From Model Communiqué # KA-2015-01
issued in March 2015:
ATA 27 − Lower Rudder Attach Bolt Bent
F-90; 200 Series; 300 Series, B300 Series
Beechcraft has received a few reports of a bent attachment bolt at the rudder horn assembly (P/N 101-524059-1) and the lower rudder hinge (P/N 101-524063-1). The part number of this bolt is AN175-20A. This condition was found after inspection of airplanes that had been subject to jet blast while parked or left out in heavy winds without the rudder (control or gust) lock assembly installed. The reports noted a “squeaking” sound when moving the rudder from stop to stop during inspection.
Unfortunately, this bolt is not visible when the rudder is removed, so extra effort is required to gain access to the bolt. Bolt inspection is recommended any time the rudder is removed.
