Airworthiness Directives for Beechcraft forward elevator cable

The following Airworthiness Directives for the Beechcraft forward elevator cable inspection and replacement are being issued by CASA today and will be published shortly (this afternoon).

The ADs are identical and are repeated to cover the different series that are affected.

The ADs essentially require immediate inspection of the forward elevator cable assembly, but allow for cables that have been inspected/replaced within the last year and also allow a positioning flight for the inspection.

Replacement of cables that have been over 15 years in service is required within 60 days.
