COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

 Beechcraft 65 and 70 (Queen Air) Series Aeroplanes

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

 For the reasons set out in the background section, the CASA delegate whose signature appears below revokes Airworthiness Directive (AD) AD/BEECH 65/34 Amdt 4 and issues the following AD under subregulation 39.1 (1) of CAR 1998. The AD requires that the action set out in the requirement section (being action that the delegate considers necessary to correct the unsafe condition) be taken in relation to the aircraft or aeronautical product mentioned in the applicability section: (a) in the circumstances mentioned in the requirement section; and (b) in accordance with the instructions set out in the requirement section; and (c) at the time mentioned in the compliance section.

AD/BEECH 65/34
 Amdt 5

 Applicability: All models.

        Upper and Lower Outboard Wing Front Spar Caps

 11/2000

            Requirement: Action in accordance with "Outboard Wing Main Spar Crack and Corrosion Inspection" in the Beechcraft Structural Inspection and Repair Manual 98-39006B3 as revised 28 May 1999, Chapter 57-11-00, Figure 208.

            Compliance: Prior to exceeding 5 years from the date of manufacture, and thereafter at intervals not exceeding 1 year.

            Note: Aircraft already inspected in accordance with the preceding issue of this Directive satisfy the initial inspection requirement of this issue.

            This Amendment becomes effective on 2 November 2000.

            Background: The original AD addressed corrosion and related cracking in the upper and lower main spar caps and was based on Beechcraft SI 0514-035. Amendment 1 resulted from Revision 1 to the SI. Amendment 2 consolidated the Beech 65 and 70 series ADs. Amendment 3 incorporated the use of the inspection method outlined in the Beechcraft Structural Inspection and Repair Manual, which superseded the SI. Amendment 4 clarified the Requirement as a corrosion inspection.

            This Amendment results from a review of airframe ADs for the Beech heavy twin engine models, and updates the SIRM reference to the current issue.

            Amendment 4 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 1 November 1990. Amendment 3 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 7 July 1990
