Hello David

What is the current status of certification process?

We have one Cessna 182 on our airfield and we are planning to buy next one and install the tow hook on it. I've looked for EASA STC but without any success. Is there any possibility to share your drawings and calculations?

We currently have a NZ Form 337 (Field Approval) on the 182/Tost tow hook. I need to check, and I understand the US/NZ Bilateral Agreement provides for US acceptance of NZ STC for Part 23 Airplanes.

Please allow me a couple of days to investigate; one way or another, I'm confident we can assist, either by completing a NZSTC, or supplying data to your DER for approval. Depending on your local FAA, it may even be permissible to assert compliance on the basis of AC43.13-2B, which presents a layout for a tow hook installation to a sheet metal airplane that we have used as the basis for our design.

First step. I'll work out how to post a couple of pictures.

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.

EASA-Transport Canada bilateral agreement https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-...ents/eu-canada .
Then download
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES FOR AIRWORTHINESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION Under The Agreement On Civil Aviation Safety Between The Government Of Canada And The European Union* Revision 18 September 2017

and look at page 26, transfer of an STC.
