AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

On the effective date specified below, and for the reasons set out in the background section, the CASA delegate whose signature appears below revokes Airworthiness Directive AD/BEECH 56/24.

Beechcraft 56TC (Turbo Baron) Series Aeroplanes

AD/BEECH 56/24 Nose Baggage Door Secondary Latch 6/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 5 June 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD issued in 1982 against Beechcraft Service Instruction (SI) No.1195, required installation of a secondary latching feature for the hinged nose baggage door after manufacturer reported instances of the nose baggage doors becoming unsafe.

Compliance was within 100 hours TIS after 31 August 1982.

As all affected aircraft would have been modified long ago, this AD is no longer required.
