'I agree with Mike, a quick check of STC list at the FAA web site
shows no STC held by Skytronics involving the Ranger engine,
Fairchild, or Grumman Widgeon. The Grumman mentioned is a G164(AG CAT)
a widgeon is a G44.Jasco own site listed in JSTreat's reply concur
with the FAA 's database. Skytronics holds 13 STC's, none of which
mention The 24 or Ranger.
This doesn't mean that you can't do it. You'll just have to get your
alteration(337) approved by your FSDO BEFORE you begin. This is where
the Administrator fills out block 3 on the 337. To help get the
Administrator to approve your data to perform your alteration you may
show them a previously approved 337 of someone else's, but this is
not ironclad. If they don't want to approve it they won't and you
can't. Further engineering data and or more sophisticated data may be
required to sway the Administrator. An STC avoids this as it is
already approved data as long as the installing agency(mechanic)
follows the the STC. A 337 still has to be executed but block 3 is
left empty and the alteration can be performed and ship returned to
service by a current I.A. without any colaboration with the FAA other
than submitting the completed 337.'
