SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
This Amendment results from a review of airframe ADs for the Beech heavy twin engine models. The SIRM reference has been updated to the current revision status, and references to specific SIRM chapter and figure numbers have been added to correctly identify the intended corrosion inspection requirement. The inspections are ongoing but no additional work is required over and above the previous issue.
