INTRODUCTION
The format and contents of this Pilot's Operating Handbook
and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual conform to
GAMA (General Aviation Manufacturers Association)
Handbook Specification Number 1. Use of this specification
by all manufacturers will provide the pilotwith the same type
of data in the same place in all handbooks.
In recent years, BEECHCAAFT handbooks contained tnost
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
INFORMATION). BEECHCAAFT feels that it is highlyI
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 reminderof
good piloting techniques.
WARNING
Use only genuine BEECHCRAFT or BEECHCRAFT
approved parts obtained from BEECHCRAFT approved
sources, in connection with the maintenance and repair of
Beech airplanes.
Genuine BEECHCRAFT parts are produced and inspected
under rigorous procedures to insure airworthiness and
suitability for use
in Beech airplane applications. Parts
purchased from sources other than BEECHCAAFT, even
though outwardly identical
in appearance, may nothave had
the required tests and inspections performed, may be
different in fabrication techniques and materials, and may
be dangerous when installed in an airplane.
June, 1984 a

BEECHCRAFT
SlerraC24R
Salvaged airplane parts, reworked parts obtained from non-
BEECHCRAFT approved sources, or parts, components,or
structural assemblies, the service history of which is
unknown or canoot 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 assembly, even though
originally manufactured by BEECHCRAFT, unsuitable and
unsafe for airplane use.
BEECHCRAFT expressly disclaims any responsibility for
malfunctions,
fa ilures, damage or injury caused by use of
non-BEECHCRAFT approved parts.
