really interesting is what type of service Cessna is going to provide to
owners looking for LOAs. Since the restart of the Cessna production
line in the 90s, Cessna has been hyper concerned about liability, often
to the design detriment of their aircraft. A quick comparison of a
C172SP against any P or earlier model of C172 illustrates what I mean.
I can easily see them refusing to offer any sort of LOAs or modification
support to owners.
Cessna has built a good reputation for service over the years but what I
think most people haven't thought about is that this is based upon the
part 23 system where other companies can provide parts and modifications
for a Cessna with requiring Cessna's approval. On an older Cessna like
mine, there aren't many accessories that were Cessna made. Everything
from my shimmy damper and radios to my strobe lights and magnetos were
installed with an STC or 337. Cessna was never involved in the approval
process like they will be required to be with an LSA.
