Think of it like a compulsory recall notice, but for aircraft.\n\n**What it does:** It requires owners and operators of specific Beechcraft 200 (Super King Air) aeroplanes to inspect and fix a problem with the **strobe light bonding straps** — these are electrical grounding connections that prevent dangerous static electricity buildup on the aircraft's exterior strobe lights.\n\n**Who it affects:** Only specific Beechcraft 200 aircraft with serial numbers BB-1 through BB-14, BB-16 through BB-21, and BB-29 that have Grimes strobe light assemblies (part numbers 30-0467-1 or 30-0467-3).\n\n**What must be done:** Operators must follow the instructions in **Beechcraft Service Information No. 0655-362, Revision 1** — a technical bulletin from the manufacturer detailing the required inspection or repair.\n\n**When it must be done:** Within 100 hours of flying time after 31 January 1975.\n\n**Why it matters:** Faulty bonding straps can cause electrical arcing or interference, potentially creating a fire hazard or affecting critical aircraft systems.
