A bad day for Skymaster owners
Just reviewed the revisions. They are to put it mildly absurd and require in some instances removing engines, tail booms elevators, and rudders. Perhaps a class action suit is in order. If Cessna wants all this stuff done they should be paying for it.

Easy does it Gord
Sounds like the SID's we have been talking about over the last 3 years have arrived. In the US these new inspections are not mandatory for Part 91 operation. What about Canada? Not sure but I don't remember hearing in any discussions that Canada was different than the US. Let me know if you have other information. There is a rule that is still on the books that says all aircraft inspections shall be carried out according to the original maintenance manual that was delivered with the aircraft. So unless some shop has some other policy you should be fine. Cessna has started writing these additional inspections to meet the demand from FAA and Congress coming from the Aging Aircraft issue. They, Cessna, seem to be acting very quiet about the release of these documents. As I said in the post above from what I see they have been out since October of last year. Guess we should have believed the press when they published this http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news..._201808-1.html Wow, this is my 1,000th post, cool!

If Cessna is driving this train, then it seems to me, based on the magnitude of the inspections, they are admitting gross negligence.

It's simple. Cessna should pay for the inspections.

If it was a design flaw then yes. If it was because of a worn out part then no. I don't mind paying for the part and the labour to install said part but the cost of the inspections could exceed the value of the ac. It's as if they are trying to ground the entire fleet in one fell swoop.
