Plain English Summary

5/10 complexity

This directive requires operators of Beechcraft Model 65 and 70 series aircraft with certain replacement fuel boost pumps (specific part/date batches) to inspect and modify those pumps within the specified short compliance window, and to replace any leaking pumps before further flight. It affects installed and spare pumps and reiterates that earlier Amendment 2 compliance satisfies this rule. The action prevents in‑flight engine loss from faulty boost pumps.
