SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Raytheon (Beech) Model 400, 400A, and
400T series airplanes; and Raytheon
(Mitsubishi) Model MU–300 airplanes.
This AD requires revising the airplane
flight manual to modify the Operating
Limitations, Abnormal Procedures, and
Normal Procedures, as applicable, for
flight in icing conditions. This AD
results from multiple reports of highaltitude, dual-engine flameouts on
airplanes operating in certain
meteorological conditions. We are
issuing this AD to advise the flightcrew
that the buildup of ice on certain
internal areas of the engine could result
in a dual-engine flameout and what
action they must take to avoid this
hazard.
This AD becomes effective
October 25, 2006.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
