Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive applies to owners and operators of Beechcraft Baron twin-engine aircraft (models 55, 58, and 95-55 series).

What it requires: You must inspect and maintain the sponge-filled fuel reservoir tanks according to Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulletin No. 2109:

Complete the first inspection within 25 hours of flight time after 31 July 1985
Continue inspections as scheduled in the Service Bulletin

Why it matters: This update changes the technical reference to a newer document that specifies improved foam inserts for fuel tanks. These inserts help prevent fuel starvation issues in flight.

Who is affected: Anyone operating or maintaining the specified Beechcraft models must ensure compliance through their licensed aircraft maintenance engineer.
