Summary
If you own a Textron B200GT, B200CGT, B300, or B300C airplane, listen up! The FAA found a problem with the rudder control pushrod rivets that could cause failure, so they’re requiring a quick visual check and fixing any bad rivets. This keeps your plane safe and flying smoothly without breaking the bank or causing long delays.
