This AD requires owners/operators of specific Beechcraft A36 and B36TC aircraft (listed by serial number) to inspect the firewall sealant following Raytheon Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 53‑3375, within 50 flight hours after 28 December 2000. It was issued after the FAA reported missing firewall sealant discovered in production.

Owners/operators pay for inspections and any repairs; CASA enforces the deadline. The directive incorporates an external service bulletin and an FAA AD reference, so operators must obtain and follow those documents.
