AD/BEECH 23/25 - Main Landing Gear Supports - CANCELLED

What this does This document officially cancels a 34-year-old aircraft safety rule affecting specific Beechcraft planes.

The old rule In 1974, authorities required owners of Beechcraft Model 19, 23, and 24 series aircraft (including Musketeer and Sundowner variants) to inspect the bolts on their main landing gear supports. The concern was that "Jo-bolts" (specialized fasteners attaching the gear supports) could loosen, potentially causing landing gear failure.

Why it is being cancelled Every affected aircraft has now completed the required inspection. Because the safety issue has been addressed across the entire fleet, the mandatory inspection rule is no longer necessary.

Who it affects Owners and operators of the specified Beechcraft models. In practice, no immediate action is required—this simply removes an outdated compliance obligation from maintenance records.
