337G is an unknown quantity at this point
337g Poh

Hi there every one I am new to this site having just found it recently. I will be flying a 1976 "G" model up here in Canada.

I was wondering a couple of things. Does any one have or know where I may be able to find an electronic copy of the POH to download for free?

Secondly, has any one out there have any kind of an electronic W&B form for the 337G that i could also download from them.

Thank you in advance for your help and I look forward to speaking with each one of you on this forum.

Post POH

Hi "337g"...

You'll have to 'order' the POH from Cessna, since it is a proprietary item, on which they have exclusive copyright protection. It is not available for 'free' or as a download. They're not terribly expensive, probably around $40 US, maybe more now.

As far as the W&B for your airplane, you can also order up a copy of the original from Cessna, together with an original equipment list as manufactured, but at this late date, the W&B from Cessna probably wouldn't do you much good, considering your plane has most likely had changes made to it.

Didn't you get any paperwork when you bought it???

Incidentally, the POH has a complete tabbed "Weight & Balance/Equipment List" section consisting of about 31-pages, as well as a sample W&B for the airplane... but you DO NEED the specific numbers such as weight and moment from your specific airplane.

Hope this helps.

SkyKing

POH

Thanks Skyking,

That is what I had expected. I haven't got the plane yet so I was just trying to get a leg up on it so I guess I will just wait for it and the POH.

As far as the W&B is concerned I just thought maybe someone had made up one for this model on Excell or something.

Merry Christmas

I have an Excel spreadsheet made up for my previous airplane, a '73 P337G. You would have to plug in your empty weight an moment, and I would have to explain how to use it to you. No warranty of correctness from me, please run manual W&B to compare with the spreadsheet results. Call me at 503-693-7266 and I can email you a copy. I would like to speak to you first though.

POH

One other thought, and that is you might want to purchase a POH from Cessna just to have a spare on hand. I keep one in the plane, of course, and one at the house for ready-reference. And, since these POH manuals will, by their virtue of being for an 'old' plane... even though its 'new' to you... some of these manuals and things might 'dry-up', so it's probably wise to have a pair and a spare.

Esso sells POH's for most planes.
You might want to get one from them.

Hey Mr. "337g"... just curious if the plane you're obtaining happens to be C-GKEY, the all 'red' and very sharp looking 337G with the belly pod??

You can get the manuals from:

http://www.esscoaircraft.com

or directly from Cessna at: (316)517-5800

When you speak with Cessna, you'll need to be clear on the following terminology:

POH: is a manual for a specific serial number aircraft. It is something Cessna can assemble (at significant cost - maybe $200?) according to the way that aircraft left the factory.

PIH: (Pilot Information Manual): Is essentially a generic POH for a particular model (or year) of an aircraft. It will look virtually identical to the POH, but does not contain the precise equipment list or weight & balance. These are available in the $40 to $50 range.

Essco's website uses these terms interchangeable - but technically they're selling you a PIH.

I do think the PIH is what you want - especially since you're not trying to replace/recreate a missing POH.
