TIME LIMITS/MAINTENANCE CHECKS
Description
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a safety precaution,
place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or maintenance. Make sure that all three
landing gears are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from the jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or maintenance
should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of safety, should it become
necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain variations must be
compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
This chapter contains an overhaul and replacement schedule, all scheduled inspection forms, and a chart for unscheduled
maintenance checks.
NOTE:
A.
B.

D.
E.
A flight cycle is defined as: Engine start-up and increase to full or partial power (as required during a normal
flight), one landing gear retraction and extension, and a complete shutdown.
The inspection program in this chapter, and within the computerized maintenance-tracking system, is based on number of flight
hours, cycles of operation and/or calendar time. The basis for calendar-time-limited inspections is the date on the "ORIGINAL
STANDARD AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE", which is issued with a new airplane. Additionally, Textron Aviation Inc.
recommends that operators record the number of cycles experienced on individual components for purposes of complying with
inspections based on cycle count. Recorded hour-meter time or an airplane log sheets can be used for determining when
inspections and maintenance based on flight hours will be due. The method chosen for recording flight hours should remain
consistent throughout the life of the airplane.
The times in this inspection program have been established only as a guideline to give the owner/operator a benchmark from
which to begin the program. The service history or fleet experience of a particular operation may indicate that departure from
the times in this chapter could be beneficial.
All inspections listed in this chapter, and within the computerized maintenance-tracking system, should be accomplished with
reference to the King Air 90 Series Maintenance Manual and the appropriate supplier maintenance publications. Maintenance
information on most of the major components of the airplane is contained in the King Air Series Component Maintenance
Manual.
Additional Requirements Introduced by Revision Action
(1) Unless otherwise directed by relevant notification or Service Bulletin, additional requirements introduced into the
Inspection Schedule must be met within 12 calendar months.
Special Conditions Cautionary Notice
(1) Airplanes operated for Air Taxi, or other than normal operation, and airplanes operated in humid tropics, cold and damp
climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion and/or lack of lubrication. Under these adverse
conditions, perform periodic inspections in compliance with this guide at more frequent intervals until the owner/operator
can set his own inspection periods based on the contingencies of field experience.
CAUTION: The recommended periods do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the period without
malfunction as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
F.
Inspection Programs
The Textron Aviation Inc. approved inspection program contained in this chapter is specifically for the King Air 90 series
airplane. Any variation to the inspection must be approved in writing by the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or
Airworthiness Authority. The Maintenance Inspection Program meets the requirement of both 14 CFR 91 and CFR 135.
(1) 200-Hour Phase Inspection Program
(a) A complete inspection cycle is 800 hours or 24 calendar months. The inspection cycle is divided into four phases and
each inspection cycle is done at 200 hours with each consecutive phase 200 hours after the previous phase. The
Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 inspections provide a thorough inspection of specific components and systems and occur at
200-hour intervals.

part of the inspection which has not been accomplished will become due immediately.
Completion of the phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 inspections shall be considered as a complete
inspection. Should an airplane exceed the limitations of the Textron Aviation Inc. inspection
program, the airplane must accomplish all phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 inspections, or a complete
inspection, to reestablish the airplane's inspection cycle.
(c) Although the times of the inspections may be altered, each item should be accomplished as stated in the inspection
program. A detailed preamble to this subchapter is included and should be read and understood before beginning
the Inspection Program.
(2) Alternate Phase Inspection Program
(a) For users flying less than 400 hours but more than 200 hours in 24 months, perform the Alternate Phase Inspection in
Chapter 05-21-00 or 05-25-00.
(b) Alternate Phase Inspection: If an airplane is not flown at least 400 hours in 24 months, the owner/operator has the
option of inspecting the airplane as follows:
•
Perform scheduled phase inspections 1 and 2 together within 12 months after the last inspection; then perform
scheduled phase inspections 3 and 4 together within 12 months after completing the phase 1 and 2
inspections.
NOTE:
Textron Aviation Inc. recommends that no airplane exceed 12 months or 200 ±20 flight hours
without completing at least one phase inspection. A complete scheduled inspection (or all phase 1,

