SB / Cessna 337 / actuators

[skymstr02]

I was notified of this by the Cessna Pilots Assn this past week. Its MEB02-7, entitled "Main Landing Gear Actuator Inspection", dated Oct 07, 2002

It applies to '73-'77 337G's (normal and turbo), 78-80 H's and P's, s/n P3370001-P3370365. They didn't forget the Reims build aircraft either, affected are F3370001 thru F33700086, FTB3370001 thru 0062, FP3370001 thru0023.

Its basically check the actuators for cracks, if not cracked, modify. If cracked, open your checkbook, looks like around $10k each. Due at 3,000 hours and repeatative at 500hr intervals.

Cessna considers this to be madatory and notes that failure to comply could result in faliure to the main landing gear actuator. That must be they're attorneys advice.
