Dear Cessna Customer:
Thank you for inquiring on how to obtain a replacement data plate for your aircraft. Before we can consider supplying a replacement the following criteria must be met and your request submitted through an Authorized Cessna Service Station or a Cessna Service Engineer.
1. A notarized letter from the registered owner stating what happened to the original data plate, along with describing the circumstances surrounding the loss. The letter must also contain a statement as to when the plate was first found to be missing. The letter must also indicate any major repairs or modifications (requiring a 337 Form or S.T.C.). If no modification or major repairs have been accomplished, the following statement must be contained in the letter: “No major repairs or modifications have been accomplished to this airplane.â€
The letter must also contain the aircraft model and serial number and the registration number.
2. A letter (on official letter head) from the F.A.A. Regional Office or appropriate governmental agency (International) stating that the airplane is as represented. The letter should also state aircraft model, serial number, registration number and registered owner’s name and give permission to remove and/or install the Duplicate Data Plate.
3. An aircraft conformity check confirming in writing that:
A. The aircraft meets the original type certificate, i.e.: engine, propeller and placards.
B. All mandatory bulletins are accomplished (a Service Bulletin List obtained from Technical Support Services shall be used and each mandatory bulletin must be marked as complete by the party performing the conformity check. This list must be returned to Cessna Technical Information Services with the request). This listing may be ordered by contacting Cessna at 316-517-5800. The cost for this listing is $68.00. A credit card number may be used when ordering by phone.
C. Modification such as winglets, STOL kits, spoilers or any others are not installed.This conformity check must be performed by:
– An authorized Cessna Service Station.
– A Cessna Service Engineer.
Cessna will be happy to coordinate such a conformity check and you may contact us at 316-517-5800.
4. There is a $404.00 charge plus your local and state sales tax for the replacement data plate if supplied by Cessna.
A check or credit card number (Visa, MasterCard or American Express) must accompany your request.
5. Cessna reserves the right not to supply a duplicate data plate if we feel the aircraft has been modified or repaired in such a manner that, in our opinion, the design load carrying ability or flight characteristics of the airplane have been changed.
NOTE: Prices subject to change without notice.
Sincerely,
Cessna Aircraft Co.
