AV Web SIDS Article 12-24-09

Will this SID blanket cover all 336 and 337s, or is an AFTT number associated with it?

[WebMaster]

The short answer is yes.
The long answer is it depends. If you take your airplane to a Cessna authorized service center, they will do the inspections according to the new book. If you are only Part 91, and in the USA, your IA may require that you follow the new book, regardless of where you take it. Your IA may be convinced to follow the old book, your existing service manual. Again, it will depend on who and where the inspections are being done. Then again, regardless of where you take it, your insurance company may insist on compliance, as a condition of maintaining insurance coverage.

I say new book, because the SIDs will be incorporated into a new service manual.

Oh, missed this part of your question.

A. If the airframe is over 20 years old, the SIDS apply.

And there is a Skymaster newer than 20 years old?

[WebMaster]

I was being a bit facetious.
No,
Which is the point. All Skymasters are eligible for SIDs. Makes it simple. No age discrimination.

I predict that a couple of years after Cessna releases the SID, they will then announce the production of new Skymasters.

[hharney]

Don't think that will ever happen, Adam already tried. Huge failure and the industry is just not ready for another Skymaster and probably never will be.
