Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This directive requires all Beechcraft 50 (Twin Bonanza) aeroplanes to be retrofitted with powerplant fire‑detection and extinguishing systems to the ANO Part 101.4(6.14) standard by 1 January 1980. Owners/operators must arrange and pay for the installations. Compliance improves onboard fire protection but may still fall short of FAA AD 78‑11‑01, so additional work could be needed for US registration.
