Airworthiness Directive 2014-02-03

What this AD requires
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-27-51 for certain Beechcraft Corporation Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes. AD 2011-27-51 required inspecting the elevator bob-weight and attaching linkage for correct installation and for damage or deformation to the weight and/or weight bracket with corrective action as necessary. This AD requires installation of the secondary elevator bob-weight stop bolt. The elevator bob-weight (stabilizer weight) traveling past its stop bolt may allow the attaching linkage to move over-center and lead to reduced nose down elevator control. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2014-02-03 applies to
Serial ranges are per model: 1900 UA-3; 1900C UB-1 through UB-74 and UC-1 through UC-174; 1900C (Military) UD-1 through UD-6; 1900D UE-1 through UE-439.
Whether AD 2014-02-03 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.
