Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: A safety directive (called an Airworthiness Directive) for aircraft owners and maintenance engineers.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Beechcraft 56TC 'Turbo Baron' aeroplanes with serial numbers TG1 through TG69.

What it requires: You must inspect and/or repair the jack pad (a reinforced metal fitting where a hydraulic jack connects to lift the plane) located on the centre section rear spar (a major structural beam running through the middle of the aircraft). The work must follow the exact instructions in Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 0064-067, Revision 1 (a manufacturer-issued technical manual).

When to do it: Within 200 hours of flight time, or before 1 August 1969 — whichever comes first.

Why it matters: Faulty jack pads can crack or fail when the aircraft is lifted for maintenance, potentially dropping the plane and causing catastrophic damage or injury.
