Current Maintenance Issues
Inspection / Replacement of Rivets Installed
by Kit P/N 101-4045
Background: During a review of kit drawing 101-4045, Beechcraft
Engineering discovered that the kit incorrectly called for solid aluminum
rivets instead of Hi-Lok fasteners at the forward edge of the upper wing
skin panels on some airplanes.
Resolution: Mandatory Bulletin SB57-4126
• Issued May 2013
• Provides information to determine type of
rivets installed and instructions to install HiLok rivets if needed.
Note: This bulletin only applies the B300/C and
A200CT model airplanes with kit 101-4045
installed. All other models with kit 101-4045
installed are not affected.
Model A200CT (RC-12K), Super King Air, Serials FE-1 through FE-36
Model B300, Super King Air, Serials FL-1 through FL-839
Model B300C, Super King Air, Serials FM-1 through FM-54 and FN-1
Aft Vertical Spar Inspection
Background: Possible short Edge Distance may exist on the aft vertical
spar angle at the left and right rivets attaching the fillet to the vertical
stabilizer aft spar cap. HBC discovered this condition on some airplanes
during an inspection of the manufacturing line.
Resolution: Mandatory Bulletin SB 55-4106 REV 1
• Re-Issued March 2013 to add additional serial numbers.
• Provides information needed to inspect for the short ED condition and the
information needed to correct the condition if found.

Cabin Venue Software Upgrade
Background: Rockwell Collins has updated the Cabin Venue system
software from version 2.1.2 to version 3.0. Version 3.0 software is
required in the event that the MCD Blu-ray drive assembly requires
replacement.
Resolution: Optional Bulletin SB44-4115
• Issued Aug. 2012
• Announces Rockwell Collins Service Bulletin HBC-Venue-44-03
All King Air 350i model airplanes
100 Amp Landing Gear Remote Circuit Breaker
Background: Some operators have reported nuisance landing gear
circuit breaker trips when operating in high ambient temperatures (above
100 degrees F)
Resolution:
The system has been redesigned to install a 100 amp remote controlled
circuit breaker (RCCB) in place of the 60 amp circuit breaker for the
landing gear motor circuit. Prevents nuisance circuit breaker trips when
operating in high ambient temperatures.
This takes affect at FL-792 and FM-53.

Aileron Installation
Safety Communiqué No. 324
(May 2012)
Issue: Potential for incorrect installation of ailerons
HBC has received four reports of partial or complete
aileron separation on Beechcraft airplanes due to
improper installation techniques. This resulted from the
aileron hinge bracket not being fully engaged in the aileron
before the attach screws are inserted. This allowed the
screws to pass through the aileron skin and the nutplate,
but not through the holes in the hinge bracket.
HBC reminds owners/operators/maintenance personnel of
the importance of adhering to applicable existing
inspection and maintenance procedures in the appropriate
airplane Maintenance Manual or Shop Manual.
All Models. All Serial Numbers
Fuel Leaks
Safety Communiqué No. 332
(May 2013)
Issue: Beechcraft has received reports of fuel leaking from wings (Baron and
Bonanza models) and nacelles (King Air models).
Beechcraft is investigating the fuel leaks that have been reported and will
publish additional information as appropriate.
Beechcraft reminds all owners/operators to pay particular attention during
preflight for potential fuel leaks. Ensure that there are no visible fuel leaks,
seeps, or staining. Pilots are reminded to monitor fuel levels during all phases of
flight.
Beechcraft reminds owners/operators/maintenance personnel of the importance
of adhering to fuel-related procedures in the applicable model Airplane Flight
Manual, Airplane Maintenance Manual, and Airplane Flight Manual Supplement.
Model Communiqué 2013-02
Issue: Aging Aircraft Inspection Program
It is Beechcraft Corporation’s position that the standard inspection program (AMM,
SIRM and ALM) meets the minimum requirements to keep the King Air fleet safely
flying. The program provides enough detail to alert owner/operators of potential
issues for their airplane.

