Cessna Twin SID's
As I understand it, from 31st March 04 all Cessna twins that have a SID will be grounded until they comply with the Cessna Supplimentary Inspection Documentation. From what I understand, this isnt even a mandatory requirement in the US yet, and the FAA is giving Cessna owners till 2005 to comply.
Of course for safety reasons, these SIDS are not a bad idea, but why must they be implemented in Australia by the end of the month. For an aircraft that has not yet had the wing spar mods done, this work is worth between $80k and $100k and will take at least 3-4 weeks. Why not over the course of the next year???
Correct me if I am wrong on any of this - it would make my life a lot easier!!!
How can CASA expect GA owners and operators to cope with this?????
Anyone know any more / different???
