Is the enlargement also for the inspection? Or just the kit install?

I've only provided information from the service kit installation instructions.

These are the two kit instructions. they say to modify the existing floor boards.

The local Cessna support center says it is easier to remove the entire floor, I took their word for it. I've never done of of these mods, and I don't intend to.

Tom, that was true of the old software, but not the new. You'll never see a blocked person's post, even when someone else quotes them.

I have exactly one person blocked and I couldn't tell you if he's posting or not these days. This software totally buries them.

Then I will try it again.
But then it will be up to you to know when he is peddling bum dope.

 

[Tom-D]

I've only provided information from the service kit installation instructions.

Remember, we are looking at two different kits, two different aircraft, two different instructions.
only one gets the new inspection plates installed.

As fas as Im concerned, is thread pertains to the kit mentioned in post #1, you drifted it.

 

[Tom-D]

Was this concern for just 182’s or also other single engine strut style Cessna’s?

You'd have to read the proposed AD to see the list, but there are others like the 172-N and later, the 182-E and later, and the list goes on

What does the AD include?

Doesn't apply.

Don't ya know the folks at

Can you install the kit even if there aren’t any cracks as a preventative measure?

yes

Really, you contacted the support center even though from the beginning you said you wouldn't do the kit install...

All part of the decision process

 

[Tom-D]

Here is one of the Cessna service bulletins that started this, it is on a 200 series A/C but the wording is about the same

https://support.cessna.com/custsupt/contacts/pubs/ourpdf.pdf?as_id=22186

It gives the inspection instructions but not who must do it.

 

[GlennAB1]

No it’s not.

Read the service kit instructions.

 

[JAWS]

You are kidding, right?

 

[Tom-D]

You are kidding, right?

Where did I miss "who must do The inspection" The AD will tell when /if it becomes an AD. And I doubt in this case it will be an owner do.
SBs are normally directed at the mechanics, but rarely say who is required, unless there is special equipment and certifications required.

normally part 39 compliance is a A&P function, but if it is nothing but a records search, owners/operators are allowed by the AD instructions.
So, If owners are allowed to do the inspection, the AD will say so.

My carpet is out for the annual, we just stuck a borescope through the inspection hole and fed it forward, wasn’t very difficult

 

[alaskan9974]

Did I miss some big rush on these parts, the price from Cessna jumped from $1120(920) on AirPower to over $6000. Seems a bit extreme?

Opportunity for money grab and that aren't shy. We got one in our hands before the jump
