The time periods for inspections noted in this manual are based on average usage and average environmental con-
ditions.
NOTE
The recommended periods do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the period without mal-
function as the a forementioned factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
Prior to performing maintenance on an engine or the airframe, ALWAYS pull the starter con-
trol circuit breakers and the Landing Gear circuit breaker. This will kill power to the starter
control and Landing Gear Control relay.
Airplanes operated for Air Taxi, or other than normal operations, and airplanes operated in humid tropics, or cold
and damp climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion and/or lack of lubrication. In these
areas, periodic inspections should be performed until the operator can set his own inspection periods based on ex-
perience.
NOTE
The date noted on the “STANDARD AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE”, FAA Form No. 8100-2,
which is issued with each new airplane, is to be used as the basis for all TBO or replacement com-
ponents listed in the following schedule.
An engine cycle is defined as the period of time from the initial start to shutdown of the engine. This
encompasses start-up, increase to full or partial power (as required during a flight regime) and back
to complete engine shutdown. Normal operation results in the number of landings being equivalent
to engine cycles.
NOTE
All items not listed are to be overhauled or replaced “On Condition”. “On Condition” items are to be
overhauled or replaced if inspection reveals a potentially unsafe or unserviceable condition, if they
are worn, inoperative, inaccurate, intermittent and not repairable through normal maintenance. Pri-
marily items that are calender, cycle or hour limited are included in the following list.

NOTE
The required periods do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the period without malfunc-
tion as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
This inspection program in accordance with 14 CFR Parts 43 and 91 consist of, but is not limited
to, inspection items listed in the Inspection Guide, any applicable Airworthiness Directives issued
against the airframe or any equipment installed therein and conformity to Type Certificate Data
Sheet as applicable.
Material contained in this guide, including the inspection intervals, may be changed at any time by
the owner/operator, with prior notification and approval of the local FAA General Aviation District
Office, when warranted by service experience or engineering recommendations. Information con-
tained herein is applicable to all Baron 58P and 58TC series airplanes except where differences are
indicated by serial effectivity.
While the inspection guide may be used as an outline, detailed information of the many systems and components
in the airplane will be found in the various sections of this shop manual and the pertinent supplier publications. It is
also recommended that reference be made to the applicable Maintenance Handbooks, Service Instructions, Ray-
theon Aircraft Company Service Bulletins, applicable FAA Regulations and Publications, suppliers bulletins and
specifications for torque values, clearances, settings, tolerances, and other requirements. In the final analysis, it is
the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure the airframe and power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane
has access to previously noted documents as well as to this inspection guide.
NOTE
Any time an airplane is repainted or touched up, inspect all placards and decals to assure they are
not covered with paint, are easily readable, and are securely attached. Replace any placards that
have been inadvertently defaced or removed.
In addition to the inspections prescribed by this schedule, the altimeter system and all ATC tran-
sponders MUST be tested and inspected at 24-month intervals in compliance with the requirements
A complete inspection of the airplane must be accomplished within each 12-month period for compliance with the
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations. The time periods for inspections stated in this inspection guide should NEVER
be exceeded by more than 10 hours, and then only if the additional time is required to reach a place where the in-
spection can be satisfactorily accomplished. However, the additional time used must be deducted from the next in-
spection time. If 10 hours were used to reach the inspection facility, the next inspection would be due in 90 hours
for the next 100-hour inspection with no extension allowed.
NOTE
An airplane must receive a complete 100-hour, annual, or complete continuing care inspection
every 12 months regardless of the hours flown. The inspections completed during a 12-month pe-
riod can be deleted from the items to be inspected. Rubber goods such as fuel lines are recom-
mended to be changed at five year periods regardless of airplane time.
Additional publications are listed in the current Publications Price List CD Rom (P/N 994-32808).
For information on these publications contact the Technical Manual Distribution Center (TMDC) at
1-800-796-2665, fax (316) 676-4824 or E-mail [email protected].
All electrical systems operational inspections are to be made using an external power source ca-
pable of delivering and maintaining 28.25 volts ± 0.25 volts.
