This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Beech Aircraft Corporation (Beech) 90, 99, 100, and 200 series airplanes. This action requires inspecting the main landing gear drag leg lock link to ensure that the hole for the roll pin is drilled completely through both walls of the main landing gear drag leg lock link and, if not drilled completely through both link walls, replacing any main landing gear drag leg lock link. An incident in which the left main landing gear collapsed on one of the affected airplanes prompted this action. Investigation revealed that the roll pin hole was not completely drilled through both walls of the drag leg lock link. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent main landing gear collapse caused by drag leg lock link failure, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
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.
