## Summary

This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2001-23-07, which was published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2001 (66 FR 57364), and concerns certain Reims Model F406 airplanes. The FAA incorrectly referenced the AD number as “AD 2001-01-07” instead of

“AD 2001-23-07.” This AD requires repetitive inspections of the canted rib upper cap in the center wing carry-through area for cracks, and, if cracks are found, immediate repair of the cracks or modification of this area depending on the extent of any cracks found. This AD also requires modifying the canted rib upper cap at a certain time period as terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This action corrects the AD to reflect the correct AD number.

## The airworthiness directive

### Correction of Publication

Accordingly, the publication of November 15, 2001 (66 FR 57364), of Amendment 39-12504; AD 2001-01-07, which was the subject of FR Doc. 01-28571, is corrected as follows:

## Rule preamble

### Effective date

The effective date of this AD remains January 7, 2002.

### Discussion

On November 6, 2001, FAA issued AD 2001-01-07, Amendment 39-12504 (66 FR 57364, November 15, 2001), which applies to certain Reims Model F406 airplanes. This AD currently requires repetitive inspections of the canted rib upper cap in the center wing carry-through area for cracks, and, if cracks are found, immediate repair of the cracks or modification of this area depending on the extent of any cracks found. This AD also requires modifying the canted rib upper cap at a certain time period as terminating action for the repetitive inspections.

### Need for the Correction

We incorrectly referenced the AD number as “AD 2001-01-07” instead of “AD 2001-23-07.” If we did not correct the AD number, then the logbooks of the affected airplane would reference compliance with the wrong AD.
