Use of this specification by all manufacturers will provide the pilot the same type data in the same place in all of the handbooks. In recent years, BEECHCRAFT handbooks contained most of the data now provided, however, the new handbooks contain more detailed data and some entirely new data. For example, attention is called to Section X SAFETY IN- FORMATION. BEECHCRAFT feels it is highly important to have SAFETY INFORMATION in a condensed form in the hands of the pilots. The SAFETY INFORMATION should be read and studied. Periodic review will serve as a reminder of good piloting techniques. WARNING Use only genuine BEECHCRAFT or BEECH- CRAFT approved parts obtained from BEECH- CRAFT approved sources, in connection with the maintenance and repair of Beech airplanes. Genuine BEECHCRAFT parts are produced and inspected under rigorous procedures to ensure airworthiness and suitability for use in Beech airplane applications. Parts purchased from sources other than BEECHCRAFT, even though January 1983 13 Baron 58 (TH-1 thru TH-772) Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual outwardly identical in appearance, may not have had the required tests and inspections performed, may be different in fabrication tech- niques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an airplane. Salvaged airplane parts, reworked parts ob- tained from non-BEECHCRAFT approved sources, or parts, components, or structural assemblies, the service history of which is unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been subjected to unacceptable stresses or temperatures or have other hidden damage, not discernible through routine visual or usual nondestructive testing techniques. This may render the part, component or structural assem- bly, even though originally manufactured by BEECHCRAFT, unsuitable and unsafe for air- plane use. BEECHCRAFT expressly disclaims any respon- sibility for malfunctions, failures, damage or injury caused by use non-BEECHCRAFT ap- proved parts. b January 1983 1 Baron 58 (TH-1 thru TH-772) Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION I SECTION II อ SECTION II SECTION IV ..
