Beech 200 — Airworthiness Directives & records checklist
233 Beech 200s are on the U.S. registry. Here’s what a records review covers for one — the Airworthiness Directives that apply, the known trouble spots, and the checklist a buyer or owner should hold every logbook against.
Airworthiness Directives that apply to the Beech 200
- one-timeAD 83-07-14 — Airworthiness Directives; Beech Models F90, 200, 200C, 200CT, 200T, B200 and B200C Airplanes · 1983-01-01
- one-timeAD 76-09-02 — Airworthiness Directives; effective May 3, 1976. FIGURE 1 AD 76-09-02 FOOTER: Textron Aviation Inc. 200 A100-1 (U-21J) A200 (C-12A) Textron Aviation Inc.\20 · 1976-01-01
This is the applicability list. Which of these are complied with, their computed next-due dates, and the 54 serial/mod-conditional ADs that actually apply to your aircraft come from its digitized logbooks — that’s the verified report.
Known trouble spots on the 200
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.
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.
