Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Models B200, B200GT, B300, and B300C Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2010-26-03. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to the following airplane models and serial numbers that are certificated in any category:
| Model | Serial Nos. |
|---|---|
| B200 | BB-1926, BB-1978, and BB-1988 through BB-2000. |
| B200GT | BY-1 through BY-26. |
| B300 | FL-427, FL-493, and FL-500 through FL-573. |
| B300C | FM-14 through FM-18. |
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) Models B200, B200GT, B300, and B300C airplanes. This AD requires you to fabricate and install a placard incorporating information that limits operation when there is known or forecast icing and requires you to replace a section of the pneumatic supply tube for the tail deice system with a new tube of a different material. This AD results from reports of collapsed tail deice boot pneumatic supply tubes. We are issuing this AD to prevent collapsed pneumatic supply tubes, which could result in failure of the tail deice boots to operate. This failure could lead to loss of control in icing conditions.
To address this problem, you must do the following, unless already done:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Fabricate a placard (using at least 1/8 -inch letters) with the following words and install the placard on the instrument panel within the pilot's clear view: “THIS AIRPLANE IS PROHIBITED FROM FLIGHT IN KNOWN OR FORECAST ICING” | Before further flight in known or forecast icing conditions or within the next 3 days after April 10, 2008 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first | The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may fabricate the placard required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD. Make an entry into the aircraft records showing compliance with these portions of the AD in accordance with section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9). |
| (2) Replace the tail deice boot pneumatic supply tubes using Kit No. 130-9701-0003 for Models B200 and B200GT or Kit No. 130-9701-0001 for Models B300 and B300C. The replacement of tail deice boot pneumatic supply tubes required by paragraph (e)(2) of this AD is terminating action for the placard required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD | Within 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) after April 10, 2008 (the effective date of this AD) or within 3 months after April 10, 2008 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first | Follow Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 30-3889, Issued: March 2008. |
| (3) Remove the placard required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD | Before further flight after the replacement of tail deice boot pneumatic supply tubes required by paragraph (e)(2) of this AD | The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may remove the placard required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD. Make an entry into the aircraft records showing compliance with these portions of the AD in accordance with section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9). |
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