Raytheon Aircraft Company issues service information for the benefit of owners and operators in the form of two
classes of Service Bulletins. MANDATORY (Red Border) Service Bulletins are changes, inspections or modifica-
tions that could affect safety. The factory considers compliance with these Service Bulletins mandatory. OPTIONAL
(No Border) Service Bulletins cover changes, modifications, improvements or inspections which may benefit the
owner. Due to the wide range of information covered by the OPTIONAL Service Bulletin, each owner or operator is
responsible for conducting a thorough review of each OPTIONAL Service Bulletin to determine if compliance is re-
quired based on the applicability of the OPTIONAL Service Bulletin to their particular set of operating conditions. It
is the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that all Raytheon Aircraft Company Service Bulletins which
are pertinent to their particular operation are complied with.
During the performance of this inspection the airplane will be placed on three-point jacks.
Ensure the landing gear is down and locked before removing the airplane from the jacks.

SPECIAL INSPECTIONS
PROPELLER DEICER SYSTEM INSPECTION
The various components of the propeller deicer system should be inspected every 50 hours for the appearance of
defects. The following inspection may provide a means of detecting and correcting such defects before they render
the deicer system inoperative.
NOTE
Timers with electronic stepping circuits may not "flick" noticeably between cycles.
Before moving the propeller, make certain that the ignition switch is OFF and that the engine
has cooled completely. There is always some danger of a cylinder firing when a propeller is
moved.
When following the instructions of step "b", move the propeller back and forth to prevent arcing be-
tween the brushes and the slip ring.
b. With the engine shut down, turn the deicer switch ON and feel the deicer boots on the propeller for the proper
sequence of the heating elements. The presence of local hot spots indicates damage to the heating elements, which
should be repaired before more serious damage develops.
c. Remove the spinner dome and open all access doors pertaining to the wiring and components of the deicer
system. Turn the deicer switch ON and station an assistant in the pilot’s compartment to observe the system am-
meter. Flex all accessible wiring, particularly the lead straps, leads from the slip ring assembly, and the firewall elec-
trical connectors and their wiring. Any movement of the ammeter, other than the cycling flicker that may occur when
the step switch of the timer cycles, indicates a short or open circuit that must be located and corrected.
d. To extend the life of the lead strap between the hub clamp and clip, reposition the bend at least 1/2 inch from
the existing location of the bend.
Page 216
Jun 28/02 5-20-00 A25
BEECH BARON 58P AND BARON 58TC MAINTENANCE MANUAL
b. Check all clamps, clips, mountings, electrical connections, and connectors for tightness and electrical sound-
ness. Check also for loose, broken, or missing safety wire.
c. Closely check deicer boots for wrinkles, loose, or torn areas, particularly around the outboard end and at the
point where the strap passes under the hub clamp. Look for abrasions or cuts along the leading edge of the flat or
thrust face. If the heater element wires are exposed in the damaged areas or if the rubber is found to be tacky,
swollen, or deteriorated (as from contact with oil or solvent fluids), replace the boot.
d. Check that the hub clamps are tight. Inspect for cracks or other damage. Check to see that the cushioning ma-
terial is not missing or damaged in the area under the hub clamp or on the edge of the spinner dome. Manually op-
erate the propeller from low pitch to high pitch while checking that the deicer lead straps do not come under tension.
e. Check the slip rings for gouges, roughened surfaces, cracks, burned or discolored areas, and for deposits of oil,
grease, or dirt. Clean greasy or contaminated slip rings with solvent (15, Chart 207, 91-00-00). After such cleaning,
a run-in time of five hours of engine operation must be allowed before the deicer system is turned on.
f. If uneven wear or wobble is detected, check the alignment of the slip rings to the propeller shaft with a dial in-
dicator. While turning the propeller to check the slip ring alignment, push in on the propeller to eliminate play in the
propeller thrust bearing. If the runout over 360 degrees of rotation is over 0.005 inch, or if over any 4 inch arc it ex-
ceeds 0.002 inch, refer to step "h".
g. Examine the brush mounting brackets and housing for cracks, deformation, or other indications of damage.
