JTA's "Temple's Tips" are a collection of articles written by Jerry Temple, and other qualified sources about twin Cessnas or subjects associated with the sale or purchase of a twin Cessna.  Some have appeared in publications and the dates of publication are noted at the top of the article.  It is IMPORTANT to note that some of the articles will reflect dated information and are intended for your reading information only.  Obviously, as the aviation world moves on, the reader should pay close attention to publish/author date so as to clearly grasp what the article is saying about the time frame that it was relevant to.  I hope you enjoy these articles.  Most contain valuable information for both present owners and those considering a purchase.  Bear in mind when reading any article that any referral to prices of aircraft, parts, modifications, etc., and availability of such are dated and are likely changed.
