I think the B200 is an FAR 25 type certificate? Does anyone know if the type certificate requires demonstration that the aircraft is controllable with full rudder trim?

When the Partenavia that crashed at Essendon in the 1970's and it was found that the aircraft was not controllable at full elevator trim, an emergency AD was issued requiring the elevator trim to be limited. If the B200 is not controllable with full rudder trim, should there be a recommendation from the ATSB about an AD for B200 aircraft to limit rudder trim?
