This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) 96-15-01, which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of Raytheon Aircraft Corporation (formerly Beech) Model 1900D airplanes. This AD requires immediately pulling and banding the circuit breakers leading to the windshield heat control on both the pilot and co-pilot sides, inserting a copy of the priority letter AD into the Limitations section of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), and fabricating and installing a placard instructing the pilot to avoid flight into known icing conditions. Reports of smoke and fire in the cockpit on two Beech Model 1900D airplanes caused by a high resistance short circuit condition in the heated windshield wiring prompted the action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent smoke and fire around the forward edge of the glare shield in the cockpit, which could result in loss of control of the airplane. Comments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before October 21, 1996.
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.
