PS The P337 is limited to 20,000 ft. Out of safety I presume since it should be capable of 30,000 as is the T337. My guess is that they didn't want 337 pilots of pressurized aircraft to have to...

yes it is simple...leave it uninsured as I do. To pay so much on a hull that is of such low value does not make a lot of sense. I really have no idea why the insurance companies hate the...

P337 Seating

I would dearly love to change the rear seating in my 73 P337. That is to put the center 2 seats in the back, then have the single rear seat in the middle on the pilots side. That would make access...

comm antennas

For my 73 P337 I am putting in an audio panel and 430 nav-comm-gps and given that my old radios didn't sound so good I wanted new coax and possibly antennas. What we found was that Cessna had...

P337 Question

Today on a flight from KHMT to KSGU, I was setting the mixture on the rear engine at 13,500 MSL. Maybe a bit too far, but I got a burp from the motor, then a short puff of exhaust gas in the cabin. ...

Amsafe Airbag Harness

I need to replace my seat belts in N84E, a 73 P337, and ordered retractible harnesses from Alpha Aviation in Minnesota. They did not ask the right questions and sent me belts that use a bolt to tie...

Please don't make the same mistake I did--assuming a general number. THe zero thrust rpm varies greatly with altitude.

In my case I was trying to quantify the degradation on rate of climb caused by...

It seems that Aviation consumer perpetuates the story line that the 337s are maintenance hogs. Indeed there are a few idiosyncratic items that do require different levels than a conventional twin...

That is a very broad question and I wouldn't be able to give a broad answer, other than to say that it still seems to be a buyer's market. I went through a buy process in February and ended up with...

Almost the true story on single engine gear up

Went out today, determined to test the engine out rate of climb during gear retraction. I pretty much answered my question but don't have good data to report. Got up to 10,000 in about 5 minutes,...

Dear Roger,

Please note that N84E is a P337 and should have no problem getting from 10,000 msl to 10,500 with rear engine out. If it does I have bought the wrong airplane. My guess is that with...

Gonna Test It Myself

OK guys, it seems I'll have to do it myself! Tomorrow I will give it the big test and report back as soon as I safely land. I'll go up to 10,000 msl with gear down, retard the rear engine to zero...

I screwed up and inadvertently ordered an extra CD of the Parts List for P337s, years 1973-76. This is a factory original in PDF format. First one to give me an address will get it sent free.

I don't know about the NA 337 but the POH on my 1973 P337 has the zero thrust settings detailed in the emergency procedures section, I guess so we can practice engine out procedures.

They vary with...

Dear Herb,

Could you possibly send me a photo of yours, or a drawing so I at least know which one is which. Mine is a 73 P337, are there differences in model years?

Circuit Breaker ID

N84E (73 P337) is in real nice shape yet the CB panel markings are mostly unreadable. So much so that I really can't identify any of them. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to remark them, get a...

My 73 P337 has electro hydraulic power pac and which is not driven by any one engine, and seems to be much faster than the older models. If there was "no change" in SOP then there would seem to be...

Dear Ernie,

Just so I fully understand (given the model year differences) my 73 P337 with 128 gal capacity, should be the same as your 73 in fuel tankage. That is, if I can see fuel below the fuel...
