Beech TITLE: FUEL - MODIFICATION OF THE ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP SYSTEM 1. Planning Information A. Effectivity (1) Airplanes Beechcraft Bonanza Model A36, Serials E-1946, E-2104, and E-2111 through E-3144; Beechcraft Baron Model 58, Serials TH-1472 through TH-1475, TH-1477 through TH-1486, TH- 1488, TH-1490 through TH-1497, and TH-1499 through TH-1840. If you are no longer in possession of the airplane, please forward this information to the present owner. (2) Spares B. Reason This Service Bulletin is being issued to replace the altitude compensating fuel pump with a standard engine driven fuel pump permitting the pilot to control mixture. C. Description Remove the existing altitude compensating fuel pump(s), replace with the new standard engine driven fuel pump(s) and either replace the fuel flow indicator(s) and install a placard, or retain the existing fuel flow indicator(s) and install two placards in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions section of this Service Bulletin. The new standard engine driven fuel pumps must be changed on both engines of the Baron Model 58. The pumps are not to be intermixed. Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) issues Service Information for the benefit of owners and fixed base operators in the form of two classes of Service Bulletins. The first class, Mandatory Service Bulletins (red border) includes changes, inspections and modifications that could affect safety or crashworthiness. RAC also issues Service Bulletins with no red border which are designated as either recommended or optional in the compliance section within the bulletin. In the case of recommended Service Bulletins, RAC feels the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections will benefit the owner/operator and although highly recommended, Recommended Service Bulletins are not considered mandatory at the time of issuance. In the case of Optional Service Bulletins, compliance with the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections is at the owner/operator s discretion. Both classes are mailed to: (a) RAC Authorized Service Centers. (b) Owners of record on the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch List and the RAC International Owner Notification/Registration Service List. (c) Those having a publications subscription. Information on Owner Notification Service or subscription can be obtained through any RAC Authorized Service Center. As Mandatory Service Bulletins and Service Bulletins are issued, temporary notification in the Service Bulletin Master Index should be made until the index is revised. Warranty will be allowed only when specifically defined in the Service Bulletin and in accordance with the RAC Warranty Policy. Unless otherwise designated, RAC Mandatory Service Bulletins, Service Bulletins and RAC Kits are approved for installation on RAC airplanes in original or RAC modified configurations only. RAC Mandatory Service Bulletins, Service Bulletins and Kits may not be compatible with airplanes modified by STC installations or modifications other than RAC approved kits. 1 of 6
