Hello David

Thank you for information. Maybe I didn't write it clear, but we are not under FAA but under EASA supervision. I've started to communicate with our civil aviation authority how to easiest approve some STC (or different solution) from NZ or from Canada.

The Schweizer towhook installation on the 182 is done upside down compared to the "normal" tailwheel install. So the whole "glider kiting" phobia issue does not apply. IMO in a dusty environment the Schweizer hook is a better & simpler solution than the Tost units. As previously noted, K&L has them. McFarlane used to sell a similar unit. Good luck.

When the US National Championships were held in Wichita, KS in 1961, Cessna aircraft (also in Wichita) provided a small fleet of towplanes. After that event, the Schweizer tow releases were a given Cessna part numbers and were added to the type design of the aircraft as an optional part. Therefore, it is part of the certification for the airplane; no additional paperwork is required.

Can anybody tell me if the EASA/Canada Bilateral treats a "Serial" STC differently from a (non-serialised) STC. We recently spent a tidy sum having an additional serial number added to a SSTC (all aircraft involved being on the Canadian register). Further question, can a Canadian SSTC be amended to add aircraft not currently on the Canadian Register. Arcane questions I'm sure, but may assist our ability to support Ramy's enquiry.

You can use the 1250 kit from Pacific Aerial Tow Hooks https://pacificaerialtowhooks.com/

SA220SO is the STC/

Did you have any luck with EASA?

Thanks,
