FAA AD For Bonanzas: Failing Control Cables

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD 2019-21-08) for a wide variety of Beech Bonanza and Debonair models to address field reports of cracked and fractured right aileron flight control cable end fittings.  The range of models includes the E33, E33A, E33C, F33, G33, 35–C33, 35–C33A, K35, M35, N35, P35, S35, V35,

V35A, 36, and certain models of the F33A, F33C, V35B and A36 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the right aileron flight control cable end fittings (terminal attachment fittings) and replacing any damaged cable assembly.
