Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: An Airworthiness Directive (AD) — a mandatory safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requiring aircraft owners to fix a specific mechanical defect.

Who it affects: Owners of specific Beechcraft Baron aeroplanes (models 58P and 58PA with serial numbers TJ-2 through TJ-122).

What must be done: Inspect or replace the engine firewall elbow fitting (a pipe connector in the engine compartment wall) following the exact instructions in Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 0966.

Deadline: Complete the work within 100 hours of flight time after 30 April 1978.

Why it matters: This prevents potential failure of the fitting that could compromise engine compartment integrity and flight safety. Flying without completing this directive renders the aircraft unairworthy and illegal to operate.
