AD 99-12-07 Amendment 39-11191

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Model 1900D airplanes. This AD requires replacing the passenger oxygen container and mask assembly with an improved design passenger oxygen container and mask assembly. This AD is the result of an incident where a passenger had put on the oxygen mask and the lanyard pin did not automatically pull and initiate oxygen flow during a loss of airplane pressurization while in-flight. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the above situation from occurring on other airplanes, which could result in passenger injury if the lanyard pin is not manually pulled in a timely manner.
