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 65/44.

Beechcraft 65 and 70 (Queen Air) Series Aeroplanes

AD/BEECH 65/44 Flap Gearbox - Inspection of Gears 7/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 3 July 2008.

Background:

This AD was raised against manufacturer’s mandatory Service Instruction (SI)
0689-160.  This SI required inspection, and necessary rework, of the outboard flap drive gear in the flap gearbox assembly for proper material and/or possible excessive wear that could cause the outboard flaps to be inoperative.

As this was a one time inspection to be completed within 100 hours TIS after
31 January 1975, the AD is no longer required.
