AD 2020-14-02 Applies To 747 Series Airplanes

The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes.

As published, the AD number and Amendment number specified in the preamble and regulatory text are incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same. This correction is effective July 28, 2020.

Supplementary Information: This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections and open hole high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of the upper splice fittings for cracks and applicable on-condition actions for all The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes.

As published on June 23, 2020 (85 FR 37547), the AD and Amendment numbers for this AD specified in the preamble and regulatory text are incorrect. The incorrectly specified AD number was AD 2020-12-10 and the incorrectly specified Amendment number was 39-19919; AD number AD 2020-12-10 is assigned to another AD addressing a Bell Textron Inc. helicopter unsafe condition, Amendment 39-21145 (85 FR 35555, June 11, 2020). The correct AD number for this AD is AD 2020-14-02 and the correct Amendment number is 39-21156.
