Discussion

    On December 27, 2004, FAA issued AD 2005-01-04, Amendment 39-13928 
(70 FR 1169, January 6, 2005), which applies to certain Raytheon 
Aircraft Company 90, 99, 100, 200, and 300 series airplanes. That AD 
requires you to check the airplane maintenance records from January 1, 
1994, up to and including the effective date of that AD, for any MIL-H-
6000B fuel hose replacements on the affected airplanes.
    On January 20, 2005, FAA made corrections to that AD through 
Federal Register publication (70 FR 3871). That AD correction changed 
the model number C90B in the applicability section to C90A.

Need for This Action

    For clarity purposes, FAA is incorporating the original AD 
publication and the correction into one document to help eliminate any 
confusion. Consequently, we are re-issuing the AD in its entirety.
