Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires owners/operators of the listed Beech Model 65 aircraft to make and fit a placard (letters at least 4 mm high) reading "DO NOT OPERATE THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE CABIN DOOR REMOVED" on the instrument panel in the pilot’s clear view, with compliance by 3 November 1995. Certificate of Registration holders pay the small fabrication/installation cost and CASA issues a separate direction under CAR 138(3) to amend the flight manual; the AD follows an accident and an FAA AD.

AD/BEECH 65/66 Cabin Door 13/95 DM

Applicability: Model 65 aircraft with serial numbers L-1, L-2, L-6, LC-1 through LC-239, and LF-7 and LF-8.

Requirement: Fabricate a placard, using letters at least 4mm in height, that consists of the words:

“DO NOT OPERATE THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE CABIN DOOR REMOVED”

Install this placard on the aircraft’s instrument panel within the pilot’s clear view.

A separate direction under CAR 138(3) for incorporation of the applicable flight manual amendment is being provided to Certificate of Registration holders.

Note: FAA AD 95-20-01 R1 refers.

Compliance: Before 3 November 1995.

Background: The Type Certificate Data Sheet for the Beech 65 series aircraft lists several Beech Model aircraft that are eligible for cabin door removal. This listing does not include the Beech Model 65. A recent accident of a Beech Model 65 which was configured for parachute operations, prompted this FAA AD action.
