SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 20, 2023, the FAA issued final airworthiness criteria
for the ICON Model A5-B airplane, which published in the Federal
Register on November 28, 2023 (88 FR 83019). As published, the document
incorrectly referred to the wrong aircraft and engine model numbers.
Additionally, the FAA has certified the engine, as indicated by type
certificate data sheet (TCDS) E00051EN, and therefore the additional
airworthiness criteria listed in Table 8: FAA Validation of EASA State
of Design Reciprocating Aircraft Engines is no longer required. The
criteria as published would have applied to an engine certified by the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) that did not have a
corresponding FAA type certificate.
Correction
In the Federal Register of Tuesday, November 28, 2023, appearing at
88 FR 83019, make the following corrections:
1. On page 83019--

aircraft model number to read ``A5-B'';
b. In the first column, in the SUMMARY section, correct aircraft
model number to read ``A5-B'';
c. In the first and second columns, under the heading
``Background,'' in the second paragraph, correct the engine model
number ``Rotax 912 iS Sport'' to read ``Rotax 912 iSc2 Sport'' and

does not plan to issue a TC for the propeller'';
d. In the third column, under the heading ``Airworthiness
Criteria,'' correct the second paragraph to read ``The airworthiness
criteria for the issuance of a TC for the ICON Aircraft, Inc., Model
A5-B airplane, a primary category airplane, and its powerplant
installation is listed in Tables 1 through 7 below'';
2. On page 83020, in ``Table 1: Airplane Certification Basis,'' in
the subject entry for ``Engine''--
a. In the ``Consensus standard or regulation'' column, correct ``14
CFR part 33, Amendment 33-34'' to read ``14 CFR part 33'';
b. In the ``Title and description'' column, correct the description
to read ``Utilize the certification basis as indicated for the engine
TCDS E00051EN''; and
3. On page 83022, in the first column--
a. Remove the first paragraph;
c. Remove ``Table 8: FAA Validation of EASA State of Design
Reciprocating Aircraft Engines''; and
