Airworthiness Directive 98-18868
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company 90, 100, 200, and 300 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) 90, 100, 200, and 300 series airplanes (formerly known as Beech Aircraft Corporation 90, 100, 200, and 300 series airplanes). This AD requires: checking the airplane maintenance records from January 1, 1994, up to and including the effective date of this AD, for any MIL-H-6000B fuel hose replacements on the affected airplanes; inspecting any replaced rubber fuel hose for a spiral or diagonal external wrap with a red stripe the length of the hose with 94519 printed along the stripe; and replacing any MIL-H-6000B rubber fuel hose matching this description with an FAA-approved hose having a criss-cross or braided external wrap. This AD was prompted by a report of a product defect by the manufacturer that could cause fuel system blockage and engine stoppage. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fuel flow interruption, which could lead to uncommanded loss of engine power and loss of control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 98-18868 applies to
certain
Whether AD 98-18868 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

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.
