Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of specified Beech 1900 series aeroplanes to inspect the four flap flexible driveshaft assemblies for correct diagonal wrap and installation, and to replace any incorrectly wrapped or incorrectly installed driveshaft before further flight. It affects operators and maintenance organisations for the listed serial-number aircraft, must be completed within 200 flight hours of the AD's effective date, and addresses flap extension/retraction failures that can produce asymmetric flaps.