NOTE:
Additional inspections may be required by engine or propeller manufactures in their manuals. Refer to the
unscheduled maintenance checks portion of the supplier issued manuals to ensure continued
airworthiness.
A.
B.
C.
D.
The owner/operator is ultimately responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition, including compliance with all
applicable Airworthiness Directives as specified in Part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) under the Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations. The owner/operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane, and ensure
that the airframe and power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to all necessary manuals and service
information as well as to an approved inspection guide.
Airframe and power plant mechanics must have had previous experience in the satisfactory performance of the tasks required
by this inspection before being qualified to supervise, approve and return to service the airplane or any part thereof in need of
maintenance, preventative maintenance, repair or alteration.
It is further the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected in conformity with the requirements
covered in 14 CFR Part 91.409 (f) (3) of the Federal Aviation Regulations. This FAR Part covers the requirements concerning
approved airplane inspection programs. Textron Aviation Inc. has prepared the Inspection Program to assist the owner or
operator in meeting the foregoing responsibilities.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to obtain specific approval from their local airworthiness authority for any
alteration to the inspection Program.
NOTE:
E.
F.
G.
When warranted by service experience or engineering recommendations, an approved maintenance
program, including the inspection intervals, may be changed at any time with the approval of the local
airworthiness authority.
This document is a portion of the publications by which Textron Aviation Inc.provides the inspection requirements and
maintenance schedules for the continued airworthiness of the airframe of your airplane. Remember, maintenance requirements
for some supplier components (such as engines, propellers, avionics and other equipment) are separately provided by their
respective manuals. Those maintenance requirements and schedules are adopted by reference in the airframe maintenance
instructions for continued airworthiness. Have your maintenance personnel review the equipment installed on your airplane to
ensure the current, up-to-date supplier maintenance publications and manuals are available and that all required maintenance is
scheduled and performed as required under 14 CFR 91.403 (c).
This Inspection Program is provided to enable the owner/operator to inspect and maintain the airplane on an ongoing basis.
Included in the program is a sequence for conducting the program along with suggested times. The times and sequence are
recommendations that may be altered to suit a particular operation. While this program may be used as an outline, detailed
information of the systems and components in the airplane will be found in the various chapters/sections of the maintenance
manual and the pertinent supplier publications. It is also recommended that reference be made to the applicable maintenance
handbooks, service instructions, applicable FAA Regulations, Publications and supplier's specification for torque values,
clearance, settings, tolerances and other requirements.
This program is not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such program can replace the good judgement of a certified airframe and
power plant mechanic in the performance of his duties.
NOTE:
2.
In addition to the inspections prescribed by this schedule, the altimeter instrument and static system
and all ATC transponders MUST be tested and inspected in compliance with the requirements specified

NOTE:
Textron Aviation Inc. recommends that no aircraft exceed 12 months without completing at least
one phase inspection.
(4) Special Inspections : Although this inspection program is based on 200-hour intervals, there are items which require
more, or less, frequent inspection or whose inspection interval is based on flight time, calendar elapsed time, or cycles.
These unique inspection items and their time intervals are described under SPECIAL INSPECTIONS and should be
reviewed prior to commencing any scheduled inspection.
(5) A complete scheduled inspection (all Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 Inspections) must be accomplished within a 24-calendar-month
period. Any part of the inspection which has not been accomplished will become due immediately. Completion of the
Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 Inspections shall be considered as a complete inspection.
NOTE:
Textron Aviation Inc.'s Recommended Inspection Program in accordance with 14 CFR 91.409 (f) (3)
consists of, but is not limited to, inspection items listed in this Inspection Guide, any applicable
Airworthiness Directives issued against the airframe or any equipment installed therein, conformity
to Type Certificate Data Sheet and Maintenance Manual Chapter 04 as applicable.
WARNING: Ascertain that all placards are in place and legible whenever the airplane has been repainted or
touched up after repairs. Replace any placards that have been inadvertently defaced or removed.
(6) While this guide may be used as an outline, detailed information of the many systems and components in the airplane will
be found in the various sections/chapters of this Maintenance Manual and the Engine Maintenance Manual. Reference to
the Engine Maintenance Manual is to the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-6, -6/C20, -20A, -21 or -28 Maintenance Manual.
It is also recommended that reference be made to the applicable supplier maintenance handbooks, Textron Aviation Inc.
service bulletins, applicable FAA Regulations and supplier bulletins and specifications for torque values, clearances,
settings, tolerances and other requirement. It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that the airframe and
power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to the previously noted documents as well as to this inspection
guide.
(7) Textron Aviation Inc. issues service information for the benefit of owners and fixed-base operators in the form of two
classes of service bulletins. The first class, MANDATORY Service Bulletins (red border) are changes, inspections and
modifications that could affect safety or crashworthiness. Textron Aviation Inc. considers compliance with these service
bulletins to be mandatory. Textron Aviation Inc. also issues a service bulletin having no border designated as either
RECOMMENDED or OPTIONAL in the compliance section within the bulletin. In the case of a RECOMMENDED Service
Bulletin, Textron Aviation Inc. feels the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections will benefit the owner/operator
and although highly recommended, they are not considered mandatory at the time of issuance. In the case of OPTIONAL
Service Bulletins, the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections compliance s at the owner/operator's
discretion.
(8) In the final analysis it is the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that all Textron Aviation Inc. service bulletins
which are pertinent to his particular operation are complied with.

