Known trouble spots on the 200

Propeller blade / hub AD & overhaul currencymedium

Many Hartzell and McCauley constant-speed props carry blade-shank or hub ADs plus a calendar/hours overhaul interval; blade corrosion and hub grease leaks are common findings. Confirm the prop AD status and last overhaul against the interval.

King Air wing-spar fatigue (high-time/high-cycle)high

High-time / high-cycle Beech King Airs are subject to lower wing-spar-cap fatigue inspections (per the applicable spar AD and Beech structural-inspection program). Verify spar inspection compliance against the aircraft's hours and cycles.

NTSB history on the type

3 recorded events on the Beech 200 type — 1 fatal, 1 destroyed, 2 substantial damage. A per-tail report checks whether this aircraft has an accident or damage record.

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