door steward
 

I am thinking about installing a door steward on my skymaster.
Has anyone done that? If so where did you purchase it and how
was it installed?
thanks,

Howard

The door steward that I am familiar with is not STC'd for 337

Cessna aircraft models: 170, 172, 175, 177, 180, 182, 185, 205, 206, 207, and unpressurized 210.

Thanks Herb.
I was just wondering my door keeps coming closed all the time.
Not really a problem just a pain.

Door steward on C337
 

Howard,
Someone out there has installed one on a Cessna 337 - I remember seeing some pictures online (I think the aircraft was for sale - may be in the threads somewhere). I imagine this could be installed under a Form 337 Major Alteration - can't see the door structure being much different from a 206 or 210. I have been thinking of putting one on too - it is just buried under the list of "must do's" that I have on the go.

The original mechanism works pretty good but most of the parts are worn out if it doesn't stay open for you. This design allowed the door to stop and stay put at about 80% open and then the next cog opened the door beyond 90 degrees and held it there. Not sure about parts or repair but might be worth a look. Mine still works.....

If you are have trouble making your cabin door stay open, the problem is usually the parts are worn out. we have all new parts for replacement; arm 1411206-2, spacers 1411206-1, screws & nuts, upper bracket 1411206-4, lower bracket 1411206-5, springs 1411207-1 & 1411207-2.

Here is a picture of a door steward on a C337 that is for sale on TAP. Registration is on the site...wonder if we could find the 337 for installation...

I did get a door steward installed on my skymaster waiting for the installation to be approved. I will have pic soon.

Thanks Howard - look forward to any information you can share. I am very interested to install one in my C337A.

I purchased the door steward at MTN View Aviation. They were very helpful and they also had previous 337 forms that had been approved. My mechanic did a good job with the installation and it works excellent. Mine has now been approved.

How long did it take from submittal of the 337 until approval?

Andrew,

Not sure exactly but I think it was 7 to 10 days.
