Airworthiness Directives: Beech Aircraft Corporation 35 Series Airplanes Federal Register ↗
Abstract
This document proposes to provide additional time for the public to comment on a proposal to supersede two airworthiness directives that currently require the following on certain Beech Aircraft Corporation (Beech) 35 series airplanes: Checking the ruddervator static balance and adjusting as appropriate; fabricating and installing airspeed limitation placards; incorporating certain airspeed limitations into the airplane flight manual (AFM); and installing stabilizer reinforcements. Several comments received on the original notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) requested additional time to respond to the proposed action. This proposed action would incorporate and update the procedures and applicability of both AD's into one document. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent structural failure of the V-tail, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
