Is AD 02-26661 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 02-26661 requires a repetitive inspection every 100 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 02-26661 apply to?

AD 02-26661 applies to Raytheon Aircraft. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company Beech Models 35, 35R, A35, and B35 Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 98-13- 02, which currently requires operating limitations on Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Beech Models 35, 35R, A35, and B35 airplanes. This AD is the result of Raytheon developing inspection and modification procedures that, when accomplished on the affected airplanes, will eliminate the need for the operating limitations. This AD retains the operating limitations for the affected airplanes until the recently developed inspection and modification procedures are accomplished. This AD also requires repetitive inspections of the fuselage structure. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent structural failure of the V-tail, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 100 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Specific model/serial applicability (paragraph (a)) not present in retrieved text. AD addresses weight-and-balance documentation accuracy; requires reweighing/verification per two prescribed methods (Appendix to AD 2002-21-13). Supersedes AD 98-13-02, Amendment 39-10590. Actions reference Raytheon Service Bulletin SB 27-3358 (Feb 2000).

Whether AD 02-26661 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

Supersedes AD 98-13-02.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 02-26661 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
