Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD requires owners/operators of specified Beechcraft Baron models to fit fixed placards on the leading edge of the fuel selector panel that impose operating limits: one (if auxiliary tanks fitted) restricts use of aux tanks and crossfeed to level flight, and another (if not fitted with baffled fuel cells) prohibits certain turning or immediate post–fast‑taxi take‑offs. Compliance (and cost of producing/fitting the placards) falls to owners/operators by the stated deadline.
