The airworthiness directive

65-19-02 BEECH: Amdt. 39-125 Part 39 Federal Register August 26, 1965. Applies to Model 23 Airplanes, Serial Numbers M-225 through M-554 except M-344, M-381, M-387, M- 389, and M-390; and Model A23 Airplanes, Serial Numbers M-556 through M-791 except M- 737, M-742, M-763, N-764, M-777, and M-780.

Compliance required within the next 50 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD unless already accomplished.

To prevent failure of the aileron control column links due to insufficient edge distance and resultant loss of aileron control, accomplish the following:

Visually inspect the four links, P/N 169-524040-15, that attach the aileron cable to the chain on the control column for edge distance. Replace each link with edge distance less than 0.16 inch, measured from the center of the attach hole to the edge of the link, with a link with edge distance of 0.16 inch or greater or an FAA-approved equivalent.

(Beech Service Bulletin No. 65-13, dated July1965, covers this same subject.)

This directive effective August 26, 1965.
