Q: What am I paying for, and how much will it cost?
A: You are paying for a legal "major alteration" to your airframe. It allows an additional 150 - 160 pounds of useful load (to 3100 pounds maximum gross takeoff weight). Costs for the paperwork are related to the major investments that were required for a multi-year FAA certification program.
The price for the STC package is US $750.00 on a one-time purchase basis. That equates to about $ 5 per pound of useful load. Documents will be completed for you and sent via E-mail. Other delivery options are available at nominal cost.
The STC will add value to your airplane and may be transferred to any new owners (at no charge) for the life of the airplane.
