AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document makes a
correction to Airworthiness Directive
(AD) 2006–23–09, which published in
the Federal Register on November 9,
2006 (71 FR 65719), and applies to all
Air Tractor, Inc. Model AT–602
airplanes. AD 2006–23–09 requires you
to repetitively inspect (using the eddy
current method) the wing center splice
joint two outboard fastener holes on
both of the wing main spar lower caps
for fatigue cracking; repair or replace
any wing main spar lower cap where
fatigue cracking is found; and report any
fatigue cracking found. This AD results
from fatigue cracking at the wing center
splice joint outboard fastener hole in
one of the wing main spar lower caps.
The AD number in the AD is incorrectly
referenced as ‘‘2006–23–01’’ instead of
‘‘2006–23–09’’ in two places. This
document corrects these references.
DATES: The effective date of this AD
(2006–23–09) remains December 14,
2006.

PHC series propellers; and McCauley
Propeller Systems controllable
propellers serviced by Oxford Aviation
Services Limited, doing business as CSE
Aviation, in the United Kingdom
between September 1998 and October
2003. This AD requires inspecting the
propeller blades and other critical
propeller parts for wear and mechanical
damage. This AD results from findings
that CSE Aviation failed to perform
some specific inspections and repairs.
We are issuing this AD to detect unsafe
conditions that could result in a
propeller blade separating from the hub
and loss of control of the airplane.
