Thinking about a P337 - Questions

Cessna Support

These airplanes are 30, 40 and 50 years old. Cessna expected the fleet to survive a max of 20 years. Parts and support is there but can be challenging. Third party parts are a way of existence provided by several PMA'ed suppliers and manufacturers. There are expensive but I have heard that Beechcraft is more expensive. It is something that we all must be conscience of as these planes continue to age we need replacement parts and support but it's more from the private guys than Cessna.

Windscreen and windows

I am not aware of any life limits on the glass. I haven't researched this so it may be out there. Maybe someone with the P model can pipe in........

Here is an example of costs, but no windscreen or outside glass listed

The airplane handles ice pretty well. I have been really surprised with the amount of ice I have experienced and it still soldiers on. I have not had ice at Gross Weight

I did see this but they don't seem to offer the windshields or outer windows.