Definitions
The terminology pertaining to the inspection procedures and their use is defined as follows:
(1) Flight Time - Flight time shall mean the total time from the moment the airplane first moves under its own power for the
purpose of flight until the moment it comes to rest at the next point of landing. ("Block-to-block" time).
(2) Maintenance - Means inspection, overhaul, repair, preservations and the replacement of parts, but excludes preventive
maintenance.
(3) Pilot in Command - Pilot in command shall mean the pilot responsible for the operation and safety of the airplane during
the time defined as flight time.
(4) Preventive Maintenance - Means simple or minor preservative operations and the replacement of small standard parts not
involving complex assembly operations.
(5) Time in Service - Time in Service, as used in computing maintenance and inspection time records, is the time from the
moment the airplane leaves the ground until it touches the ground at the end of the flight.
(6) Flight Cycle - A flight cycle is defined as: Engine start-up and increase to full or partial power (as required during a normal
flight), one landing gear retraction and extension and a complete shutdown.
(7) Corrosion - Pitting, or a surface breakdown of a material due to chemical or electro-chemical attack by atmosphere,
moisture or other agents.
(8) Wear - Material or part consumed as a result of exposure to operation or usage.
(9) Damaged - Rendered unusable for its intended purpose.
(10) Calendar Time - The time from the date on the "ORIGINAL AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE", FAA Form No. 8100-2,
which is issued with each new airplane, to be used as the basis for all TBO or of replacement components.
(11) Special Inspection - Inspections of components or systems based on calendar time, hours or cycles which do not coincide
with the scheduled inspection.
(12) Unscheduled Maintenance Checks - Inspections and checks for damage after operating the airplane in conditions which
could require unscheduled maintenance, i.e. lightning strikes, hard landing, polluted atmospheric conditions, etc.
Discrepancies
(1) Discrepancies that affect the airworthiness of the airplane will require the necessary corrective action to be accomplished
before the airplane is returned to service.
(2) Discrepancies that do not affect the airworthiness of the airplane may, at the discretion of the owner/operator, be carried
over to the next inspection period. All discrepancies thus carried over should be retained in the ship file until corrected.
(3) Discrepancies which occur during flight should be entered on the "In-Flight Work Sheet" by the pilot in command or another
responsible person.
(4) Forms for the "In-Flight Work Sheet", "Scheduled Inspection Work Sheet", and "Overhaul and Replacement Work Sheet"
are provided at the end of subchapter 05-00-00, 001. These forms may be copied for use during each phase of the
inspection.

D.
The owner/operator is ultimately responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition, including compliance with all
applicable Airworthiness Directives as specified in Part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) under the Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations. The owner/operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane, and ensure
that the airframe and power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to all necessary manuals and service
information as well as to an approved inspection guide.
Airframe and power plant mechanics must have had previous experience in the satisfactory performance of the tasks required
by this inspection before being qualified to supervise, approve and return to service the airplane or any part thereof in need of
maintenance, preventative maintenance, repair or alteration.
It is further the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected in conformity with the requirements
covered in 14 CFR Part 91.409 (f) (3) of the Federal Aviation Regulations. This FAR Part covers the requirements concerning
approved airplane inspection programs. Aircraft Company has prepared the Inspection Program to assist the owner or

alteration to the inspection Program.
NOTE:
E.
F.
G.
When warranted by service experience or engineering recommendations, an approved maintenance
program, including the inspection intervals, may be changed at any time with the approval of the local
airworthiness authority.
This document is a portion of the publications by which Textron Aviation Inc. provides the inspection requirements and
maintenance schedules for the continued airworthiness of the airframe of your airplane. Remember, maintenance requirements
for some supplier components (such as engines, propellers, avionics and other equipment) are separately provided by their
respective manuals. Those maintenance requirements and schedules are adopted by reference in the airframe maintenance
instructions for continued airworthiness. Have your maintenance personnel review the equipment installed on your airplane to
ensure the current, up-to-date supplier maintenance publications and manuals are available and that all required maintenance is
scheduled and performed as required under 14 CFR 91.403 (c).
This Inspection Program is provided to enable the owner/operator to inspect and maintain the airplane on an ongoing basis.
Included in the program is a sequence for conducting the program along with suggested times. The times and sequence are
recommendations that may be altered to suit a particular operation. While this program may be used as an outline, detailed
information of the systems and components in the airplane will be found in the various chapters/sections of the maintenance
manual and the pertinent supplier publications. It is also recommended that reference be made to the applicable maintenance
handbooks, service instructions, applicable FAA Regulations, Publications and supplier's specification for torque values,
clearance, settings, tolerances and other requirements.
This program is not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such program can replace the good judgement of a certified airframe and
power plant mechanic in the performance of his duties.
NOTE:
2.
In addition to the inspections prescribed by this schedule, the altimeter instrument and static system
and all ATC transponders MUST be tested and inspected in compliance with the requirements specified

