This Directive requires operators of affected Beechcraft 200 (Super King Air) aeroplanes to inspect fuselage stringers 5–11 on both sides for cracking and to modify any cracked stringers in line with the Raytheon service bulletin cited. It applies to listed models and serial numbers except aircraft already modified.

It affects aircraft owners/operators (who pay for inspections and repairs) and maintenance organisations (who carry out the work). The measure responds to reported cracks near the rear pressure bulkhead and became effective 14 April 2005.
