Adoption of the Amendment \n\n\n\tAccordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: \n\nPART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES \n\n0 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: \n\n\n\tAuthority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. \n\n\n\nSec. 39.13 (Amended) \n\n0 2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive: \n\n2020-25-01 Textron Aviation, Inc., (Type Certificate Previously Held by Beechcraft Corporation): Amendment 39-21343; Docket No. FAA-2020- 0718; Project Identifier 2019-CE-045-AD. \n\n(a) Effective Date \n\n\n\tThis airworthiness directive (AD) is effective January 11, 2021. \n\n(b) Affected ADs \n\n\n\tNone. \n\n\n\t(c) Applicability \n\n\n\tThis AD applies to the Textron Aviation Inc., (Textron) (type certificate previously held by Beechcraft Corporation) airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in table 1 to paragraph (c) of this AD: (GRAPHIC) (TIFF OMITTED) TR07DE20.006 \n\n(d) Subject \n\n\n\tJoint Aircraft System Component (JASC): 5700, Wings. \n\n(e) Unsafe Condition \n\n\n\tThis AD was prompted by information provided by Textron that a washer assembly may provide premature torque indication that could lead to cracking of the wing fitting. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent such fatigue cracks. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of the forward lower wing fitting, which could lead to wing separation and loss of airplane control. \n\n(f) Compliance \n\n\n\tComply with this AD within the compliance times specified below, unless already done. \n\n(g) Action \n\n\n\t(1) Within the next 200 flight hours after the effective date of this AD or within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, inspect each washer assembly attached to the left and right lower forward wing bolts and remove all part number 90-380058-1 washers in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs 3 through 5, of Beechcraft Mandatory Service Letter MTL-57-01, Revision 1, dated September 19, 2018 (MTL- 57-01, Revision 1). In all locations where a washer part number 90- 380058-1 was removed, do the following: \n\t(i) Inspect the bolt, nut, and fitting in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 6, of MTL-57-01, Revision 1. If there is a crack in the fitting, replace the fitting before further flight. \n\t(ii) Install a part number 90-380019-1 washer in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 7, of MTL-57-01, Revision 1. \n\t(2) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install washer part number 90-380058-1 on any airplane listed in table 1 to paragraph (c) of this AD. \n\n(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) \n\n\n\t(1) The Manager, Wichita ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
