To be accomplished as indicated below.
It has been found that on some of these airplanes throttle housing slippage has occurred at the point where the cable housing is swaged to the ferrule at the instrument panel end. This slippage can result in erratic throttle operation. An inspection of these controls for evidence of housing slippage must be made not later than March 5, 1951. Any control showing evidence of slippage shall be replaced immediately.
It has been found that housing slippage may be caused by the inner shaft in the control head striking the end of the housing when the throttle is moved to the full open position. To prevent such occurrence, a special stop nut must be installed on the throttle shaft in place of the existing jam nut. This special nut, which will prevent the inner shaft from striking the end of the housing, is being furnished by the Ryan Co. and must be installed by July 15, 1951.

2003-03-18:
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Beech Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes. This AD requires you to perform control column sweep and stop bolt inspections to verify full elevator travel to the primary up and down stops and that the stop bolt length is not excessive, re-rig the elevator control system if the airplane does not pass the control column sweep and stop inspections, and do a more detailed inspection at a later time if the airplane does pass the inspection. This AD also requires you to report the results of certain inspections. This AD is the result of recent ground testing and a review of the rigging procedures of a Raytheon Beech Model 1900D airplane, which reveals that the elevator control system could be mis-rigged to restrict elevator travel if current maintenance procedures are not properly followed. In these instances, it may appear to the crew that they have full elevator control column movement. However, the elevator may not have full travel. Such restricted travel may remain undetected until the airplane is operated in a loading condition that requires full elevator authority to control the pitch. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct any mis-rigged elevator control system, which could lead to insufficient elevator control authority and loss of control of the airplane.
