Cessna C337 SID

[cawelsh]

Has there been any discussion at all of factory corrosion proofed aircraft vs. plain? Mine was originally for export, is 100% zinc chromated.

Also, has anyone contemplated a class action lawsuit based on a theory of fraud? Cessna is attempting to effectively decertify our aircraft by these SID actions, and I don't believe they have the underlying facts to justify what they are doing. I would happily throw $1,000 in the pot along with 250 other owners to fund the action.

Thanks,

There is a corrosion program, called CPCP. Regardless of the kind of corrosion your aircraft had from the factory, the SIDs (the CPCP is one of the SIDs) will require an inspection.

I don't know anything about lawsuits, except that they take a long time, and cost a lot of money, and in the end, no one is truly happy with the outcome.

Not true!!

Us lawyers are usually quite happy regardless of the outcome.


At least I always required that I be paid up front so the outcome was not terribly important.

The corrosion program is voluntary and will only help to decrease the burden to do the SID's based on calendar. You would still have to perform the SID based on flight hours.

The corrosion program (CPCP) is NOT a SID. It is a separate inspection program.

The Cessna 400 series owners tried the litigation avenue and failed. Not that it may be a different case for high wing Cessna's but there is some history already.