SCHEDULED INSPECTION PROGRAM
(LJ-1063 AND AFTER)
1.
Phase Inspection Program
NOTE:
Additional inspections may be required by engine or propeller manufactures in their manuals. Refer to the
unscheduled maintenance checks portion of the supplier issued manuals to ensure continued
airworthiness.
A.
B.
C.
D.
The owner/operator is ultimately responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition, including compliance with all
applicable Airworthiness Directives as specified in Part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) under the Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations. The owner/operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane, and ensure
that the airframe and power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to all necessary manuals and service
information as well as to an approved inspection guide.
Airframe and power plant mechanics must have had previous experience in the satisfactory performance of the tasks required
by this inspection before being qualified to supervise, approve and return to service the airplane or any part thereof in need of
maintenance, preventative maintenance, repair or alteration.
It is further the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected in conformity with the requirements
covered in 14 CFR Part 91.409 (f) (3) of the Federal Aviation Regulations. This FAR Part covers the requirements concerning
approved airplane inspection programs. Textron Aviation Inc. has prepared the Inspection Program to assist the owner or
operator in meeting the foregoing responsibilities.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to obtain specific approval from their local airworthiness authority for any
alteration to the inspection Program.
NOTE:
E.
F.
G.
When warranted by service experience or engineering recommendations, an approved maintenance
program, including the inspection intervals, may be changed at any time with the approval of the local
airworthiness authority.
This document is a portion of the publications by which Textron Aviation Inc. provides the inspection requirements and
maintenance schedules for the continued airworthiness of the airframe of your airplane. Remember, maintenance requirements
for some supplier components (such as engines, propellers, avionics and other equipment) are separately provided by their
respective manuals. Those maintenance requirements and schedules are adopted by reference in the airframe maintenance
instructions for continued airworthiness. Have your maintenance personnel review the equipment installed on your airplane to
ensure the current, up-to-date supplier maintenance publications and manuals are available and that all required maintenance is
scheduled and performed as required under 14 CFR 91.403 (c).
This Inspection Program is provided to enable the owner/operator to inspect and maintain the airplane on an ongoing basis.
Included in the program is a sequence for conducting the program along with suggested times. The times and sequence are
recommendations that may be altered to suit a particular operation. While this program may be used as an outline, detailed
information of the systems and components in the airplane will be found in the various chapters/sections of the maintenance
manual and the pertinent supplier publications. It is also recommended that reference be made to the applicable maintenance
handbooks, service instructions, applicable FAA Regulations, Publications and supplier's specification for torque values,
clearance, settings, tolerances and other requirements.
This program is not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such program can replace the good judgement of a certified airframe and
power plant mechanic in the performance of his duties.
NOTE:
2.
In addition to the inspections prescribed by this schedule, the altimeter instrument (LJ-1063 thru LJ1846, LJ-1848 thru LJ-1852) and static system and all ATC transponders MUST be tested and inspected
in compliance with the requirements specified in 14 CFR 91.411 and 91.413 at 24-month intervals or
anytime the system is opened.
NOTE:
Information contained herein is applicable to Beech King Air 90 airplanes except where differences are
indicated by serial number effectivity.

properly altered condition. Genuine Textron Aviation Inc. parts are produced and inspected under rigorous
procedures to ensure airworthiness and suitability for use in Textron Aviation Inc. airplane applications
Parts purchased from sources other than Textron Aviation Inc., even though outwardly identical in
appearance, may not have had the required tests and inspections performed, may be different in fabrication
techniques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an airplane.
WARNING: Salvaged airplane parts, reworded parts obtained from non- Textron Aviation Inc. sources, or parts,
components, or structural assemblies, the service history of which is unknown or cannot be authenticated,
may have been subjected to unacceptable stresses or temperatures or have other hidden damage not
discernible through routine visual or usual nondestructive testing techniques. This may render the part,
component, or structural assembly, even though originally manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc.,
unsuitable and unsafe for airplane use
WARNING: Textron Aviation Inc. expressly disclaims any responsibility for malfunctions, failures, damage or injury
caused by use of non- Textron Aviation Inc.-approved parts or procedures.
A.
3.
The time periods for the inspections noted in this schedule are based on normal usage under average environmental
conditions. Airplanes operated for Air Taxi or other than normal operations and airplanes operated in humid tropics, or in cold
damp climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion, lubrication, and/or lack of maintenance. Under
these adverse conditions, perform periodic inspections in compliance with this guide at more frequent intervals until the owner
or operator can set his own inspection periods based on the contingencies of field experience.

inspections.
NOTE:
Textron Aviation Inc. recommends that no aircraft exceed 12 months without completing at least
one phase inspection.
(4) Special Inspections : Although this inspection program is based on 200-hour intervals, there are items which require
more, or less, frequent inspection or whose inspection interval is based on flight time, calendar elapsed time, or cycles.
These unique inspection items and their time intervals are described under SPECIAL INSPECTIONS and should be
reviewed prior to commencing any scheduled inspection.
(5) A complete scheduled inspection (all Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 Inspections) must be accomplished within a 24-calendar-month
period. Any part of the inspection which has not been accomplished will become due immediately. Completion of the
Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 Inspections shall be considered as a complete inspection.
NOTE:
Textron Aviation Inc.'s Recommended Inspection Program in accordance with 14 CFR 91.409 (f) (3)
consists of, but is not limited to, inspection items listed in this Inspection Guide, any applicable
Airworthiness Directives issued against the airframe or any equipment installed therein, conformity
to Type Certificate Data Sheet and Maintenance Manual Chapter 04 as applicable.
WARNING: Ascertain that all placards are in place and legible whenever the airplane has been repainted or
touched up after repairs. Replace any placards that have been inadvertently defaced or removed.
(6) While this guide may be used as an outline, detailed information of the many systems and components in the airplane will
be found in the various sections/chapters of this Maintenance Manual and the Engine Maintenance Manual. Reference to
the Engine Maintenance Manual is to the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-21 Maintenance Manual. It is also recommended
that reference be made to the applicable supplier maintenance handbooks, Textron Aviation Inc. service bulletins,
applicable FAA Regulations and supplier bulletins and specifications for torque values, clearances, settings, tolerances
and other requirement. It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that the airframe and power plant
mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to the previously noted documents as well as to this inspection guide.
(7) Textron Aviation Inc. issues service information for the benefit of owners and fixed-base operators in the form of two
classes of service bulletins. The first class, MANDATORY Service Bulletins (red border) are changes, inspections and
modifications that could affect safety or crashworthiness. Textron Aviation Inc. considers compliance with these service
bulletins to be mandatory. Textron Aviation Inc. also issues a service bulletin having no border designated as either
RECOMMENDED or OPTIONAL in the compliance section within the bulletin. In the case of a RECOMMENDED Service
Bulletin, Textron Aviation Inc. feels the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections will benefit the owner/operator
and although highly recommended, they are not considered mandatory at the time of issuance. In the case of OPTIONAL
Service Bulletins, the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections compliance s at the owner/operator's
discretion.
(8) In the final analysis it is the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that all Textron Aviation Inc. service bulletins
which are pertinent to his particular operation are complied with.

