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.
