True. But in order to put the Skymaster on a Pt 135 Certificate requires a "Conformity Inspection" by the FAA. In order to comply with a conformity inspection all SB's must be complied with.

There is no lawsuit to be had in this. What's your argument? Cessna is placing safety concerns on 30+ year old aircraft?

Cessna is well aware of what they are doing, just go back and review the 400...

Herb, you are naive. Cessna never envisioned these airplanes to be flying 30+ years later and carrying the liability of the manufacturer with them. Also old airplanes take away from the sale of new...

This appears that you really don't trust the owner of the shop. If this is the case take your plane elsewhere for the next repair.

As far as the work performed, I don't see a problem with the time billed out for what you described.

Hey Herb,

I've been reading your signature line and as a helicopter pilot myself find it rather ridiculous.

Yes you can delineate it. Separate by O-2, 336 and civilian 337. It's not a matter of "exclusion" but rather model. And it's a known fact the O-2's lived a harder life and also had wing hard points.

First of all if you are going to try to install this in a certified airplane you will need a FAA Field Approval. Good Luck on getting that.
