airworthiness directive process was conducted for AD/BEECH 55/79 Amdt 5.
             Amendment 5 of this AD allowed for aircraft used in private operations to be visually inspected for corrosion in the exposed areas of the wing attach bolts and wing fitting recess with the inspection interval increased from 5 to 10 years, in lieu of using the manufacturer's maintenance instructions. For all other types of operations, the inspection requirements remained unchanged, requiring inspection of the wing attach hardware and fitting recess per the manufacturer's maintenance data.
             Amendment 6 of this AD is issued following a change to the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) by the Type Certificate holder which included increasing the life limit of the wing attach bolts to 20 years and requiring a removal and detailed visual inspection at the five-year interval. This change is only applicable to the models 55 and 58 series aircraft and not models 58P and 58TC aircraft.
