Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Corporation Beech Models 65-90, 65-A90, 65-A90-1, 65-A90-2, 65-A90-3, 65-A90-4, B90, C90, C90A, E90, H90, and F90 Airplanes

What this AD requires

This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) 99-10-07, which was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of Raytheon Aircraft Corporation (Raytheon) Beech Models 65-90, 65-A90, 65-A90-1, 65-A90-2, 65-A90-3, 65-A90-4, B90, C90, C90A, E90, H90, and F90 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting for interference or damage between the elevator control cable and equipment under the cockpit floor panels (wire harnesses, stainless steel clamps, etc.) and running a cloth wrap around the control cable to detect broken strands of the control cable. This AD also requires replacing or repairing any damaged items, securing any component that is interfering with the elevator control cable, and installing additional supports and clamps as necessary to prevent sagging or further interference. This AD resulted from reports of reduced or loss of elevator control on five of the affected airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct interference between the elevator control cable and equipment under the cockpit floor panels before the elevator control cable breaks, which could result in loss of elevator control with potential loss of control of the airplane.

Boilerplate applicability only; the specific model/serial-number list precedes this excerpt and is not included, though the referenced '90 Series Maintenance Manual' (Beechcraft King Air 90-series) indicates the affected family. Requires inspecting the cockpit floor area on the pilot's side for interference/damage between the elevator control cable and equipment under the floor panels, repairing/securing as needed, and reinspecting, to prevent elevator control cable failure and loss of control.

Whether AD 99-10-07 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 99-10-07 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.