NOTE:
Since battery voltage is not sufficient to properly
cycle the landing gear, use only an external power
source capable of delivering and maintaining 28.25
± 0.25 volts throughout the extension and
retraction cycles when performing the landing gear
retraction inspection.
NOTE:
The hydraulic landing gear system pump may
cavitate and not operate properly during ground
use of the hydraulic power pack for retraction
and/or extension of the landing gear. To prevent
this, an exterior supply of dry air at 18 to 20 psi
must be applied to the power pack reservoir to
prevent cavitation. If an external air supply is not
available, use an external hydraulic pressure
source. (Ref. OPERATING THE LANDING GEAR

NOTE:
Since battery voltage is not sufficient to properly cycle
the landing gear, use only an external power source
capable of delivering and maintaining 28.25 ± 0.25 volts
throughout the extension and retraction cycles when
performing the landing gear retraction inspection.
NOTE:
The hydraulic landing gear system pump may cavitate
and not operate properly during ground use of the
hydraulic power pack for retraction and/or extension of
the landing gear. To prevent this, an exterior supply of
dry air at 18 to 20 psi must be applied to the power pack
reservoir to prevent cavitation. If an external air supply is
not available, use an external hydraulic pressure source.

Landing Gear Retraction
ATA REFERENCE

INSP
NOTE:
Since battery voltage is not sufficient to properly cycle
the landing gear, use only an external power source
capable of delivering and maintaining 28.25 ± 0.25 volts
throughout the extension and retraction cycles when
performing the landing gear retraction inspection.
NOTE:
The hydraulic landing gear system pump may cavitate
and not operate properly during ground use of the
hydraulic power pack for retraction and/or extension of
the landing gear. To prevent this, an exterior supply of
dry air at 18 to 20 psi must be applied to the power pack
reservoir to prevent cavitation. If an external air supply is
not available, use an external hydraulic pressure source.

NOTE:
Since battery voltage is not sufficient to properly cycle the landing
gear, use only an external power source capable of delivering and
maintaining 28.25 ± 0.25 volts throughout the extension and
retraction cycles when performing the landing gear retraction
inspection.
NOTE:
The hydraulic landing gear system pump may cavitate and not
operate properly during ground use of the hydraulic power pack for
retraction and/or extension of the landing gear. To prevent this, an
exterior supply of dry air at 18 to 20 psi must be applied to the
power pack reservoir to prevent cavitation. If an external air supply
is not available, use an external hydraulic pressure source. (Ref.

BIENNIAL SCHEDULED INSPECTION PROGRAMS
(LJ-1063 AND AFTER)
Biennial Scheduled Inspection Program
NOTE:
This inspection is an optional program for aircraft operating 200 hours or less in a 24-Month period (Ref: 0500-00, 001).
NOTE:
Additional inspections may be required by engine or propeller manufactures in their manuals. Refer to the
unscheduled maintenance checks portion of the supplier issued manuals to ensure continued
airworthiness.
A.
B.
C.
D.
The owner/operator is ultimately responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition, including compliance with all
applicable Airworthiness Directives as specified in Part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) under Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations. The owner/operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane, and ensure
that the airframe and power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to all necessary manuals and service
information as well as to an approved inspection guide.
Airframe and power plant mechanics must have had previous experience in the satisfactory performance of the tasks required
by this inspection before being qualified to supervise, approve, and return to service the airplane or any part thereof in need of
maintenance, preventive maintenance, repair or alteration.
It is further the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected in conformity with the requirements
covered in 14 CFR Part 91.409 (f) (3) of the Federal Aviation Regulations. This FAR Part covers the requirements concerning
approved airplane inspection programs. Textron Aviation Inc. has prepared the Inspection Program to assist the owner/operator
in meeting the foregoing responsibilities.
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to obtain specific approval from their local airworthiness authority for any alteration
to the inspection program.
NOTE:
E.
F.
When warranted by service experience or engineering recommendations, an approved maintenance
program, including the inspection intervals, may be changed at any time with the approval of the local
airworthiness authority.
This document is a portion of the publications by which Textron Aviation Inc. provides the inspection requirements and
maintenance schedules for the continued airworthiness of the airframe of your airplane. Remember, maintenance requirements
for some suppliers components (such as engines, propellers, avionics and other equipment) are separately provided by their
respective manuals. Those maintenance requirements and schedules are adopted by reference in the airframe maintenance
instructions for continued airworthiness. Have your maintenance personnel review the equipment installed on your airplane to
ensure that current, up-to-date supplier maintenance publications and manuals are available and that all required maintenance
is scheduled and performed as required under 14 CFR 91.403 (c).
This Inspection Program is provided to enable the owner/operator to inspect and maintain the airplane on an ongoing basis.
Included in the program is a sequence for conducting the program along with suggested times. The times and sequence are
recommendations that may be altered to suit a particular operation. While this program may be used as an outline, detailed
information of the systems and components in the airplane will be found in the various chapters/sections of the maintenance
manual and the pertinent supplier publications. It is also recommended that reference be made to the applicable maintenance
handbooks, service instructions, applicable FAA regulations and publications and supplier's specifications for torque values,
clearances, settings, tolerances and other requirements. This program is not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such program
can replace the good judgement of a certified airframe and power plant mechanic in the performance of his duties.
NOTE:
2.
In addition to the inspections prescribed by this schedule, the altimeter instrument and static system
and all ATC transponders MUST be tested and inspected in compliance with the requirements specified
in 14 CFR 91.411 and 91.413 at 24-month intervals or anytime the system is opened.
NOTE:
Information contained herein is applicable to all Beech King Air 90 airplanes except where differences
are indicated by serial number effectivity.
Special Conditions Cautionary Notice
CAUTION: The time periods in this schedule do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the period without
malfunction as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
WARNING: Use only genuine Textron Aviation Inc., or Textron Aviation Inc.-approved parts obtained from Textron
Aviation Inc.-approved sources in connection with the maintenance and repair of Textron Aviation Inc.
airplanes to assure that the airplane is returned to service in a condition at least equal to its original or

