Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive orders mandatory safety maintenance on specific Beechcraft Queen Air aircraft. Who it affects: Owners and operators of Beechcraft Models A65-8200, 65-B80, 65-88 (with serial numbers LC-295 and later, LD-385 and later, or LP-47 and later), and Model 70 (serial number LB-1 and later).

What you must do: Inspect or replace the engine mount bolt nuts according to Beechcraft Service Instruction No 0396-241. This must be completed within 25 hours of flight time after 21 August 1970.

Why it matters: Faulty engine mount bolts could cause the engine to separate from the aircraft wing during flight, with catastrophic consequences. Note on this version: Amendment 1 simply groups the Queen Air 65 and 70 series models together under one directive for administrative clarity—it doesn't change the actual safety requirement.
