This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 97-06-06, which was published in the Federal Register on March 13, 1997 (62 FR 11764), and concerns Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) 90, 99, 100, 200, and 1900 series airplanes (formerly referred to as Beech 90, 99, 100, 200, and 1900 series airplanes). This AD currently has two paragraph (f)'s. The AD currently requires inspecting the pilot and copilot chairs to ensure that the locking pins will fully engage in the seat tracks, and modifying any chair where the locking pin fails to fully engage or is misaligned. This action changes the second paragraph (f) to paragraph (g).
A correction restates part of an AD that was published incorrectly. It is not an additional requirement and it does not change the AD number or its effective date.

Full official abstract
This amendment supersedes AD 92-27-10, which currently requires inspecting the pilot and copilot chairs to ensure that the locking pins will fully engage in the seat tracks on certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) 90, 99, 100, 200, and 1900 series airplanes (formerly referred to as Beech 90, 99, 100, 200, and 1900 series airplanes), and modifying any chair where the locking pin fails to fully engage or is misaligned. AD 92-27-10 resulted from reports of pilot and copilot chair locking pin malfunctions. Since issuance of that AD, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that additional airplanes should be subject to the pilot and copilot chair locking pin inspection and possible modification, and that the inspection should be accomplished in accordance with revised procedures. This AD retains the inspection and possible modification requirements of AD 92-27-10; incorporates additional airplanes into the applicability over that included in AD 92-27-10; and requires the inspection in accordance with revised service information. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent inadvertent movement of the pilot or copilot chair, which could result in loss of control of the airplane if it occurs during a critical flight maneuver.
