All limits, procedures, safety practices. time limits, servicing and maintenance requirements contained in this manual are
considered mandatory.
Authorized BEECHCRAFf Parts and Service Outlets will have recommended modification, service, and operating procedures
issued by both FAA and Beech Aircraft Corporation, designed to get maximum utility and safety from the airplane.
If a queslion should arise concerning the care of the King Air C90, it is important to include the airplane serial number in any
correspondence. The serial number appears on the model designation placard auached to the aft frame of the airstair door.
WARNING
The BEECHCRAFT KinR Air C90 is a pressurized airplane. DrilIinR, modification. or any
type of work which creates a break in the pressure vessel, is considered the responsibility of
the owner or facility performing the work. Obtaining approval of the work is, therefore,
their responsibility.
