Oh, missed this part of your question.

A. If the airframe is over 20 years old, the SIDS apply.

And there is a Skymaster newer than 20 years old?

[WebMaster]

I was being a bit facetious.
No,
Which is the point. All Skymasters are eligible for SIDs. Makes it simple. No age discrimination.

I predict that a couple of years after Cessna releases the SID, they will then announce the production of new Skymasters.

Don't think that will ever happen, Adam already tried. Huge failure and the industry is just not ready for another Skymaster and probably never will be.

The problem would be is that no one could afford a new Skymaster. That's why Adam failed. Who would spend that much money given the performance and abilities of the aircraft. We should feel lucky that we have such solid birds for what they cost.

It all depends on the mission required. Most of the time mine is more than I need but I sure love it that way.
