C-560 Weight Mod?

[dpilot_citation]

Does anyone no of any place, I can get some information on increasing MTOW on the 560? I understand there is a STC out there; I just have not been able to find it.

Thanks for your help!

I am not aware of a weight mod for the 560, but we have the weight mod on our 550. It is a company in Denver called Safe Flight. Used to be named the Branson weight increase mod.

Try STC#2781CE, issued to Cessna for the 560 increases gross weight by 400 lbs.

While I'm not sure it's their practice anymore, Cessna used to refuse work on aircraft with an outsourced mod at the Service Centers (aka Branson, Sierra, etc) Might be worth thinking about when considering any "non-Cessna" modifications.

My Bad, it is New Flight in Denver that has the weight mod for the 550's, maybe they have the STC for the 560.

2000flyer is right, Cessna will not sign off on a modified a/c where as the stc didn't come from them.

Sorry meant to paste this on the earlier reply. This is the only stc listed on the FAA site for increasing the 560's gross weight.
