SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in 
airworthiness directive (AD) 98-11-19 that was published in the Federal 
Register on May 28, 1998 (63 FR 29096). The typographical error in the 
applicability statement of the AD resulted in a reference to an engine 
model that does not exist. This AD is applicable to certain Airbus 
Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes. This AD requires a visual 
inspection to detect cracks in the aft mount beam assembly of the 
engine; and replacement of any cracked beam with a new beam or beam 
assembly; and a fluorescent penetrant inspection to detect cracks in 
the aft mount beam assembly of the engine, and various follow-on 
actions.

DATES: Effective July 2, 1998.
