It applies to specific **Beechcraft 60 Duke series aeroplanes** (models 60, A60, and B60 with certain serial numbers).\n\n**What it does:**\n- Requires owners/operators to inspect and/or repair a specific structural component: the **lower attachment point where the wing panel connects to the centre section front spar** (the bolt and nut assembly).\n- The work must follow **Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 1100** — a technical document from the manufacturer detailing exactly what needs to be done.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Owners and operators of the affected Beechcraft Duke aircraft (serial numbers P-4 through P-522, with some specific inclusions/exclusions in that range).\n\n**Why it matters:**\n- This is a **mandatory safety requirement**. The structural connection between the wing and the aircraft's centre section is critical to flight safety. If this bolt/nut assembly fails, it could lead to wing separation.\n- \"Amdt 3\" means this is the **third amendment** to the original directive, suggesting the safety requirement has been updated or expanded over time.\n\n**Compliance:**\n- Aircraft operators must complete the required actions according to the manufacturer's service instruction — there's no optional compliance."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-front-spar-lower-attachment-bolt-and-nut","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-front-spar-lower-attachment-bolt-and-nut/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-front-spar-lower-attachment-bolt-and-nut/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-front-spar-lower-attachment-bolt-and-nut/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-front-spar-lower-attachment-bolt-and-nut/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-30-amdt-3-wing-panel-to-centre-section-front-spar-lower-attachment-bolt-and-nut/documents"}}
