RE -Vortex gen kits and increased max weight kits ,wing tips etc on Cessna aircraft that are covered by a SIDs program.

The fitment of any of the above alters the aircraft from the original type certificate and renders Cessna Life limits basically invalid.Its then the resposibility of the STC holder or aircraft operator to provide an alternate program which is a huge ask (I have already seen a few A/C with kits removed although you would then have to ask what effect this has on fatigue life).

Apparently all aging aircraft will have to have a program in place soon and if the manufacturer does not provide it the operator will have to.The Cessna program when printed out is the size of a small telephone directory!
