TAILWHEEL CONVERSIONS
North West Aviation has converted the following
nose wheel aircraft to tailwheel configuration.
Cessna 152, 172, 182 and Piper PA22 Tri-Pacer.
Our company specialises in carrying out
tailwheel conversions to Cessna 182 (1956-1961).
CASA STC No. SVA506 was issued to North West
Aviation on 17/4/2000 to modify the undercarriage of Cessna
182, 182A, 182B, 182C, 182D to the same configuration as the
Cessna 180.
Having this conversion carried out to a STC
gives International credibility to this modification.
Advantages to Modifying the undercarriage
to tail wheel configuration are:
- More robust undercarriage assembly that is better suited
to operations from unimproved airstrips.
- Increased propeller clearance making the propeller less
susceptible to gravel and stone damage during taxi and
take-off operations.
- The aircraft is more stable when operating on rough
and undulating terrain
