87-05-02 BEECH: Amendment 39-5553. Applies to Models 1900 and 1900C (all serial numbers) airplanes equipped with optional "chip detect" annunciators, certificated in any category.

Compliance: Required within the next 100 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished.

To preclude the reduction of the attention-getting qualities and enhance pilot awareness of the cockpit caution and warning annunciators, accomplish the following:

(b) An alternate means of compliance with paragraph (a) of the AD is as follows:

(1) Using pen-and-ink or other permanent means, delete the words "at the next point where maintenance can be performed" from the procedure entitled ILLUMINATION OF "CHIP DETECT" ANNUNCIATOR on page 3A-6.

(2) In place of the words deleted in step (1), insert the words "prior to the next takeoff".

(c) The requirements of paragraph (a) or (b) of this AD may be accomplished by the holder of a pilot certificate issued under Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) on any airplane owned or operated by him. The person accomplishing these actions must make the appropriate aircraft maintenance record entry as prescribed by FAR 91.173.

(d) An equivalent method of compliance with this AD, if used, must be approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Wichita, Kansas 67209; Telephone (316) 946-4400.

All persons affected by this directive may obtain copies of the documents applicable to this AD upon request to Beech Aircraft Corporation, 9709 East Central, P.O.
