FAA Supplemental Type Certificates (STC)
Better than new plane performance, at less than a new plane price.


STC's have always been a popular means to upgrade an aircraft to higher performance levels, as well as increasing aircraft value without purchasing an entirely new aircraft.

The average age of the approximately 250,000 single and light twin-engine aircraft around the world is thirty years. These conversions allow aircraft owners to upgrade their existing engine and propeller, adding value, performance, and efficiency to their aircraft.

John Jewell Aircraft, Inc. located in Holly Springs, Mississippi is proud to offer engine and prop performance upgrades for the Cessna 182 H-R series aircraft. JJA is pleased to provide these STC options with their existing product lines.

Carbureted
C182 - 252 Conversion

This conversion allows upgrade to a 047OU (2000 hour TBO) along with a 252hp @ 2625 rpm conversion. Prop option available: McCauley 2-blade 204. Note: 1977 and newer C182 models were factory equipped with 047OU and McCauley 204 prop, therefore existing equipment may be used.

For upgrade using the 2-blade 204 propeller, installation consists of changing carburetor, tachometer, balance tube and propeller governor. For upgrade using the 3-blade Scimitar propeller, the engine mount is replaced with a "heavy duty" engine mount requiring minor firewall modification, in addition to changing the carburetor, tachometer, balance tube and propeller governor. Some early model aircraft (1964 and below) may require replacement items such as exhaust, baffling, carburetor shroud, additional engine mount hardware, etc. as well as extra labor. Labor for the STC installation is approximately 10 to 20 hours (depending on 2 or 3 blade installations) in addition to normal engine R & R for most models.

Customer Reviews
Carbureted 252

I'm very pleased with the conversion. The takeoff and climb performance have been greatly improved, bordering on phenomenal. It just wants to jumpoff the ground. There is some improvement in cruise performance but Ihaven't had it long enough to evaluate totally. It seems I can get the same speed with a slightly lower power setting which gives a lower fuel burn.

The conversion is basically invisible with the exception of the new tachometer.

Fuel Injected 300

My partner and I feel that the Bonaire stc conversion kit to I0-550 on Cessna 182 is excellent. It's a performer airplane on wheel and float.
