Airworthiness Directive 00-25148
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company Beech Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Beech Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes. This AD requires you to modify the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) system. This AD is the result of instances where the recording quality of the CVR in the affected airplanes was so poor that the information was practically unrecoverable. The actions specified by this AD are intended to correct substandard quality cockpit voice recordings caused by the configuration of the present CVR system, which could affect air safety if important information that the CVR provides is not available after an accident. This information helps determine the probable cause of an accident and aids in developing necessary corrective action or design changes to prevent future accidents.
Which aircraft AD 00-25148 applies to
Applies to airplanes required to have a cockpit voice recorder (CVR) installed, certificated in any category: Models 1900 and 1900C, all serial numbers, with RAC Kit No. 114-3020 (variation -1, -3, -7, or -9), RAC Kit No. 114-3032-1, or RAC Kit No. 114-3008-1 incorporated, or on which RAC installed the CVR; Model 1900D, serial numbers UE-1 through UE-376.
Whether AD 00-25148 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