properly altered condition. Genuine Textron Aviation Inc. parts are produced and inspected under rigorous
procedures to ensure airworthiness and suitability for use in Textron Aviation Inc. airplane applications.
Parts purchased from sources other than Textron Aviation Inc., even though outwardly identical in
appearance, may not have had the required tests and inspections performed, may be different in fabrication
techniques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an airplane.
WARNING: Salvaged airplane parts, reworked parts obtained from non- Textron Aviation Inc.-approved sources, or
parts, components, or structural assemblies, the service history of which is unknown or cannot be
authenticated, may have been subjected to unacceptable stresses or temperatures or have other hidden
damage not discernible through routine visual or usual nondestructive testing techniques. This may render
the part, component, or structural assembly, even though originally manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc.,
unsuitable and unsafe for airplane use.
WARNING: Textron Aviation Inc. expressly disclaims any responsibility for malfunctions, failures, damage or injury
caused by use of non- Textron Aviation Inc.-approved parts or procedures.
A.
3.
The time periods for the inspections noted in this schedule are based on normal usage under average environmental
conditions. Airplanes operated for Air Taxi or other than normal operations and airplanes operated in humid tropics, or in cold
damp climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion, lubrication and/or lack of maintenance. Under
these adverse conditions, perform periodic inspections in compliance with this guide at more frequent intervals until the
owner/operator can set his own inspection periods based on the contingencies of field experience.
Scheduled Inspection General Information

tolerances and other requirements. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that the airframe and power plant
mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to the previously noted documents as well as to this inspection guide.
(3) Textron Aviation Inc. issues service information for the benefit of owners and fixed-base operators in the form of two
classes of service bulletins. The first class, MANDATORY Service Bulletins (red border) are changes, inspections and
modifications that could affect safety or crashworthiness. Textron Aviation Inc. considers compliance with these service
bulletins to be mandatory. Textron Aviation Inc. also issues a service bulletin having no border designated as either
RECOMMENDED or OPTIONAL in the compliance section within the bulletin. In the case of a RECOMMENDED Service
Bulletin, Textron Aviation Inc. feels the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections will benefit the
owner/operator, and although highly recommended, they are not considered mandatory at the time of issuance. In the case
of OPTIONAL Service Bulletins, the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections compliance is at the
owner/operator's discretion.
(4) In the final analysis it is the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that all Textron Aviation Inc. service bulletins
which are pertinent to his particular operation are complied with.

NOTE:
Since battery voltage is not sufficient to properly cycle the
landing gear, use only an external power source capable
of delivering and maintaining 28.25 ± 0.25 volts throughout
the extension and retraction cycles when performing the
landing gear retraction inspection.
NOTE:
The hydraulic landing gear system pump may cavitate and
not operate properly during ground use of the hydraulic
power pack for retraction and/or extension of the landing
gear. To prevent this, an exterior supply of dry air at 18 to
20 psi must be applied to the power pack reservoir to
prevent cavitation. If an external air supply is not available,
use an external hydraulic pressure source. (Ref.

