The airworthiness directive

72-22-04 BEECH: Amendment 39-1546. Applies to Beech Models 60 series (Serial Numbers P-1 thru P-200 and P-210) airplanes which have a moisture barrier at fuselage station 306.421.

To prevent possible interference with elevator movement, accomplish the following:

A) Starting at the cut out for the elevator bell crank, slit the moisture barrier vertically upward utilizing a knife, razor blade or other similar tool. Extend this cut through the Velcro strip which attaches the moisture barrier to the front spar of the horizontal stabilizer.
