FAA AD 2000-13-18

FAA
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 99-12-02. It places flight and operating
limitations on Raytheon Aircraft Corporation (Raytheon) Beech Models
45 (YT-34), A45 (T-34A, B-45), and D45 (T-34B) airplanes. AD 99-12-02
resulted from a report of an in-flight separation of the right wing on
a Raytheon Beech Model A45 (T-34A) airplane. The AD was issued as an
interim action until the development of FAA-approved inspection
procedures.
Raytheon has developed procedures to
inspect the wing spar assemblies of the above-referenced airplanes.
This AD requires repetitive inspections of the wing spar assembly for
cracks with replacement of any wing spar assembly found cracked
(unless the spar assembly has a crack indication in the filler strip
where the direction of the crack is toward the outside edge of the
filler strip).
This AD also includes a reporting
requirement of the results of the initial inspection and maintains the
flight and operating restrictions required by AD 99-12-02 until
accomplishment of the initial inspection.
The actions specified by this AD are
intended to prevent wing spar failure caused by fatigue cracks in the
wing spar assemblies and ensure the operational safety of the
above-referenced airplanes. |

FAA Special Airworthiness
Information Bulletin CD-02-38R2 issued December 16, 2002, which
replaces SAIB CE-02-38R1 issued August 7, 2002.
This revised SAIB advises owners of
Beech Models 45 (YT-34), A45 (T-34A, B-45), and D45 (T-34B) airplanes
of a means to extend the compliance time of AD 2001-13-18. It adds two
alternatives to the Raytheon repetitive inspection procedure. |

Experienced NTSB report
readers probably know exactly what this report is -- I'm a little
fuzzy. The link on the page that pointed to is was labeled "Probable
Cause" but it doesn't have nearly as much information as the web
page version of the probable cause report -- see previous item. |
