Cessna C337 SID

Boy that clears up a lot of confusion. Obviously from your comments you have thorough understanding of the position the owners are in. To help validate your comments can you tell us a little more about yourself? expertise etc.
Well done.

Gord,

I'm afraid that my own resume won't change the validity of what's been said, although I believe I provided adequate information to enable anyone to establish the information for themselves.

I fly internationally, and work as both a pilot and mechanic and inspector. I'm also a flight and ground instructor (and flight engineer, if that makes any difference). Presently I'm abroad, operating a large aircraft, primarily in hostile areas. I would prefer to say no more than that.

Be as verbose as you please.
The software has limits of how big a post can be, but I don't.

SIDS not mandatory...

SID inspections are NOT mandatory for Canadian registered, small, privately owned aircraft.

From Transport Canada

"For non-commercial owner/operators of small piston aircraft who are operating under Standard 625 Appendix B however the ability to operate to the general annual inspection requirements of this appendix removes the requirement to perform the SID inspections.The Regulations state only the minimum requirements in order to comply however Transport Canada encourages all owners to assess manufacturer’s recommendations for their aircraft".

So now we know.

I would assume this is good news for the 337? Hopefully, they would not just convert the SID into an AD on just the 337 if all the high wings have the same SID? It seems, barring any other related 337 incidents, that this has run its course?
