This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) 90, 100, 200, and 300 series airplanes. This action requires inspecting gray, blue, or clear Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) tubing near the co-pilot's foot warmer for collapse or deformity. If the tubing is collapsed or deformed, this action requires replacing and re-routing the tubing. This EVA tubing is used on the pneumatic de-ice indicator lines and the pressurization control system pneumatic lines that provide vacuum to the outflow safety valves that depressurize the airplane. This action is the result of several reports of collapsed EVA tubing. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent a loss of vacuum to depressurize the airplane cabin, which could result in personal injury to the door operator; and to prevent malfunction of the de-ice indicator system, which could cause the pilot to immediately exit icing conditions.
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.
