Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive orders owners/operators of certain Beechcraft King Airs (Model 200/B200/200C/200T — specified serial numbers) to inspect and modify the pilot and co‑pilot seats per Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 1176 to prevent the shoulder harness from jamming in the seat structure.

The fix must be done within 100 flight hours after 31 July 1981 because a jammed harness can leave dangerous slack and fail to restrain pilots in a crash.