Check for tight connections and that the leads are not chafed or binding.
h. Check to see that each brush rides on its slip ring over 360 degrees of rotation. If the brush is not properly
aligned, raise or lower the brush block to the proper position. If the brushes ride both high and low with respect to
the slip rings in 360 degrees of rotation, the slip ring is eccentrically mounted and the shaft clamp or slip ring must
be replaced.
i. Check for proper spacing between the brush block and slip rings. If this distance is not within the specified limits,
loosen the mounting screws and reposition them in the elongated holes until the block is properly positioned. If nec-
essary, shims can be added between the thrust bearing plate and mounting bracket until the brush is properly lo-
cated.
j. Estimate the contact angle of the brush block in relation to the slip rings. If this angle is not approximately 2
degrees, loosen the mounting bolts and reposition the brush block until the proper angle exists between the brush
block and slip rings. It should be noted that the spacing established in step "i" must also be maintained after proper
contact angle is obtained.
Before moving the propeller, make certain that the ignition switch is OFF and that the engine
has cooled completely. There is always some danger of a cylinder firing when the propeller
is moved.
While following the instructions of step "k", move the propeller back and forth to prevent arcing be-
tween the brushes and the slip ring.
k. With the deicer system operating and a man in the pilot’s compartment observing the ammeter, visually inspect
b. Disassemble the nose landing gear as instructed in the Baron 58P Beech Manufactured Components Mainte-
nance Manual.
c. Wash all existing corrosion preventive compound and grease from all nose landing gear parts using solvent (20,
Chart 207, 91-00-00). Visually inspect each part for corrosion, especially noting the inside of the nose landing gear
brace barrel and the nose gear brace arm bushings.
NOTE
If the wall thickness of the nose gear brace barrel is less than 0.090 inch, it must be replaced. Refer
to the Baron 58P Beech Manufactured Components Maintenance Manual for the bearing toler-
ances. Any bearings found to be out of tolerance should be replaced.
d. Plug one end of the nose gear brace barrel and pour corrosion preventive compound (43, Chart 207, 91-00-00)
into the barrel. Tilt and rotate the barrel until all of the interior is coated, the pour out the excess compound.
e. Reassemble the nose landing gear as instructed in the Baron 58P Beech Manufactured Components Mainte-
nance Manual.

INSPECTION AFTER HARD LANDING
1. General Appearance This inspection should be carried out after a hard After hard landing
landing and before the airplane is certified as
ready for further flight. The inspections are
conducted at two levels. The first level consists
of determining if any external damage has
occurred and looking for evidence of internal
structural failure. The second level is concerned
with a more detailed inspection of any damage
areas which were indicated in the findings of the
first level inspection. If it is determined by the first
level inspection that there is no damage to the
airplane, it is not necessary to proceed to the
second level inspection.
FIRST LEVEL
Even though "wrinkles" in the wing or fuselage skin surface may be slight enough to
be considered as negligible, a close inspection of the internal supporting structure
may reveal serious damage.
2. Landing Gear Inspect tires for excessive wear, splits in the After hard landing
tread, bottoming out or folding over the side
walls.

3. Fuselage Empennage and Carefully inspect the exterior of the airplane. After lightning strike
Wing Surfaces Evidence of a strike will usually appear as a
burned hole or as a series of burned holes in
metallic surfaces. Plastic parts may be
delaminated and/or deformed due to high
internal pressures. Normally two or more points
will be found, the entry and the exit points.
Antennas are frequently an entry point of
lightning and should be carefully inspected for
evidence of arcing, sooting or pitting.
From point of entry, the strike usually spreads aft
in a series of small holes or burn marks. After
points of entry and exit are found, the structure
between these points should be carefully
inspected. Attention should be given to hinges
and hinge pins for possible pitting. Cables,
pulleys, bearings, bolts and all bonding jumpers
in the area should be inspected for possible
damage. Antennas and electrical and electronic
equipment should be visually checked for
damage and functionally checked for operation.
If the strike was near the fuel vent, all plumbing
should be carefully inspected for damage. Steel
components may exhibit magnetism and require
degaussing so as not to affect compass
systems.
