Bonding straps are electrical connections that prevent dangerous static electricity buildup and ensure proper grounding.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Owners and operators of specific Beechcraft V35B Bonanza aircraft\n- Only those fitted with specific Grimes strobe light part numbers (30-0467-1 or 30-0467-3)\n\n**What must be done:**\n- Follow the instructions in **Beechcraft Service Information Notice No. 0655-362 Revision 1**\n- Complete the work within **100 hours of flying time** after 31 January 1975\n\n**Why it matters:**\nFaulty bonding straps on strobe lights can cause electrical failures or interference, potentially affecting navigation lights and flight safety.
