Unsafe Condition
Failure of the fasteners securing the stabilator hinge assemblies and subsequent loss of pitch control.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Visually inspect the fasteners securing the stabilator hinge assemblies for looseness or failure in accordance with Beech Service Bulletin No. 2182. If any fasteners are loose or failed, replace all fasteners securing both right and left hinge assemblies to the fuselage prior to further flight. An equivalent method of compliance may be used if approved by the FAA.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Compliance Time
Prior to further flight on all airplanes and each 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) thereafter for normal and utility category airplanes, and each 25 hours TIS thereafter for acrobatic category airplanes, unless already accomplished.
