Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What it does: This directive mandates a safety inspection for specific Beechcraft aircraft to prevent electrical failures.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Beechcraft Queen Air Model 65 and Model 70 series aeroplanes.

What must be done:

Inspect the electrical wiring bundle (called a "loom") located in the left (port) inner wing for damage caused by rubbing (chafing) where it passes a specific metal support bracket (stiffener part number 50-120006-6).
Secure the wiring to prevent future rubbing against the aircraft structure.

Deadline: The work must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 28 February 1973.

Why it matters: Chafing can damage electrical insulation, potentially causing short circuits, electrical system failures, or fire hazards. The amendment updates the original directive to include Model 70 aircraft, ensuring both variants meet the same safety standard.
