## Discrepancy

WHEN INSPECTING LANDING GEAR A-FRAMES PER AD 91-14-14 AND BEECH SB 2361, THE RIGHT AND LEFT A-FRAMES WERE REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT FOR FURTHER INSPECTION.  A MAGNAFLUX INSPECTION OF THESE PARTS WAS PERFORMED AND THE A-FRAMES WERE FOUND CRACKED.  THE MAGNAFLUX INSPECTION IS NOT CALLED OUT FOR IN SB 2361, BUT THE CRACKS THAT WERE FOUND DID NOT SHOW UP WITH THE DYE PENETRANT INSPECTION AS REQUIRED BY SB 2361.  RECOMMEND REPLACING THE OLD STYLE A-FRAMES WITH THE NEW STYLE A-FRAMES LISTED IN SB 2361 REV 111.
