rectified before flight. Further, owners should take their air-
planes to mechanics who have access to current technical
publications and prior experience in properly maintaining
that make and model of airplane. The owner should make
certain that eontroi cable tension inspections are performad
as outlined in the applicable Beech lnspection Guide. Worn
eontroi surface attachmant hardware must be replaced. Any
repainting or repair of a moveable eontroi surface will
require a verification of the eontroi surface balance before
the airplane ls returned to service. Gontroi surface drain
holes must be open to prevent freezing of accumulated
moisture, which could create an increased trailing-edge-
heavy eontroi surface and flutter.
Ił an excessive vibration, particularly in the eontroi column
and rudder pedals, is encountered in flight, this may be the
onset of fiutter and the procedura to follow is:
1. IMMEDIATELLY REDUCE AIRSPEED (lower the Iand-
ing gear if necessary).
2. RESTRAIN THE CONTROLS OF THE AIRPLANE
UNTIL THE VISRATlON CEASES.
3. FLY AT THE REDUCED AIRSPEED AND LAND AT
THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT.
4. HAVE THE AIRPLANE INSPECTED FOR AIRFRAME
DAMAGE, CONTROL SURFACE ADACHING HARD-
WARE CONDITION/SECURITY, TRIM TAB FREE
PLAY, PROPER CONTROL GABLE TENSION, AND
CONTROL SURFACE BALANCE BY ANOTHER
MECHANIC WHO IS FULLY QUALIFIED.
