I need to purchase an "official" Cessna POH for our 1975 182.

Hi Dave

When I needed a POH for my 172 I looked at a couple of companies which
claimed to sell them. Then I spoke to the company that maintains my
aircraft, and they told me that they didn't sell them because Cessna
will not give anyone, including resellers, a discount - therefore the
product being offered elsewhere was either not a genuine POH, or it was
more expensive than purchasing it from Cessna. As they would not sell me
one I considered that to be unbiased advice so I contacted the Cessna
website which directed me to my nearest Canadian Cessna dealer. A call
to them and they gave me a price that was better than the others that I
had seen. They asked me what had happened to my old one and I told them
that it had been stolen. Because of that I could not legally fly until I
had a POH on board so the expedited it. They paid air freight to Canada,
they used their customs broker, and when they received it they sent it
courier to me. I had it in 48 hours and only paid for the POH (Cheap -
somewhere around $35.00).
I was not charged for the airfreight, customs clearance or courier.

Worth considering?
