Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Models PC-12 and 
PC-12/45 Airplanes; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive 
(AD) 98-11-01 R2, which was published in the Federal Register on July 
31, 1998 (63 FR 40807), and concerns Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) 
Models PC-12 and PC-12/45 airplanes. Certain references to the AD 
number and amendment number in the document are incorrect. The AD 
currently requires replacing the fuel tank vent valves and drilling a 
4.8 millimeter (0.1875 inch) hole in each fuel filler cap on certain 
Pilatus Models PC-12 and PC-12/45 airplanes. AD 98-11-01 R2 also 
requires inserting a temporary revision in the Pilot's Operating 
Handbook (POH) that specifies checking to assure that the fuel filler 
cap hole is clear of ice and foreign objects. This action corrects the 
AD to reflect the correct reference to the AD number and amendment 
number throughout the entire document.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 22, 1998.

Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 1201 Walnut, suite 900,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On July 23, 1998, the FAA issued AD 98-11-01 R2, Amendment 39-10681 
(63 FR 40807, July 31, 1998), which applies to certain Pilatus Models 
PC-12 and PC-12/45 airplanes. This AD requires replacing the fuel tank 
vent valves and drilling a 4.8 millimeter (0.1875 inch) hole in each 
fuel filler cap on certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Models PC-12 
and PC-12/45 airplanes. AD 98-11-01 R2 also requires inserting a 
temporary revision in the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) that 
specifies checking to assure that the fuel filler cap hole is clear of 
ice and foreign objects.

Need for the Correction

    Certain references to the AD number and amendment number in the 
document are incorrect. As written, owners/operators of the affected 
airplanes, may enter the incorrect AD number and amendment number into 
their logbook when showing compliance with the AD.
