Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9937 · Raytheon Aircraft Company Airplanes
Raytheon Aircraft Company Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 98-21-20. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Raytheon Aircraft Company 1900, 1900C, 1900D.
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 document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) 97-04-02, which was sent previously to known U.S. owners and operators of certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes (formerly referred to as Beech Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes). This AD requires installing new exterior operating instruction placards for the airstair door, cargo door, and emergency exits, as applicable. This AD results from an accident involving a Raytheon Model 1900C airplane that collided with another airplane while completing its landing roll. The ensuing fire destroyed both airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to assure complete instructions are visible for opening the airstair door, cargo door, or emergency exits, which, if not visible or understandable, could result in the inability to open the airstair door, cargo door, or emergency exits during an emergency situation.
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.
