Résumé
This document proposes to revise Airworthiness Directive (AD) 97-15-13 R1, which currently requires installing lubrication fittings in the airstair door handle and latch housing mechanisms on certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes (commonly referred to as Beech Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes). Since issuance of AD 97-15-13 R1, Raytheon has revised the applicable service information to correct the reference to the number of parts each owner/operator of the affected airplanes should order and to change an incorrect reference to a maintenance manual. The proposed AD would retain the actions of AD 97-15-13 R1, and would incorporate the revised service bulletin into the proposed AD. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to continue to prevent moisture from accumulating and freezing in the airstair door handle and latch housing, which could result in the door freezing shut and passengers not being able to evacuate the airplane in an emergency situation.
