**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
AD 2026-03-06, Amendment 39-23255 (91 FR 5283, February 6, 2026) (AD 2026-03-06), requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) of the existing aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) or instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, for all Textron Aviation, Inc., Model 525B airplanes.
**Need for Correction**
As published, there is an error in Table 1 to paragraph (g)—Revised Model 525B Airworthiness Limitation Tasks of the AD. Specifically, Task Number 54-50-00-250, Inspection Document incorrectly references 4-12-MI. The correct reference is 4-12-NA.
**Correction of Publication**
This document corrects an error and correctly adds the AD as an amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been corrected, the FAA is publishing the entire rule in the *Federal Register* .
The effective date of this AD remains March 13, 2026.
Since this action only corrects one typographical error and does not affect compliance with the AD, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no additional burden on any person. Therefore, the FAA has determined that notice and public comment procedures are unnecessary.
**List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39**
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.
**Adoption of the Amendment**
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:
**PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES**
**14 CFR Part 39**
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
**Authority:**
49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
§ 39.13
**14 CFR Part 39**
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following airworthiness directive:
*2026-03-06 Textron Aviation, Inc.:* Amendment 39-23255; Docket No. FAA-2025-5037; Project Identifier AD-2025-00212-A.
**(a) Effective Date**
This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective March 13, 2026.
**(b) Affected ADs**
None.
**(c) Applicability**
This AD applies to all Textron Aviation, Inc. (Type Certificate previously held by Cessna Aircraft Company) Model 525B airplanes, certificated in any category.
**(d) Subject**
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 5530, Vertical Stabilizer Structure; 5415, Nacelle/Pylon, Attach Fittings.
**(e) Unsafe Condition**
This AD was prompted by the manufacturer's revision of the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) to introduce more restrictive inspection intervals. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent undetected cracks in the engine mount and vertical stabilizer front and rear spar caps. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in reduced structural integrity and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
**(f) Compliance**
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
**(g) Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Revision**
Within 150 hours time-in-service (TIS) or 12 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first: Revise the ALS of the existing AMM or instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) and the existing approved maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, by incorporating the information identified in table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD.
