[Docket No. FAA-2007-29316; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-078-AD;

Airworthiness Directives; Eclipse Aviation Corporation Model 
EA500 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive 
(AD) 2008-02-04, which was published in the Federal Register on January 
22, 2008 (73 FR 3618), and applies to all Eclipse Aviation Corporation 
(Eclipse) Model EA500 airplanes. This AD requires incorporating a 
modification of the angle of attack (AOA) system, limits the 
applicability to airplanes under S/N 000065, and retains the operating 
limitations from AD 2007-13-11 until the modification is incorporated. 
The FAA incorrectly referenced the issue date of the AD as ``January 9, 
2007'' instead of ``January 9, 2008.'' This document corrects the issue 
date.

DATES: The effective date of this AD remains February 26, 2008, since 
the incorrect reference of the issue date of AD 2008-02-04 does not 
affect compliance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    AD 2008-02-04, Amendment 39-15334 (73 FR 3618, January 22, 2008), 
affects Eclipse Model EA500 airplanes and currently:
    <bullet> Requires incorporating a modification of the angle of 
attack (AOA) probe;
    <bullet> Limits the applicability to airplanes under S/N 000065; 
and
    <bullet> Retains the operating limitations from AD 2007-13-11 until 
the modification is incorporated.

The FAA incorrectly referenced the issue date as ``January 9, 2007'' 
instead of ``January 9, 2008.'' This document corrects the issue date.

Need for the Correction

    This correction is needed to reflect the correct issue date on the 
AD.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of January 22, 2008 (73 FR 3618), 
which was the subject of FR Doc. E8-751, is corrected as follows:

Section 39.13 [Corrected]

    On page 3619, in the third column, in the sixth and seventh lines 
from the bottom, under the heading Sec.  39.13 [Amended], replace 
``January 9, 2007'' with ``January 9, 2008.''
    Action is taken herein to correct this reference in the AD.
    The effective date of this AD remains February 26, 2008, since the 
incorrect reference of the issue date of AD 2008-02-04 does not affect 
compliance.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 1, 2008.
James E. Jackson,
Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
