Summary
This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to Beech Aircraft Corporation (Beech) Model 1900D airplanes. The proposed action would require inspecting the cabin partition to ensure that a right-hand forward partition bracket exists on certain airplanes, installing this bracket if it does not exist, and improving the right-hand forward partition installation on all affected airplanes. Deficiencies found during a structural analysis of the cabin partition prompted the proposed action. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent cabin partition failure because of a structural deficiency, which, if not detected and corrected, could cause passenger injury if the partition could not withstand the load incurred with the baggage compartment loaded to its 250-pound limit.
