Here, sadly we see what's wrong with Australian aviation. If you suspect there might be something wrong with your aircraft, you may at any time have it inspected and rectified, if necessary.
Some here don't want to do that unless FORCED to and then they want everyone else to suffer the same.
Pathetic.

Nope, not even for SIDS.
There should be an announcement from CAsA before the end of month regards the SID's for the 100 series Cessna's. I'll be more than a little interested to see where they go with this, having a couple of aircraft that require the SID's.
But CAsA being CAsA , they'll probably fcuk things up like most other things that they've touched in recent times. We'll see.

Yes, SIDS is a financial hemorrhoid, and yes it makes gravity and debt stick to your plane for a while, it may dull the pain of Cessna owners to consider this:
when a stock goes ex-dividend, its listed price drops, but every shareholder is effected equally, and no one profits or suffers more than anyone else.
when the price of avgas or landing fees goes up 15%, we all whinge and protest but again, it hits us all equally
when the US $ drops against the Aus $, Australian aircraft owners have all lost a bit of world value on their US made aircraft
Anyhoooo, the point I'm clumsily making is that in say a year, when everyone is either SIDS compliant or their plane is sitting in a kindy playground, Australian Cessnas will be, worth the same as against each other. Also, the market will ensure those planes are more expensive to people entering the market to buy (I sure as hell will be adding the cost of my C210 SIDS to the future sale price, and even if I didn't my bank would do it for me when they repossess it !).
So don't count the SIDS cost as a financial loss on your investment, its an enforced capital gain, even if you don't put a monetary value on having your plane being given a clean bill of structural health. Perhaps you can ponder the value of this peace of mind when next you get hit by a dose of CAT over the wheatbelt on a hot day, or a blast of unwelcome g force when landing at RTI in a howling seabreeze.
Keep the blue stuff on the left flying north from Perth !

Rubbish SID's aint SID's and AUD($) likes low time imports not local sitters. But then remember it only Cessna and most places repeat all SID,s each 10 years in Australia. (that is minimal $1,000 per year EXTRA in labour).

Beech in bed with Cessna so maybe soon, but they have spar life and things.
Piper have been trying to avoid by use of Bulletins, don't think they are keen.
But saw the AWB on J&R wing attach fittings for C400, I have fitted a few of them + 10 years ago as part of SID's.

Re areo junkie link.
Whats last para list?
"‘The extra two years for SIDs completion will allow Cessna 100 series aircraft owners and maintainers to plan to spread out the work and the costs over a longer period with no unacceptable risks to safety.
‘This initiative by CASA is an example of our commitment to work with the aviation community to get outcomes that balance safety and operational requirements.’
Because they are not strongly related to the structural integrity of the aircraft these SIDs are not compulsory. This includes SIDs relating to landing gear—although landing gear failure could cause a runway accident, analysis of these accidents shows they rarely lead to injuries or deaths. Spar failure is a different case."

Thanks for the helpful links.
Are some SID's now not applicable - as per last week all SID's for Cessna type and S/N needed to be carried out.
My bolded suggest that some now not need be done - is that correct?
I would have read links but yesterday would not open, now still extreme slow net speed.
Useful reply's only thanks guys!
