REGULATORY TEXT:  
89-22-14 BEECH: Amendment 39-6357. Applicability: 90, 200, and 300 series airplanes (all serial numbers) 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 prevent possible aileron flutter, accomplish the following:

(a) For Models C90A (S/N LJ-1132 through LJ-1167), B200 (S/N BB-1246 through BB-1285 except BB-1272), 300 (S/N FA-91 through FA-140 except FA-120 and FA-128), A200CT (S/N BP-59 through BP-63), and B200C (S/N BP-64 through BP-66 and BV-1 through BV-8), inspect each aileron using the tap procedure in Beech Service Bulletin No. 2256, dated November 1988. If this inspection shows the presence of foam, prior to further flight remove the foam in accordance with the procedures in the above Service Bulletin.

(b) For all other affected airplanes, check the airplane records to determine if any aileron has been replaced for any reason subsequent to January 1, 1985. If so, inspect the aileron using the tap procedure in Beech Service Bulletin No. 2256. If this inspection shows the presence of foam, prior to further flight remove the foam in accordance with the procedures in the above Service Bulletin.

NOTE 1: If the applicability of paragraph (b) is uncertain, perform a "tap test" on each area between the rivet rows along the aft 8.0 inches of the aileron skins. Use care in tapping to reduce the possibility of chipping the paint.

(1) A tinny, hollow sound indicates an acceptable area.

(2) A solid, heavy sound indicates that Scotch foam is present and must be removed.

(c) Airplanes may be flown in accordance with FAR 21.197 to a location where this AD may be accomplished.

(d) An alternate method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an equivalent level of safety, may be approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Wichita, Kansas 67209; Telephone (316) 946-4400.

NOTE 2: The request should be forwarded through an FAA Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office.

All persons affected by this directive may obtain copies of the document referred to herein upon request to the Beech Aircraft Corporation, Commercial Service, Department 52, Wichita, KS 67201-0085; or may examine these documents at the FAA, Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel, Room 1558, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106.

This amendment (39-6357, AD 89-22-14) becomes effective on November 17, 1989.
