CYA - What are the authorities?
Have you ever noticed that on all of your ground-fault outlets it says to "test them every 30 days?"
Like much of what goes on in the USA these days, many of these measures become an exercise to prepare a defense "in case anything happens." "What? Do you mean that when your husband flew into the mountain out of fuel, he had failed to remove the wings every six months to inspect for cobwebs?" From friends in high places, the only rule that is enforceable is one that has gone through a rulemaking process, which engages oversight and accountability. At least in theory. Bureaucrats and lawyers often forget these limits. When someone tries to 'enforce' beyond their statutory authorities, they are literally abusing power by trying to exercise authorities not given to them in the first place. As owner of Potomac Airfield I have become, alas, somewhat expert in these matters. Unless its an AD it is just good advice, and maybe a defense for Cessna, but that's all. D

I didn't know of Cessna's negligence until many years, and lots of corrective maintenance, after purchase.

Sorry, not gonna buy that. So you are saying before purchasing the airplane you never, nor did your mechanic, open an inspection cover? You or your mechanic never removed a cowling? You're grasping at straws.

You buy junk, you get to fly junk. Or fix it.

SID's are published
Just received the Maintenance Manual revisions, Part #D2500-2TR9, which update the February 1973 current Maintenance Manual, Part #D2500-2-13.
This is the second revision to the current Maintenance Manual indicated above. The first revision is Part#D2500-2TR8 and deals with the Reel Type Seat Stops, Landing Light Switch and Corrosion Inspection of the Main Landing Gear. This new revision released last October are the Supplemental Inspection Documents (SID) and the Corrosion Prevention and Control Program (CPCP) that have been discussed on this message board for the last 2 1/2 years. See the threads below for more information about SID's: http://www.337skymaster.com/messages...ead.php?t=2513 This revision, D2500-2TR9, contains 176 double sided pages. This revision covers 1965 -1973 337. The following are the revision numbers for the applicable models. 336 - D238-2TR6 1965-1973 337 D2500-2TR9 1974-1980 337/T337 D2506-8TR9 1973-1980 P337 D2516-9TR8 These revisions were all released 4th Qtr 2010. I ordered mine through Yingling http://www.cessnadirect.com and it was $8.11 online order. These are available in paper only, no electronic format unless you subscribe to a service. I have not reviewed the document yet as it just arrived by courier. I will start to review today and update soon.

What do you mean zinc chromate doesn't prevent corrosion? That's not what I was told in A&P school.
