Beechcraft 1900D — Airworthiness Directives

This document is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia, specifically addressing safety concerns related to the Beechcraft 1900 series aircraft. The directive mandates a one-time visual inspection of the wing rear spar lower caps for cracks and other damage, particularly for the Beechcraft 1900D model. The inspection is crucial due to recent reports of significant cracks found in the wings of two Model 1900D aircraft during routine maintenance. The document outlines the compliance requirements, including the timeline for inspection and reporting procedures. It emphasizes the importance of addressing any identified issues before further flight to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

• A one-time visual inspection of the wing rear spar lower caps is required for Model 1900D aircraft.
• The inspection must be completed within 24 hours of receiving the directive or before further flight.
• If cracks or damage are found, repairs must be made before the aircraft can fly again.
• The directive applies to Model 1900D aircraft with serial numbers UE-1 through UE-439.
• Repositioning flights for inspection are allowed under specific limitations, including a maximum indicated airspeed of 175 knots.
