Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Models A200CT, B200, B200C, B200CT, 200T/B200T, 300, B300, and B300C airplanes. This AD requires replacing the main landing gear left and right actuator clevis assembly. Reports of main landing gear failure on two of the affected airplanes prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the actuator clevis assembly in the main landing gear caused by fatigue cracking of the original design part, which could result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.
