Since corrosion can weaken these critical control components and potentially cause loss of control, this directive mandates action to prevent accidents.\n\n**When you must comply:** Within 100 hours of flight time after 31 May 1980.\n\n**How to comply:** Follow the procedures in Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 1019 (an official manufacturer bulletin that details the specific inspection and repair steps)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-35-elevator-control-push-rods","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-35-elevator-control-push-rods/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-35-elevator-control-push-rods/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-35-elevator-control-push-rods/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-35-elevator-control-push-rods/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-35-elevator-control-push-rods/documents"}}
