Note 1   A magnetic particle inspection is required under the Beechcraft Shop Manual, as described in the AD, that are adopted by reference by Requirement 2 of the AD.
Note 2   The cadmium plating of a wing bolt may display areas that appear rubbed, discoloured, or polished. These areas are usually the result of prevailing installation procedures and are of no significance. A wing bolt should not be rejected because of cadmium plating deterioration.
       (c) the increase of the compliance time for Requirement 3 in the AD from 15 years to 20 years after the first installation of a new zero-time wing bolt.
     Note   All other requirements and compliance times stated in the AD remain unchanged.
