Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of Beechcraft 50 series aeroplanes to inspect the emergency engine shutdown placard and replace any defaced or missing decal with a durable placard bearing the prescribed wording (letters at least 3 mm high), mounted on the overhead or instrument panel. It’s a time‑bound, small one‑off inspection/fabrication cost intended to ensure legible emergency procedures for flight crews.
