The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to all Honeywell International Inc. TPE331-1, -2, -2UA, -3U, -3UW, -5, -5A, -5AB, -5B, - 6, -6A, -10, -10AV, -10GP, -10GT, -10P, -10R, -10T, -10U, -10UA, -10UF, -10UG, -10UGR, -10UR, -11U, -12JR, -12UA, -12UAR, and -12UHR turboprop engines with certain Honeywell part numbers (P/Ns) of Woodward fuel control unit (FCU) assemblies, installed. The AD number in the document headings is incorrect. Additionally, the Amendment number in the regulatory text is incorrect. This document corrects these two errors. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

* New/added FCU assembly P/Ns

(d) Unsafe Condition

    We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the fuel control 
drive that could result in damage to the engine and airplane.

(e) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(1) Inspection of Engines With FCU Assembly P/Ns in Groups 2 and 4

    For FCU assembly P/Ns in Groups 2 and 4 listed in Table 1 to 
paragraph (c) of this AD:
    (i) At the next scheduled inspection of the fuel control drive, 
or within 500 hours-in-service (HIS) after the effective date of 
this AD, whichever occurs first, inspect the fuel control drive for 
wear.
    (ii) Thereafter, re-inspect the fuel control drive within every 
1,000 HIS since-last-inspection (SLI).

(2) Inspection of Engines With FCU Assembly P/Ns in Groups 1, 3, 
and 5

    For FCU assembly P/Ns in Groups 1, 3, or 5 listed in Table 1 to 
paragraph (c) of this AD:
    (i) If on the effective date of this AD the FCU assembly has 950 
or more HIS SLI, inspect the fuel control drive for wear within 50 
HIS from the effective date of this AD.
    (ii) If on the effective date of this AD the FCU assembly has 
fewer than 950 HIS SLI, inspect the fuel control drive for wear 
before reaching 1,000 HIS.
    (iii) Thereafter, re-inspect the fuel control drive for wear 
within every 1,000 HIS SLI.

(3) Airplane Operating Procedures

    Within 60 days after the effective date of this AD, insert the 
information in Figure 1 to paragraph (e) of this AD, into the 
Emergency Procedures Section of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), 
Pilot Operating Handbook (POH), and the Manufacturer's Operating 
Manual (MOM).

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR16JY15.000

(f) Optional Terminating Action

    Replacing the affected FCU assembly with an FAA-approved FCU 
assembly P/N not listed in this AD is terminating action for the 
initial and repetitive inspections required by this AD, and for 
inserting the information in Figure 1 to paragraph (e) of this AD 
into the AFM, POH, and MOM.

(g) Definitions

    For the purposes of this AD:
    (1) The ``fuel control drive'' is a series of mating splines 
located between the fuel pump and fuel control governor.
    (2) The fuel control drive consists of four drive splines: the 
fuel pump internal spline, the fuel control external ``quill shaft'' 
spline, and the stub shaft internal and external splines.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    The Manager, Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, may 
approve AMOCs for this AD. Use the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 
to make your request.
