What was found

BEECHCRAFT SHOP MANUAL P/N 35-590096B REVISED 3-22-96, PAGES 2-6, FIG 2-5, INDEX 12. GAUGE .032 INCH CALLS FOR A 2024-0 SKIN-FUSELAGE WHICH INDICATES A DEAD SOFT SKIN. AFTER A CONVERSATION WITH RAYTHEON BEECH TECH REP, HE REVIEWED THE PRINTS AND INDICATED THIS SKIN TO BE A 2024-T3 SKIN. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE IN THE FIELD TO INSTALL AN INCORRECT TEMPERED SKIN ON A FUSELAGE. RECOMMEND THE MANUFACTURER FURNISH SUPPORTING DATA FROM PRINTS WHEN INFORMATION IS NEEDED TO PERFORM REPAIRS.
