14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0808; Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-170-AD;

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting airworthiness directive (AD) 2013-05-08 
that published in the Federal Register. AD 2013-05-08 applies to all 
Airbus Model A330-200 and A330-300 series airplanes, and Model A340-200 
and A340-300 series airplanes. Two paragraphs of AD 2013-05-08 
incorrectly specify flight control secondary computers (FCSCs), rather 
than flight control primary computers (FCPCs). This document corrects 
those errors. In all other respects, the original document remains the 
same.

DATES: This final rule is effective August 29, 2013. The effective date 
for AD 2013-05-08, Amendment 39-17380 (78 FR 27015, May 9, 2013), 
remains June 13, 2013.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility 
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 address for the 
Docket Office (phone: 800-647-5527) is Document Management Facility, 
U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-05-08, 
Amendment 39-17380 (78 FR 27015, May 9, 2013), currently requires, 
depending on airplane configuration, modifying three flight control 
primary computers (FCPCs); modifying two flight control secondary 
computers (FCSCs); revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include 
certain information; replacing certain O-rings; and checking part 
number and replacing certain O-ring seals if needed.
    As published, AD 2013-05-08, Amendment 39-17380 (78 FR 27015, May 
9, 2013), currently includes typographical errors in paragraphs (p)(4) 
and (p)(5) of the AD, which specify FCSCs, instead of flight control 
primary computers FCPCs.
    No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been 
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being 
published in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of AD 2013-05-08, Amendment 39-17380 (78 FR 
27015, May 9, 2013), remains June 13, 2013.
