplanes and Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -
145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP 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 December 5, 2005 (70 FR 72363). The error resulted in an incorrect 
reference to the effective date of Brazilian airworthiness directive 
2003-01-03R1. This AD applies to certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135 and 
Model EMB-145 series airplanes. This AD is superseding an existing AD 
that currently requires repetitive inspections of the spring cartridges 
of the elevator gust lock system to determine if the lock washer 
projection correctly fits the slots in the cartridge flange, and 
corrective action if necessary, for certain airplanes. This AD retains 
the requirements of the existing AD and adds a requirement for final 
terminating action for all affected airplanes.

DATES: Effective January 9, 2006.

ADDRESSES: The AD docket contains the proposed AD, comments, and any 
final disposition. You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at 
http://dms.dot.gov, or in person at the Docket Management Facility 
office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. The Docket Management Facility office (telephone (800) 647-
5227) is located on the plaza level of the Nassif Building at the U.S. 
Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street SW., room PL-401, 
Washington, DC. This docket number is FAA-2005-22033; the directorate 
identifier for this docket is 2004-NM-218-AD.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Todd Thompson, Aerospace Engineer, 
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 
1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056; telephone (425) 
227-1175; fax (425) 227-1149.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 18, 2005, the FAA issued AD 
2005-24-11, amendment 39-14391 (70 FR 72363, December 5, 2005), for 
certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135BJ, -135ER, -135KE, -135KL, -135LR, and 
Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP 
airplanes. That AD requires repetitive inspections of the spring 
cartridges of the elevator gust lock system to determine if the lock 
washer projection correctly fits the slots in the cartridge flange, and 
corrective action if necessary. That AD also adds a requirement for 
final terminating action for all affected airplanes.
    As published, AD 2005-24-11 cited Brazilian airworthiness directive 
2003-01-03R1, which was issued showing an incorrect effective date of 
July 26, 2004. The Departmento de Aviacao Civil (DAC), which is the 
airworthiness authority for Brazil, has corrected the effective date of 
Brazilian airworthiness directive 2003-01-03R1 to read August 26, 2004.
    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 January 9, 2006.
