100 Hour Wing Inspection

[JGug1]

Ernie, thank you for the response. There seems to be quite a lot of history behind this/these SID's, going back many years. Can you confirm that statement. I found a communication from AOPA on the list indicating that Part 91 aircraft would NOT be affected. Thus, my assessment that 337's, in general, would not be affected. I am aware that Australian and some other 337's are ALL affected but most of the 337's flying are US registry, right? I also found some disagreeing comments regarding whether an IA would have to use the SID as his/her source for doing an annual inspection.

All/most of what you're asking is covered in the SID thread, such as the history of SIDs, and I strongly urge you to read the whole thread. There are a lot of 337s used commercially, for forest fire surveillance and forward air control, for military surveillance (AirScan operates 23 of them, mostly overseas), and for wildlife/fisheries surveillance. So it's better to say Part 91 rather than "in general".

There is no consensus that I am aware of about your particular IA wanting to do most of the inspections.

In, fact, that is a good thing. Everything except the wing pull.
You may want your IA to do some of the SID inspections, or none, and he may decide to do none of them, some of them, or all of them. If he decides the wing pull is important, find another IA.
