Beechcraft 33 Debonair — Airworthiness Directives

This Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) addresses safety concerns related to the landing gear up-lock mechanism in Beechcraft 33 and 35-33 series aircraft. The directive outlines specific requirements to ensure the safe operation of these aircraft by addressing potential failures in the up-lock rollers that could lead to gear-up landings. The AD mandates inspections and replacements of certain components within specified time frames to mitigate risks associated with the landing gear system. Compliance with this directive is crucial for maintaining airworthiness and ensuring pilot and passenger safety.

• The AD applies to Beechcraft 33 and 35-33 series aircraft.
• Inspect up-lock rollers to determine if they are greasible within 100 hours TIS after the effective date.
• Replace any non-greasible up-lock rollers with greasible types.
• Lubricate the up-lock mechanism initially within 100 hours TIS and thereafter at intervals not exceeding 100 hours TIS.
• This AD became effective on 7 June 2007.
