What this AD requires
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) 95-02-17, which was sent previously to known U.S. owners and operators of certain Beech Aircraft Corporation Model 1900D airplanes. This AD requires inspecting (one- time) the elevator trim tab control cables at the top of the vertical stabilizer to ensure that cables (at the left, right, and crossover pulleys) are correctly routed around the pulleys, within the cable guide pins, and are not contacting any structure; and replacing any cable that is incorrectly routed or chafed. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent in-flight separation of the elevator trim tab control cable caused by misrouting, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 95-02-17 applies to
Applies to Model 1900D airplanes; inspect/correct elevator trim tab control cable routing per Beech 1900D Maintenance Manual P/N 129-590000-15A11 (Chapters 5-20-07, 6-40-00, 6-50-00, 27-30-04). Compliance with Beech Communique 1900D-112, dated January 1995, is considered equivalent.
Whether AD 95-02-17 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.
