AD 2000-22-18 65 FR 75607

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Beech Model 58 airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect the rudder bellcrank interconnect tube for damage; replace or refinish the interconnect tube, if necessary; and modify the floorboard. Four reports of damage to the interconnect tube prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to correct the wrong use of screws and consequent wear in the pilot/copilot pedal interconnect tube, which could result in loss of rudder control.
