SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 2, 2005, the FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (70 FR 5533), better known as `Aging

Airplane Safety', clarifying the content requirements in the maintenance manual. In the process, this final rule re-designated 14

CFR 135.424 to Sec. 135.423, and failed to revise Sec. 135.427(a), which still referenced Sec. 135.424.

This technical amendment will correct Sec. 135.427(a) to properly reference Sec. 135.423.
