AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
INSPECTION CHECKS
GENERAL
1. AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
This Airworthiness Limitations Section is FAA Approved and specifies maintenance required under Parts 43.16 and 91.403 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations unless an alternative program has been FAA approved. The following Airworthiness Limitations relating to the life of
the airplane and its components have been established with respect to the Super King Air 200 Series, which include the Super King Air
200, B200, and B200GT.
For structural inspections pertaining to the above airplanes, refer to Chapters 05, 53 and 57 of the Super King Air 200 Series
Maintenance Manual, P/N 101-590010-19 or subsequent, Chapters 05, 53 and 57 of the Super King Air Model B200GT/B200CGT Fusion
Maintenance Manual, P/N 434-590168-0009 or subsequent, and/or the Structural Inspection and Repair Manual, P/N 98-39006C or
subsequent.
Refer to LIMITATIONS in the Pilot's Operating Handbook and the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual for more information regarding the
airplane's flight limitations.
The airworthiness limitations listed in this chapter are based on airplane utilization, operation and maintenance in the category of service
for which the airplane was originally designed; specifically 95% or more time is accumulated from pressurized executive or corporate
transportation wherein the majority of cruise is above 10,000 ft. altitude (AGL) and flight duration is more than an hour. Should the
airplane be used for missions other than that intended by design, notify the Customer Support Department of Beechcraft Corporation for
a more appropriate life.
The following data may be used to track the life status of a part (This is not an exhaustive list).
• Airplane serial number
• Part number
• Part name
• Part serial number
• Date part was installed/removed
• Part flight hours/landings/cycles

mission profile of a particular airplane call for a majority of the flights to be below 10,000 feet, such as Air Taxi,
Commuter Air Service, Pipeline Surveillance, Search and Rescue or Navigation Aids Inspection, the above figures are
not appropriate. In such instances or for further information, contact the Customer Support Department of Beechcraft
Corporation.
