Cessna drawings, if you're using a Schweizer hook.

A TOST hook is another matter.

They seem to have a hook of their own design, though I've never seen one in use.

The Seattle Glider Council C-182 has a TOST release installed according to their board minutes from April, 2012.

Contact Steve Northcraft for more details.

Looks like a field approval.....need to find a kind open minded FSDO FAA Inspector who knows something about what he looking at and near death so he will no have to worry about it for much longer.

The good news is that it is much easier to get a 337 approved when it is based upon "approved data" such as the Cessna drawing linked above. This should be almost a non issue as a reviewing FAA inspector only has to verify conformance to data and does not have to make any judgments. They HATE to make judgements.

Why do you need a 337 if you are only install installing factory parts per factory drawings? You aren't modifing anything, just installing optional original equipment.
As I understand it this only requires a logbook entry by an A&P.
If you have to owner produce the parts, I don't think that changes anything as long as you can reasonably certify they match the factory drawing.

My read is that this is installation instructions for a Schweizer hitch not produced or provided by the factory. In any case it is an alteration where a 337 would be appropriate.

Would not DAR be Abilene to sign off on tow,install and newer drawings. I believe there is a new towhook being developed by a USA company.
