These are critical structural components; if they fail, the wing could separate from the fuselage.\n\n**What has happened to this AD:** This document is **Amendment 3** to the original directive, and it **cancels** the previous version. The safety requirements haven't disappeared — they've simply been moved to a different directive (**AD/BEECH 200/39**). This consolidation happened because Beechcraft (the manufacturer) replaced their original Service Instruction (SI 1140) with a new one (SI 1235).\n\n**Who needs to know:** Owners, operators, and maintenance engineers of Beechcraft Super King Air aircraft. They must now follow AD/BEECH 200/39 instead of this cancelled directive.\n\n**Why it matters:** Even though this specific document is cancelled, it shows how aviation safety works — manufacturers identify problems, issue service instructions, and regulators make compliance mandatory through Airworthiness Directives. The consolidation into AD/BEECH 200/39 likely streamlines requirements and reduces paperwork for operators."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-attach-fittings-bolts-and-nuts","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-attach-fittings-bolts-and-nuts/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-attach-fittings-bolts-and-nuts/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-attach-fittings-bolts-and-nuts/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-attach-fittings-bolts-and-nuts/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-attach-fittings-bolts-and-nuts/documents"}}