Wing Inspection Program Evaluation
Background: The wing inspection requirements in the maintenance
manuals are intended for airplanes operated in the “category of service
for which they were designed”. That is, “Pressurized Corporate
Transportation”.
• Majority of cruise is above 10,000 feet
• Flight duration of more than an hour.
King Air SIRM 57-XX-00
The inspection schedules (Charts 201) in section one and two of this chapter identifies the
inspection areas, initial inspection periods, recurring inspection intervals and component
replacement times. These schedules are based on airplane utilization, operation and
maintenance in the category of service for which these airplanes were originally
designed; specifically, a pressurized executive or corporate transportation vehicles
wherein the majority of cruise is above 10,000 feet altitude and flight duration is more than
one hour.
Resolution: If your airplane is operated in other types of service, the wing
inspection requirements in the SIRM may not be appropriate for continued
airworthiness.
Example of “other” types of service:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Air Taxi/Commuter Air Service
Search and rescue
Nav aid/airway inspection
Maritime Patrol
Aerial survey
Fire Service
An evaluation should be done to determine if a special inspection program
is needed.
King Air SIRM 57-XX-00 Should the aircraft be used for missions other than that intended by
design, such as an air taxi, commuter air service, pipeline surveillance,
livestock/predator animal control, search and rescue, navigation aids inspection,
extraordinary service at low altitude or unusually short duration flights (less than 30
minutes), the inspections specified in the Standard Flight Profile Inspection Schedule (Chart
201) are not appropriate for continued airworthiness of the airplane structure.
Additional considerations:
• Modifications
Criteria:
• Less than 10,000 ft
• Duration of less than 1 hour
Contact Beechcraft Technical Support to request the evaluation.
There is no charge for the evaluation

High Utilization Inspection Program
King Air Inspection Programs - History
In 1957, P&WC began the development of a “small” turboprop engine.
That engine became known as the PT6.
26
• PW&C shipped the first production engine (PT6-6) to Beechcraft in 1963 to use
on the first King Air prototype, know as the Model 87.
• The first flight was on January 20th 1964
• Certified in June 1964
• First delivery was on October 8th 1964.
27
The history of the inspection programs reflects the fact that the
King Air evolved from piston airplanes, (Queen Air and Twin
Bonanza).
Original King Air Inspection Program (1964)
The original King Air inspection program was
patterned after the standard 100 hour/annual
inspection program that is typically used for piston
airplanes. This was our “OEM approved” inspection
program required by Part 91 for multi-engine turbine
airplanes.
• Complete inspection required every 12 months
and/or 100 hours
• Additional Items:
• Landing Gear Inspection Interval 1,000 Hours.
• Power Plant Overhaul Interval 600 hours.
The complete airplane was inspected every 12 months and/or 100 hours of operation
28
Late 60’s
The inspection program was revised in the late 60’s to provide more flexibility,
reduced down time and reduced inspection man hours. This program was
patterned after the FAR Part 91 Progressive Inspection program:
• The airplane is inspection in 4 “phases”
• Each inspection was to be completed at 150 hour intervals
• All 4 inspection to be completed within 18 months.
• Additional Inspection Items:
– Landing Gear Inspection Interval 7,500 Hours or 5 Years.
– Engine Overhaul Interval 3,000 Hours.
The complete airplane was inspected every 18 months and/or 600 hours of operation
29
Current Inspection Programs
In the late 90’s, the current “Phase Inspection” program was introduced to further
reduce inspection costs and provide more flexibility
Phase Inspection Program:
• The airplane is inspected in 4 “Phases”
• Each Phase must be completed at 200 hour intervals
• One inspection is required every 12 months
• All 4 Phases to be completed within 24 months.
• Additional Inspection items:
• Landing Gear Inspection Interval 8,000 Cycles or 6 Years.
• Engine Overhauls 3,600 hours.
The calendar time for a complete inspection cycle is increased from 18 to 24 months.
Time between inspection is increased from 150 to 200 hours.
30
Special Mission operators have requested increased times between
inspections for high utilization airplanes
Goal – develop an inspection program that:
• Reduces down-time
• Increase time between inspections
• Reduce inspection costs
31
This inspection program is designed for those airplanes operated more than 400
hours per year.
Similar to the current Phase Inspection Program
• 4 major inspections (now called Detail Inspections)
• The interval between Detail Inspections is increased from 200 hours to 400
hours.
• Same basic scope and detail as the current Phase inspections.
Some items that could not be increased to 400 hours
• Routine inspections are added at the 200 hour point between the 400 hour
Detail inspections.
• The Routine Inspection covers lubrication items and “Walk Around” with
certain operational checks.
• It is designed for minimal man hours and down time.
