It directs operators to follow the technical procedures in Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 0170-131.\n\n**Who it affects:** Owners and operators of all models of Beechcraft 65 and 70 series aeroplanes (Queen Air aircraft).\n\n**What you must do:**\n- **Inspect:** Check the lower rudder hinge assembly for defects or wear.\n- **When:** Complete the inspection within 100 hours of \"time in service\" (meaning 100 hours of flight time with the engine running) after 6 June 1969.\n- **How:** Follow the specific steps in Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 0170-131.\n\n**Why it matters:** The rudder hinge is a critical part of the aircraft's steering system. This inspection prevents mechanical failure that could lead to loss of control during flight."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-10-amdt-1-lower-rudder-hinge-assembly-inspection","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-10-amdt-1-lower-rudder-hinge-assembly-inspection/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-10-amdt-1-lower-rudder-hinge-assembly-inspection/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-10-amdt-1-lower-rudder-hinge-assembly-inspection/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-10-amdt-1-lower-rudder-hinge-assembly-inspection/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-10-amdt-1-lower-rudder-hinge-assembly-inspection/documents"}}
