Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This mandatory Airworthiness Directive requires operators of certain Beechcraft King Air C90 and E90 aircraft (specific serial-numbered aircraft) to inspect and modify the aft and nose hinged baggage-door latching mechanisms by installing a bellcrank stop per Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 1126 within 100 flight hours after 31 July 1980.

The change prevents baggage doors from opening in flight, eliminating a risk of structural damage or serious safety hazards.
