POH supplement

Hello all. I'm looking to get a copy of a POH supplement for a Cessna 175 with a Lycoming O360 C/S prop conversion. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: POH supplement

I think you need to be more specific.
Whose 360 conversion is it-- Avcon, DelAir, Air Plains, ??
You might be able to get the paperwork you need from the STC holder.
Anyone willing to help you out with a copy of their paperwork needs that same info-
Air Plains paperwork wouldn't do you any good if you have the Avcon conversion.

Re: POH supplement

And if your plane is not registered with the STC holder they most likely will require you to buy the STC paperwork and all - as in someone just made the upgrade by peeking in on another and making a look alike,
Even if you can prove you / your plane was originally done with a paid for but lost set of paperwork they may still want a partial feel,

The STC holder paid an outhouse full of money to wring out the FAA approval.
not something they are going to hand out LIKE cocktail napkins.

Sorry doorbell

Re: POH supplement

If what you're wanting it to know how to fly it, I can help there. My airplane is a P172D with an Avcon conversion, built in late September 1962. I've had her for 13 1/2 years. It's essentially the same as a 175, except with a back window instead of straight back. So ask your questions, and I'll try to answer them.

Incidentally, the Avcon STC is really sparse, with almost nothing in it that would be a flight manual supplement (no POH that far back).

I can't imagine anyone wanting this AFM supplement for any reason other than needing to get their airplane paperwork up to snuff.

Re: POH supplement

PS: Don't expect to be able to get a hold of AVCON. Loong story.

Delair would be the closest that I know of to the Avcon.

Seems MTV or "Flap Handle" <sorry- been down a while>
knew or knows of a couple of others.

Somewhere? I have the original BUSH paper work scanned onto a DVD.

?? The supplement is the place for the new operating limitations as the STC will have some parameters changed probably, and therefore required as much as a COR or COA or W&B. Every year the IA ought to make sure all docs are present.

Exactly my point, the POH supplement is required for the paperwork up to snuff-- AKA legal & airworthy.

I don't know the OP's needs, so I was asking. Maybe he doesn't even own the airplane, but wants to fly a friend's, or perhaps he wants to know what performance to expect. If his experience is limited, for instance, to flying a fixed pitch prop, Continental powered 172 or 175, he may want to know things like cruise rpm, MP, and the like in a Lycoming powered CS propped 175. Unfortunately, none of that info is in the Avcon paperwork--as I said, the AFM supplement is really sparse, and the STC itself lends no help.
