Airworthiness Directive 03-16691
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company 90, 100, and 200 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) 90, 100, and 200 series airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect the forward side of the aft pressure bulkhead for scoring damage and repair, if necessary. This AD is the result of reports of the aft pressure bulkhead being damaged by scoring during manufacture. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct damage to the aft pressure bulkhead of the fuselage. Such damage could lead to fatigue failure of the bulkhead.
Which aircraft AD 03-16691 applies to
certain
Whether AD 03-16691 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

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.
