AD 2003-09-12 Amendment 39-13141

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Model 1900D airplanes. This AD requires you to accomplish a one-time inspection for missing rivets on certain areas of the airplane and, if necessary, install rivets. This AD is the result of Raytheon identifying several instances of missing rivets on these airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct an understrength condition in the fuselage, which could result in the failure of the fuselage. Such failure could lead to loss of control of the airplane in flight.
