Since its start in 1983, Sierra Industries installed hundreds of performance-enhancing modifications for Cessna’s general aviation aircraft.
These popular enhancements are now available directly from SkyWay, along with parts, support and repair services:
Cessna 206/207 Auxiliary Fuel Tank
This system is also certified for installation on Soloy-modified turbine 206 Mk I and Mk II models. Please contact us for details, availability and pricing.
If you sometimes land short on your long-distance flights, consider the added range that Skyway’s Auxiliary Fuel System Enhancement can provide. Carefully balanced to maintain the aircraft’s existing balance and center of gravity, this system adds an additional 50 gallons to your existing fuel capacity.
This popular enhancement can add as much as 650 nautical miles to the range of your Cessna 206 or 207. Durable vulcanized rubber tanks are fully integrated with the existing fuel system, with no additional switches or gauges to worry about. Now FAA approved for Soloy Mark I and II turbine upgrades, it is also available in kit form. Just fill up your tanks and go!
These exclusive Auxiliary Fuel Tanks are made of tough, durable vulcanized rubber and are completely integrated with the existing fuel system, with no additional switches or gauges to worry about.
Engineered and built to exacting F.A.R. Part 23 standards and proven over many years of operations, this enhancement is available in kit form or it can be installed in our facilities by our certified FAA mechanics.
Cessna 210 Landing Gear mods
“No Doors” Main Landing Gear Kit
Available for Cessna 210’s produced between 1970 and 1978, the No Doors kit (PN 090001) eliminates the troublesome factory hydraulic gear door system, essentially replicating Cessna’s 1979 redesign of the gear. The conversion consists in removing the four main gear doors, three hydraulic actuating cylinders, plus unnecessary excess sheet metal, fairings and tubing, resulting in a 19 pound gain in useful load.
Nose Gear Door Conversion
This modification for the Cessna 210 Nose Gear Door (PN 080001) completes the conversion of your Cessna 210 to post-1979 appearance and operation. The elimination of a hydraulic cylinder and conversion of the Nose Gear doors to mechanical operation shortens operating time, decreases wear on the system and reduces the chance of a hydraulic system-related failure.
these fully stc approved modifications offer multiple benefits
- Cleaner look — no more “droopy doors”
- Reduce retraction/extension time — gear actuation time is cut by up to 50%
- Reduced system complexity — 32 moving parts eliminated
- Reduced maintenance — fewer operating elements to cause problems
- Current production appearance — like all production 210 aircraft since 1979
- Enhanced resale value — with an industry-recognized value modification
Complete installation can be accomplished at a facility of your choice or at SkyWay’s Uvalde, TX factory. Please contact us for details, availability and pricing.
