3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of all Beechcraft 50 (Twin Bonanza) aeroplanes to inspect the outboard wing main spar for cracks and corrosion in accordance with the Beechcraft Structural Inspection and Repair Manual 98‑39006B3 (Requirement). The first inspection must occur before the aeroplane exceeds five years from its manufacture date and then at intervals not exceeding one year (Compliance).

Amdt 3

Wing Front Spar 11/2000

Applicability: All models.

Requirement: Action in accordance with “Outboard Wing Main Spar Crack and Corrosion Inspection” in the Beechcraft Structural Inspection and Repair Manual 98-39006B3 as revised 28 May 1999, Chapter 57-10-00 Figure 208.

Compliance: Prior to exceeding 5 years from date of manufacture, and thereafter at intervals not exceeding 1 year.

Note: Aircraft already inspected in accordance with previous issues of this Directive, satisfy the initial inspection requirement of this issue.

This Amendment becomes effective on 2 November 2000.

Background: The original AD was issued in October 1973 and required inspection for corrosion in accordance with Beechcraft SI 0514-035. Amendment 1, issued in June 1973, reflected Revision 1 to the SI. Amendment 2 was raised in August 1990 to incorporate the use of the inspection method outlined in the Beechcraft Structural Inspection and Repair Manual, which supersedes Beechcraft SI 0514-035.

This Amendment results from a review of airframe ADs for the Beech heavy twin engine models, and updates the SIRM reference to reflect the current revision status. The inspections are ongoing but no additional work is required over and above the previous issue.
