## Summary

This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) 90, 100, and 200 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require you to inspect the forward side of the aft pressure bulkhead for scoring damage and repair, if necessary. This proposed AD is the result of reports of the aft pressure bulkhead being damaged by scoring during manufacture. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to detect and correct damage to the aft pressure bulkhead of the fuselage. Such damage could lead to fatigue failure of the bulkhead.
