## The airworthiness directive

58-13-02 BEECH: Applies to Models B50, C50, D50, E50 and F50.

Compliance required as soon as possible but not later than November 15, 1958.

The AN 3158 tail light assembly does not meet the requirements of the Civil Air Regulations for intensity and light pattern. It must be replaced by an assembly meeting those requirements. Beech Kit 50-169 provides an acceptable assembly.

(Beech Service Bulletin 33, 24, 17, 9 and 2 for B50, C50, D50, E50 and F50, issued April 1958, covers this same subject.)
