Airworthiness Directive 04-10179
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company Model 1900C Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Raytheon Model 1900C airplanes. This AD requires you to replace the 200-amp electrical power current limiter in the landing gear with a 60- amp electrical power circuit breaker. This AD is the result of reports about the inability to automatically lower the landing gear and the inability to operate other related electrical systems. We are issuing this AD to prevent heat damage to the electrical wiring in and around the landing gear electrical systems components, which could result in the inability to operate critical control systems. This failure could lead to loss of control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 04-10179 applies to
certain
Whether AD 04-10179 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.
