Airworthiness Directive 97-11895

one-time
AD 97-11895 · 1997-05-07 · airframe

Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company (Formerly Beech Aircraft Corporation) Models 58P and 58PA Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Raytheon Aircraft Company (formerly Beech Aircraft Corporation) Models 58P and 58PA airplanes. This action requires inspecting for cracks in the right-hand (RH) upper and lower longeron near the second RH cabin window, inspecting for missing rivets in the cabin structure (longeron) adjacent to and aft of the second RH cabin window, repairing any cracked structure or reinforcing the longeron if it is not cracked, and installing rivets, if missing. Reports of cracks in the upper and lower longeron and missing rivets that are supposed to secure the frame, splice, and longeron together prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent structural cracking to the cabin caused by missing rivets, which if not corrected, could cause decompression injuries to passengers, structural failure of the fuselage, and loss of the airplane.

Which aircraft AD 97-11895 applies to

MakesRaytheon Aircraft Company

Cabin window upper longeron (RH, between 2nd/3rd windows) and RH lower longeron crack/missing-rivet inspection and repair per Beech SB No. 2630 (Issued Nov 1995) and Raytheon Mandatory SB No. 2691 Rev. 1 (Jun 1996, Rev Oct 1996). The specific affected model designation is not present in the extracted applicability window.

Whether AD 97-11895 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
Date — When the work was done.
Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 97-11895 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