Table 606. Inspection After Hard or Overweight Landing
ITEM
INSPECTION REQUIREMENT
INSPECTION INTERVAL
WARNING:
Even though "wrinkles" in the wing or fuselage skin surface may be slight enough to be considered as negligible, a
close inspection of the internal supporting structure may reveal serious damage.
NOTE:
The airplane has been designed to withstand a vertical descent velocity of 6ft./second at the maximum take-off weight
and 10 ft./second at the maximum landing weight. Closely related to a hard landing is an overweight landing, which is
defined as landing the airplane with a vertical decent rate greater than 360 ft/min (feet per minute) when the airplane
gross weight is greater than the maximum landing weight but less than maximum take-off weight. An overweight
landing is also any landing when the airplane gross weight is greater than maximum take-off weight.
This inspection should be carried out after a hard or overweight landing and before the airplane is certified as ready for
further flight. The inspections are conducted at two levels. The first level consists of determining if any external damage
has occurred and looking for evidence of internal structural failure. The second level is concerned with a more detailed
inspection of any damage areas which were indicated in the findings of the first level inspection. If it is determined by
the first level inspection that there is no damage to the airplane, it is not necessary to proceed to the second level
inspection.
1.
First Level Inspection
Inspect tires for excessive wear, splits in
the tread, bottoming out or folding over the
side walls.
Check the wheels for flat spots or cracked
castings.
Check shock struts and attachment lugs for
cracks Inspect hydraulic brake lines for
leaks.
Inspect downlock, drag link and gear door
retract linkage for damage.
Inspect landing gear actuator attachment
lugs.
Inspect supports between main and aft
spars in upper wheel well and the lift leg
attach bracket at the main spar for
deformation, cracks, etc.
Inspect areas around landing gear attach
points.
Inspect the main landing gear drag brace
support structure as follows:
a.
Landing Gear
•
Place the airplane on jacks.
•
Disconnect the upper drag brace
from the airplane structure in both
the LH and RH wheel wells.
•
Using a flashlight and mirror,
inspect all of the drag brace
support structure for possible
cracks, particularly at the lower
radius of the U-channel where it
attaches to the main spar.

•
If cracks are suspected but are not
clearly defined, the suspect area
should be dye penetrant inspected,
using visible dyes as outlined in
AC43.13.1B/2B.
•
If cracks are found, contact
Technical Support and report the
findings for evaluation.
•
If no cracks are found, reinstall the
drag brace.
NOTE:
Textron Aviation recommends that airplanes having experienced severe, or hard landings or other abnormal landing
incidents which may have placed undue stress on the landing gears, are to be inspected within the first 100 service
hours after such hard landing and at each 600 service hours thereafter for two consecutive cycles.
NOTE:
Airplanes having received repairs in this area, upon Textron Aviation recommendations, are exempt from this
inspection except in the event of a future hard or abnormal landing incident.

At times, the difficulty is not in inspecting
the airplane, but in determining if a strike
has taken place. Most times, an exit
location will show which has caused
damage to the components. The entry
point is most often the propeller. A
darkened area in the propeller tip may be
noticeable after a lightning strike. A 3- to 5power magnifier will show slag at the
bottom of a "nick" in the propeller blade. If
a strike is suspected, inspect deep nicks
in the blade. Damage after a lightning
strike should be corrected utilizing the
applicable propeller manufacturer
procedure. Blade overhaul must be
accomplished by a certified propeller
mechanic.
Whenever the propeller has been struck by
lightning, the propeller governors must be
replaced or overhauled. Refer to
Woodward Service Bulletin 33574 or
subsequent revision.
Inspect as instructed in the appropriate
Engine Maintenance Manual.
Carefully inspect the exterior of the
airplane. Evidence of a strike will usually
appear as a burned hole or as a series of
burned holes in metallic surfaces. Plastic
parts may be delaminated and/or
deformed due to high internal pressures.
Normally two or more points will be found,
the entry and the exit points. Antennas are
frequently an entry point of lightning and
should be carefully inspected for evidence
of arcing, sooting or pitting.
From point of entry, the strike usually
spreads aft in a series of small holes or
burn marks. After points of entry and exit
are found, the structure between these
points should be carefully inspected.
Attention should be given to hinges and
hinge pins for possible pitting. Cables,
pulleys, bearings, bolts and all bonding
jumpers in the area should be inspected
for possible damage. Antennas and
electrical and electronic equipment should
be visually checked for damage and
functionally checked for operation. If the
strike was near the fuel vent, all plumbing
should be carefully inspected for damage.
Steel components may exhibit magnetism
and require degaussing so as not to affect
compass systems.

WARNING:
Even though wrinkles in the skin surfaces may be considered slight enough to be considered as negligible, a close
inspection of the internal supporting structure may reveal serious damage. Determine that the surfaces are in their
normal configuration when stowed or deployed.
NOTE:
This inspection should be carried out after the landing gear doors have been deployed at an airspeed above the critical
deployment speed and before the airplane is returned to service. The inspection will be conducted on two levels. The
first level consists of determining if any external damage has occurred and looking for evidence of internal structural
failure. The second level is concerned with a more detailed inspection of damaged areas which were indicated in the
findings of the first level inspection. If it is determined by the first level of inspection that there is no damage to the
landing gear door and surrounding structure, it is not necessary to proceed to the second level inspection.

