Airworthiness Directive 2003-20-10
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company Beech Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Beech Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes. This AD requires you to make a correction to the elevator trim system maintenance procedures, incorporate a temporary revision to the applicable maintenance manual, and incorporate procedures that will enhance the existing elevator trim operational check every time you have maintenance done on the elevator trim system. This AD is the result of an analysis of the maintenance procedures of the elevator trim system. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct any maintenance-induced problems with the elevator trim system installation before problems occur during operation. Such a condition could lead to difficulties in controlling the airplane or a total loss of pitch control.
Which aircraft AD 2003-20-10 applies to
applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records
Whether AD 2003-20-10 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.
