The International Cessna 170 Association

I was taught the same, NEVER turn back, I recall it being demostrated , in a C 172 , and at 800ft we just managed to make it back to the runway. However recently I have been told by a PC-12 Pilot that they train it in there "sim" training. I believe that i was told that from 400 ft they ca...

Hi, I recall reading about a "letter" from Cessna from somewhere , that said something along the lines that the 172 wing ( within certian model numbers and serial numbers) was able to go one the C 170B. Does anyone on have a copy they could forward to me @ johnatkins@rogers.com I have a 17...

Rich, When I looked at this approach chart I see, "1 min " on the chart ,right inside the holding diagram ? In my experience , if you want 5 or 10 mile legs , all one needs to do is to request it. I am going to suggest, the controllers are expecting you , and other people holding to fly &q...

When you say aux tank, do you mean the Javelin Aux tank which goes on the floor behind the rear seat ? If so the fuel line goes up the r/h side of the AC above the rear side window , to above the door , where a "T " fitting joins it to the fuel line from the r/h tank. I think there is a st...

I need the thickness as well .020 or what ever?

Thanks John

I installed the selkirk baggage extension in my 170B, and decided, I needed to have better access , to the baggaeg area if I wanted to carry large items, such as a bike. I decided that complete removal of the complete back seat was too difficult. Here is what I ended up doing. With the seat removed ...

The 600, 700 and 800 tires are specified on the type certificate, just not on the Cleveland wheel stc.

THANKS Bruce, I will bring this to his attention, I hope this will satisfy him. What we are looking at , is The Type certificate says 600 , 700, or 800 tires. The cleveland STC does not specify ANY tire sizes , so therefore the tire size(s) on the Type Certificate apply ??? I hope he sees the light....

The mechanic working on my 170B is asking this question. I do have the STC for the cleveland installation kit when it was installed about 20 years ago. I looked up the part numbers for the 170 wheels 40-97A , the wheel halves are , 161-03000 inner and 162-02700 outer, with bearings part number 214-0...

I have searched the past forms, and have found lots on 800 tires, but not the answer to my question , so here goes, I know the 800 tires are listed on the type certificate, but now I am being told the 800 tires on the type certificate are for Goodyear wheels only, as goodyears were on the 170 when o...

Hi Bruce,
I just read an email from Ron, and he explained the Assocation "owns" the STC , and does sell it specific to an airplane.

My next thing is to call Jan.

Best Regards John
