Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for specific Beechcraft Baron aircraft.

Who it affects:

Owners and operators of specific pressurized and turbocharged Beechcraft Baron models:
- Models 58P and 58PA with serial numbers TJ-114 and TJ-116 through TJ-160
- Models 58TC and 58TCA with serial numbers TK-54 through TK-79

What it requires:

Carry out maintenance on the fuel drain lines (the pipes that allow fuel to be drained from the tanks for inspection or in emergencies) following the manufacturer's instructions (Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 1006)
Complete the work within 100 hours of flight time after 30 November 1978

Why it matters: Faulty fuel drain lines can cause dangerous fuel leaks, leading to fire hazards or engine failure. This directive ensures these critical components are inspected and fixed to maintain airworthiness.
