Post by jatkins »

Hi ,
As winter is here now ( at least up in here Canada !) 8)
I was wondering if it would be possible to post the following information ? :idea:
1) CESSNA SERVICE LETTER SLN-64 (Winter Aileron Inspection)
2) TCM SIL03-1, Cold Wx Ops -Engine Preheating

Thanks John
Also on differant subject , what does the association have about, "Landing / taxi lights in both wings " ? :?:

SLN-64 was posted in the MX Library in 2004. (see Screen 3 there)

Thanks George,
I read through the posts on dual landing / taxi lights.
I gather that there is still no stc ? Therefore the only way to get it legally
installed, is by taking the plane to Del and getting him to do the installation ?
is that correct ?

I believe Del might be able to help you make the installation without your taking your airplane all the way to Mena, but you'll have to call him to discuss that. Being a Canadian aircraft may complicate matters somewhat, I'm not that familiar with the differences in certification of "field approvals" up there.

You are correct, there is still no STC, ... it's in the development stage. I'll be posting the info as soon as possible.
