What to look for in the logbooks
A sample Musketeer logbook shows annual and 100-hour inspections, ELT battery changes, and altimeter, static and transponder tests. It records ADs 73-20-07R2 (wing attach bolts), 75-01-04 (fuel selector valve), 76-07-12 R1 (mag switch), 87-02-08 (stabilator hinges) and 89-24-09 (aileron rod ends). It also records service bulletin SB 27-3459 (gust lock).
Propeller corrosion bulletin
Sensenich bulletin R-12A (February 6, 1967) covers fixed-pitch metal propellers with water-soluble mid-blade decals, including models M74DC and M74DM with Beech decals. Remove the decals with paint remover, not by scraping or sanding. Inspect the area with a glass of at least 3 power. Replace the propeller before further flight if there is a crack or pits deeper than .015 inch.
Maintenance history example
The sample logbook records the wing attach bolt AD as a visual check at each annual or 100 hours, with a non-destructive test due at 3067.2 tach hours. The fuel selector valve was replaced with an overhauled valve, which ended the repetitive inspection under that AD. Ask for the same detail on any aircraft you consider.

Safety notes
- Wing attach bolts and brackets are under AD 73-20-07R2. Confirm both the visual inspections and the NDT due point.
- Replace a propeller with a crack or mid-blade corrosion pits deeper than .015 inch before further flight (Sensenich R-12A).
- Water-soluble mid-blade propeller decals must not be reinstalled.
