SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This rule does not create any
information collection requirement.
Background
14 CFR Part 39
On February 29, 2008, the FAA
published a final rule (73 FR 10987) that
provided new and revised airworthiness
standards for normal and transport
category rotorcraft. The amendment redesignated § 27.79, as new § 27.87.
However, in § 27.25(a)(1)(iv) and
§ 27.1587(a), we inadvertently made
references to § 27.79 instead of § 27.87
as intended. This document makes the
correction to reflect § 27.87 as the
intended reference. This correction will
not impose any additional requirements.

Airworthiness Directives; Agusta

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for Agusta
S.p.A. Model A109E, A109S, and A119
helicopters. This AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an
aviation authority to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the
technical agent for Italy, with which we
have a bilateral agreement, states in the
MCAI:
During a ground test of the emergency door
release system, the Pilot doors failed to
disengage. Investigation determined that the
reason of this malfunction is interference
between the lower hinge and the fuselage
structure. This condition, if not corrected,
creates the risk of non-disengagement of the
Pilot- and/or Co-pilot doors during an
emergency, inhibiting the evacuation of the
aircraft, possibly resulting in injuries to the
occupants.
This AD requires actions that are
intended to address the unsafe
condition caused by interference
between the pilot or co-pilot door lower
hinge and the fuselage structure.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on
July 1, 2008.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of Agusta Alert Bollettino Tecnico No.
109EP–83, No. 109S–18, and No. 119–
25, all dated November 29, 2007, as of
July 1, 2008.
We must receive comments on this
AD by August 15, 2008.