Operations In or Around Volcanic Ash
Flight operations in or exposure to volcanic ash may cause airframe damage and/or systems degradation. Volcanic ash is highly
corrosive and airborne ash particles can be abrasive to exterior components and coatings. Additionally, ash can contaminate and
even obstruct airframe systems and components such as heat exchangers, environment cooling turbines, water separator socks, and
pitot-static system plumbing.
Engine components and filter may become contaminated with volcanic ash.
If an airplane has been operated in or exposed to volcanic ashes, including ash cloud fallout, perform an ash encounter survey,
before the next flight, to determine the level of contamination or damage and formulate a maintenance plan to maintain continued
airworthiness.
A. Ash Encounter Survey
In most cases, an initial indicator of volcanic ash encounter will be noted on a post flight or preflight inspection. In more extreme
cases, the crew may actually experience an in-flight engine or airframe system performance degradation. A dusting or fogging
of the cockpit and/or cabin interior and furnishings may also be noted as volcanic ash is circulated by the airplanes air
distribution system. If the pilot determines a more in depth ash encounter survey is necessary, guidelines for this survey and
recommended maintenance actions are provided in the following.
If an airplane has been operated in or exposed to volcanic ashes, taxied on airfields subjected to volcanic ash fallout, or
exposed to blowing ash, this survey will require gaining access to the avionics area, wing flap cove areas, landing gear wheel
wells, engine compartment and fuselage area.
This survey should be conducted by personnel familiar with airframe configuration and systems of the airplane involved. As a
general rule, the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), Preflight Inspection; EXTERIOR INSPECTION, will provide a logical path
through the areas of exterior evaluation. While conducting this inspection, particular attention should be given to airframe and
engine leading edge surfaces, engine air inlet and exhaust areas, external lights and lenses, and fuselage air inlet and exhaust
openings and drains (including the pitot-static system) for abrasion or contamination. Wing flap, airframe cavities, low points or
other semi protected areas may harbor ash deposits as well. For the interior of the airplane, attention should be given to air
distribution ducts and/or air outlets and cockpit and cabin furnishings for evidence of ash deposits.
Pilot reports of in-flight ash encounter and any associated airplane performance issues should also be considered during this
survey. This information, along with any inspection findings, should be reviewed to determine the volcanic ash exposure.
(1) VOLCANIC ASH EXPOSURE SURVEY
If airplane survey findings and/or pilot reports indicate any of the following, do the related MAINTENANCE ACTION(S)
before the next flight.
•
Acrid odor (e.g. smell of sulfur gas or a hot electrical smell) noted in the cockpit or cabin area.
•
Visible airborne particles or contaminants, or similar report of air quality, in the cockpit or cabin area during flight.
•
Dusting or ash particles in the cockpit or cabin area.
•
Electrostatic discharge (St. Elmo's fire) on windshield, nose or engine cowlings.
•
Engine exhaust gas temperature (ITT) fluctuations with return to normal values.

B.
Light unpainted surface abrasion is defined as a slight surface roughness when felt with the
fingers or viewed with magnification. Light painted surface erosion is defined as erosion of
the topcoat of paint only but the base primer is still visible. No bare metal or composite
material is exposed.
Moderate unpainted surface abrasion is defined as a visible surface roughness when view
from a distance of approximately 3 feet (1 meter) using ambient daytime lighting. Moderate
paint erosion is defined as erosion through the top coat and base primer, exposing the
underlying bare metal or composite material.
Heavy unpainted surface abrasion is defined as the removal of base metal or composite
material from a main structure or subassembly. Heavy paint erosion is defined as removal of
the top coat, base primer and any portion of bare metal or composite material.
Light, moderate or heavy unpainted surface abrasion to the leading edge surfaces of windshield retainers, wings,
engine inlets and horizontal stabilizer. This criterion also applies to landing and navigation lights and lenses.
Ash deposits accumulated in the nose avionics compartments, landing gear wheel wells and/or wing flap, aileron,
aileron tab, rudder, rudder tab, elevator, elevator tab cove areas. Light surface dust is permissible.
Obstruction or plugging of pitot tubes and/or static ports resulting in erroneous instrument readings.
Ash deposits noted from pitot-static system drains.
Painted surface erosion of radome, vertical stabilizer leading edge and elevator horns.
Ash deposits present in the air distribution system components.
Frosting or chipping of cockpit windshields, landing and navigation lights and lenses due to impact of ash.
Ash deposits in any air intakes.
Engine damage.
Vibration, surging of engine.
Uncommanded In-flight engine shutdown.
Loss of engine generator due to ingestion of ash.
Maintenance Action
WARNING: Do not spray water on electrical or avionics components.
WARNING: Before doing external cleaning, desalination and washing of the airplane engines it is emphasized that
a compressor wash should only be done if specified by the engine manufacturer's technical data.
NOTE:
In addition to the tasks listed below, refer to the Pratt and Whitney Service Information Leaflet (SIL)
GEN-104 or subsequent revision thereof.
NOTE:
After an airplane has encountered low volcanic ash concentrations in flight, perform a visual inspection
(to include, but not limited to) the following areas for signs of abrasion or ash contamination during
pre/post-flight walk around (reference appropriate Flight Manual):
NOTE:
Volcanic ash deposits should be completely removed from all airframe and engine surfaces, including
all wing and flight control enclosures, landing gear wheel well areas and nacelles. If the surface
accumulation of ash deposits is greater than ¼ inch (6 mm), initial removal should be accomplished
with the hand brushes or vacuum equipment. Ash deposits which collect in close tolerance areas or
moving surface hinge points may cause sticky or binding operation. Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) should be worn, when applicable, when removing volcanic ash.
(1) Perform a clear, fresh water rinse of the airplanes exterior structure, including all wing and flight control enclosures and
landing gear wheel well areas (Ref. 20-08-00, 201). - Rinse all areas thoroughly with water. No ash deposits should
remain. Avoid spraying water directly on electrical/avionics components.
(2) Following a clear, fresh water rinse, inspect airframe and engine cavities and low points for standing water. Remove any
standing water to prevent corrosion formation.
