SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 99-27-14, amendment 39-11495, applicable to all Airbus Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, and -313 series airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2000 (65 FR 697). That AD requires repetitive operational tests to ensure proper operation of the actuator of the secondary locks of the thrust reversers, and corrective actions, if necessary.

As published, AD 99-27-14 contains an erroneous reference to the AD number cited in the paragraph preceding the applicability of the AD. That paragraph incorrectly references AD 99-01-05, Amendment 39-10980. The correct reference is AD 99-01-15, Amendment 39-10980.

Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed, the final rule is not being republished.

The effective date of this AD remains January 21, 2000.

On page 699, in the first column, the paragraph preceding the applicability of AD 99-27-14 is corrected to read as follows:

99-27-14 Airbus Industrie: Amendment 39-11495. Docket 99-NM-336-AD. Supersedes AD 99-01-15, Amendment 39-10980.
