Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is a mandatory safety order requiring specific maintenance on certain Beechcraft Baron aircraft to fix potential problems with the fuel vent system.

Who is affected Owners and operators of Beechcraft Model 58 aircraft with serial numbers TH-1 through TH-340.

What you must do Carry out the maintenance actions specified in Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 0568-281, Part II. These steps address the fuel vent system — the parts that let air into fuel tanks to prevent dangerous vacuum formation during flight.

Deadline Complete the work within 100 hours of flight time (measured as "time in service") after 31 July 1973.

Why this matters The directive addresses defects that could cause fuel leaks, system blockages, or fire hazards. Compliance is legally required to keep these aircraft airworthy and safe to fly.
