This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of Beechcraft Model 58 (serial TH‑1 onward) to inspect the fuel crossfeed line in the left wheel well for chafing from main tyre contact and to verify clearance when the gear is retracted; recommended to check fuel lines in both wheel wells whenever fitting a new main tyre. Compliance is mandatory within 100 hours after 30 September 1976 to prevent tyre‑induced fuel leaks and risk of fire or explosion.
