Skyway MRO Services is now offering a quick-release radome modification for Cessna Citations that allows for rapid removal and installation while avoiding screwdriver scratches. It also eliminates the need for expensive, easy-to-lose fasteners.
The mod replaces the original screw-type radome fasteners with bayonet guides and positive-locking quick-release fasteners. Pricing starts at $13,500 for the kit, or $18,225 installed. Skyway said its onsite paint experts can create a perfect blend with the aircraft’s existing paint scheme or provide “a whole new look.”
Meanwhile, Skyway also offers the latest refinement of Sierra’s SkyStep cabin door modification for many Citation models. According to Skyway, SkyStep’s design and lightweight construction eliminates shortcomings of the original factory step. Operators can “improve passenger safety and convenience while enhancing [their] aircraft’s appearance,” the company said.
SkyStep maintains STC approval from the FAA and EASA for the Citation 525 (CJ, CJ1, CJ1+), 525A (CJ2, CJ2+), 525B (CJ3, CJ3+), 500/501SP, 550/551SP, S550, and 560 (V, Ultra, and Encore).
