What to do
Owners, operators, and maintenance personnel should verify that the aft left and right side ledge divider light assemblies on affected Cessna Model 560XL, 650, and 750 airplanes have the correct Cessna part number 301 bulbs installed as per the respective Cessna Service Bulletins SB750-33-16, SB650-33-23, and SB560XL-33-02.

Summary
The Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin SAIB CE-10-29R1 is an FAA informational bulletin addressing an airworthiness concern related to the aft left and right side ledge divider lights on Cessna Model 560XL, 650, and 750 airplanes. It informs owners, operators, and maintenance personnel about the potential hazard caused by the installation of higher wattage bulbs than recommended in these aircraft models.
What changed
SAIB CE-10-29R1 revises the original SAIB CE-10-29 by adding the Cessna Model 650 airplane to the list of affected aircraft and including service bulletin information specific to the Model 650. It also clarifies the recommendation to replace higher wattage bulbs with the correct lower wattage bulbs in the affected light assemblies.
Why it matters
This bulletin is important for aviation professionals because installing incorrect higher wattage bulbs in the aft side ledge divider lights can cause overheating and potential fire hazards, as evidenced by a reported incident involving a burning smell and singed cabin materials. Ensuring compliance helps maintain aircraft safety and prevents in-flight incidents related to interior lighting components.
