to remove a transitional provision from the compliance, which is no longer applicable.
             Amendment 5, effective 12 March 2009, allowed the application of a 10% tolerance to the compliance time.  The Beech 200 maintenance manual allows this tolerance for all special inspections which are flight cycle and/or hourly limited.  There were no changes to the technical requirements.
             Amendment 4, effective 24 November 2005, removed the reference to the revision date and page number in the requirement document.  The revision date was replaced with "latest revision".  This will ensure that the AD is correct when the Maintenance Manual is inevitably revised again.  There were no changes to the technical requirements or compliance.
             The previous amendment, Amendment 3, effective 15 April 2004, removed Requirement 2 which was to inspect for score marks and repair the aft pressure bulkhead if necessary in accordance with Raytheon Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin 53-3513 Rev 1.  This inspection is now mandated by a separate Airworthiness Directive, following the issuing of FAA AD 2003-13-16.
             Amendment 2, effective 11 February 2004, clarified the applicability of the AD, to include aircraft that have had post production removal and installation of the insulation material covering the rear pressure bulkhead.  The compliance time for requirement 2 was brought forward to reflect the shorter compliance time required by the FAA AD.  There was no change to the requirements in this amendment.
             Amendment 1, effective 20 March 2003, added the requirement to inspect and repair the aft pressure bulkhead in accordance with a mandatory service bulletin issued by the manufacturer.  It also added a visual inspection of the area around the cabin outflow valve cutouts for damage which has been observed on an Australian registered aircraft, but was not mentioned as an area to be inspected in the manufacturer's mandatory service bulletin or maintenance manual.

   The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 7 March 2000.
