Paul, I'm not sure why you're so concerned about this. The Cessna SIDs have no regulatory impact in the US, except possibly for Part 135 operators who have committed to comply with service bulletins in their op specs. (I don't think there are a lot of 337s in Part 135 service.)

Here in the West there are quite a few 337s in Part 135 service (or on contracts requiring Part 135 levels) to the Forest Service for fire fighting/spotting; to the BLM for a myriad of range management duties; to Interior, Energy, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, Joint Drug Task Forces, etc.

The requirement to go to digital tactical radios was already a big financial hit.

Any program with an impact like the one for the 401 and 402 fleets would be devastating.
