Airworthiness Directive 98-15202
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company Models 35, A35, B35, and 35R Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Models 35, A35, B35, and 35R airplanes (commonly referred to as Beech Models 35, A35, B35, and 35R airplanes). This AD requires fabricating a placard that restricts the never exceed speed (Vne) to no more than 144 miles per hour (MPH) or 125 knots (KTS) indicated airspeed (IAS), and installing this placard on the instrument panel within the pilot's clear view. This AD also requires marking a red line on the airspeed indicator glass at 144 MPH (125 KTS), marking a white slippage mark on the outside surface of the airspeed indicator between the glass and case, and inserting a copy of this AD into the Limitations Section of the airplane flight manual (AFM). This AD is the result of several occurrences of in-flight vibration on the affected airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent in-flight vibrations caused by the affected airplanes operating at excessive speeds, which could result in airplane damage and possible loss of control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 98-15202 applies to
applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records
Whether AD 98-15202 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.
