Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company Model 2000 Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Model 2000 airplanes (commonly referred to as Beech Model 2000 airplanes). This AD requires inspecting the stainless steel fuel line, part number (P/N) 3035737, for evidence of chafing and a minimum clearance between the fuel line and power lever bracket, P/N 122-940028-1; and replacing the fuel line and modifying the power lever bracket, as necessary. This AD is the result of chafing found on the stainless steel fuel line on several of the affected airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fuel line chafing caused by interference with the power lever bracket, which could result in fuel leakage and cause a fire in the engine compartment.
