Cargo Nets

B2C2 · #1 07-11-13, 02:46 PM

Does anyone know if there is an STC or other method to add tie points and cargo nets to the interior of a 337? I am interested in setting up the plane for two front seat occupants, a couple of dogs and baggage and want to make sure the baggage/cargo is tied down properly. I'm currently removing a middle and aft seat for the dogs and this creates enough room for them. Id like to take out the other mid and aft seats and use that side of the plane for cargo, but may want other configurations as well. It seems like an arrangement that provides tie points in the ceiling and floor would permit this.

What model and year is your Skymaster? I have a P337G 1975 unit and it has tie down clips in the cargo area in back of the bench seat (2nd row). The bench seat swings upward in a vertical position in back of the pilots seat for more cargo loading. How is your plane configured?

The plane is a 1969 T337D. All six seats are independently installed on seat rails and relatively easily removed.

These guys custom make cargo nets in any size & strength you want, with tiedowns where you want them. I'd get one rated for 10x my cargo weight.

I'm not sure how you'd get tiedown points in the ceiling.

Are they STC'd?

No. Does a cargo net need to be STC'ed?
