Raytheon Model DH 125-1A, -3A, and - 400A Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2000-21-11. Comply with the one in force.
All Model DH 125-1A, -3A, and -400 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Raytheon Model DH 125-1A, -3A, and -400A series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection to detect scoring of the upper fuselage skin around the periphery of the cockpit canopy blister interface, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that scoring of the upper fuselage skin had been detected in that area. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct scoring of the upper fuselage skin around the periphery of the cockpit canopy blister interface, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the fuselage, and consequent cabin depressurization.
