What changed
This bulletin clarifies that while the Cessna 206 series airplanes with STC SA4366WE have an increased approved gross takeoff weight, the maximum landing weight remains unchanged. It introduces the FAA-approved Flint Aero AFMS Revision B, which explicitly documents the maximum landing gross weight limitation that was previously unclear.
Why it matters
This clarification is important for operators and maintenance personnel to ensure compliance with the correct maximum landing weight, preventing potential safety risks associated with overloading during landing.
