Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

CASA 08/24 temporarily permits certain privately operated Beechcraft aircraft subject to Airworthiness Directive AD/BEECH 33/41 Amdt 4 to meet that AD by alternate means: a short extension of an imminent inspection deadline, a detailed visual inspection (10× magnifier) in place of magnetic particle testing, and an increase in the replacement interval for new zero‑time wing bolts from 15 to 20 years. It applies only to private operations, starts the day after registration, and expires on 28 February 2025 or when the AD is revoked.

(a) for an inspection due on or before 12 March 2024 under Requirement 2 in the AD, completion of the inspection by not later than 12 April 2024;

(b) instead of the magnetic particle inspection required under Requirement 2 of the AD, removal of the wing bolts and performance of a detailed visual inspection of each wing bolt using a 10-power or stronger magnifying glass for corrosion, cracks, and mechanical damage and replacement of any wing bolt that is corroded, cracked or has mechanical damage;
