Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires operators of Beechcraft 65 and 70 Queen Air aircraft to inspect and secure the exhaust augmenter-tube clamps, with special attention to the forward clamp at the rear of the firewall. Use the specified AN4-13A bolts with spacing washers so nuts don’t bottom out, and torque nuts to 50–70 inch‑pounds (absolute max 100).

Compliance is required within 100 flight hours after 30 March 1973. It prevents exhaust leaks that could cause fire or carbon‑monoxide hazards in the cabin.

Applicability: All models Queen Air 65 and 70.

Requirement: Inspect the clamps on the main augmenter tubes for security. Pay particular attention to the forward clamp at the rear of the fire-wall, adequate clearance must be present between the two halves of this clamp when fully tightened.

The recommended torque values for the clamp nuts are 50- 70 in. lbs. with 100 in. lbs. maximum.

Compliance: Within 100 hours’ time in service after 30 March 1973. Background: Amendment 1 consolidates Queen Air series 65 and 70 aircraft.
