Is there an STC for installing a Schweizer hook on a 150/150? I could
just follow 43.13-2B Chap.8 and get a field approval but I'm trying to
minimize the Fed involvement. Ideas?

Look in the IPC (Illustrated Parts Catalog). I believe it is shown there
(I know it is on the 172 and 182). If it is shown there, there is no need
for any FAA involvement, as it is approved by Cessna. I know the 150 is
approved for towing (have seen the structural substantiation report).

And with it in the IPC, it needs, at the very most, an airframe mechanic
signature for the installation. It might even be an owner/operator
installable part, as it is less complicated than changing oil or a tire.
