Applicability: Beechcraft 200 (Super King Air) series aeroplanes (Including models 200, B200, 200C, B200C, 200T, B200T), all serial numbers. Requirement: Inspect the entire forward and aft side of the rear pressure bulkhead and the outflow and safety valve box for cracks and loose or missing rivets in accordance with Beech Super King Air 200 series maintenance manual, latest revision, Special Inspections, Section 5-20-05, Inspection item 51 "Aft fuselage area and rear pressure bulkhead". While doing the inspection, also note any damage such as sharp dents or punctures in the bulkhead and around the outflow and safety valve box. Damage such as this increases stress concentration and may develop into cracks at some stage in the future. Ensure that all damage is assessed, repaired if necessary and its cause rectified so it does not reoccur. See figure 1 below, which shows the front side inspection locations (aft side not shown).
