Airworthiness Directive 2013-29060
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Beechcraft Corporation Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Beechcraft Corporation (type certificate previously held by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation) Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking in the front spar cap angles and hat section structure of the vertical stabilizer. This AD requires inspections of the vertical stabilizer spar angles and hat section for cracks with corrective actions as necessary. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2013-29060 applies to
Serial ranges are per model: 1900 UA-3; 1900C UB-1 through UB-74 and UC-1 through UC-174; 1900C (C-12J) UD-1 through UD-6; 1900D UE-1 through UE-439.
Whether AD 2013-29060 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.
