Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of certain Beechcraft 200 (Super King Air) aeroplanes to inspect for wiring or components forward of the instrument panel that could interfere with flight controls, and to secure any items found, using Raytheon Mandatory Service Bulletin 27-3232. It applies to specific serial-numbered aircraft and matters because a reported incident showed avionics wiring entangled the flight control column, temporarily restricting aileron and elevator control; the AD imposes a short compliance window to remove the immediate risk.
