Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8847 · Textron Aviation Inc. Airplanes
Textron Aviation Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Textron Aviation Inc. 400A.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Beech Model 400A airplanes, that requires an inspection to detect fatigue-related cracking in certain cabin seat frames; measurement to determine gap size between the bearing shafts and certain seat frames; and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by in-service inspection reports of fatigue-related cracking radiating outward from the bushings welded into the cabin seat frames. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent separation of the cabin seat frames from their bases during an emergency landing.
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.
