C182 Jump Door 337's?

[tkhayes 348]

Does anyone have copies of their C-182 337 (for an inflight or jump door) that they could share with me? I want to show other examples to our local FAA FSDO before I go ahead with a jump door on my 182

If you can scan your 337 in and send to me, that would be great, tk@skydivecity.com or fax to 813-783-2171

thanks

TK-

What year? It makes a difference in the approval process.

For the door mod the year or narrow/wide body should not make a difference.
Nothing is being altered structurally.

Pretty sure USPA owns that STC and has free copies for members.

Whew, I thought you wanted a C-182 jump door on a Cessna 337.

Now, there's an idea!

Let's see:

1. Remove rear engine - discard

2. Change front engine out to a Walter Turbo-Prop

3. Add Tail Gate door in Rear

You now have a mini-tailgate aircraft...

I've thought the same thing. Look halfway down this page.

Actually the USPA lists the 337 as an approved jump plane. I don't if they mean with the rear engine running during the jump run or not.

I suppose one could safely jump the 337 all day long with both engines running. The problem, as I see it, is if or when something goes wrong and a PC, rPC, etc. escapes and is drawn into the prop.

The FAA may say it's OK, but there are too many other planes out there to jump for me to consider the 337.

Edited to add: Here's a 337-A in flight.

USPA doesn't approve jump planes. They list it as a plane that is certified for flight with the door removed.

They own several STC's which are "pre-approved"
Mods which they will sell to anyone.
