Thats what I had to do for my serial number. The lady on the phone was really nice. Now I can access the docs and get email updates.


Also, ATS had them on sale during Oshkosk for $170. Not sure when the sale ends.

I don't know when the last time you logged in.... but as of last week... you only get a "login error" and if you call customer support...they send you to ATP who charges $330 for the ovhl manual. :evil:

The old "Aviators Services" is no longer.

Then try the Tech Support number. Maybe your experience is a new thing with Continental. But I called them about three weeks ago (I think it was the Tech Support number at the Atlanta facility) to get copies of a couple of manuals I couldn't download (got a login error message), and the guy (cearly a seasoned tech rep) emailed them to me right away. He did express his exasperation with the login/download issues. He never asked me for any login info, just chatted with me for a few and asked me for my email address and which manuals I wanted.

Please UP-load to the MX Library any current manuals you might have received.... as all the contact folks at Continental have been slow to be educated by their employer.. but as of yesterday, 8/7/2017....Customer service states... NO FREE MANUALS anymore. One must open an account at ATP.

So, again..if you have a "free" manual you've rec'd from them.... pass it on! Email to either myself or Bruce so we can post it in the MX Library. Thank you.

That's a shame. When I was shooting the breeze with the tech support guy about three weeks ago, he said that they had been told for about a year that the login issues would be corrected. Looks like the company went in a different direction. I have the C-145/O-300 operation and overhaul manuals, and the parts list/catalog, as of when I downloaded them about three weeks ago. Also the M-O, Change 4, which you already have. I'm out of town for a couple of days. I can email them to you, George, and Bruce as soon as I return, in a day or two, as i need to do that from my real computer (not the IPad I'm using now). But I think they all have Aug 2011 dates. I was downloading them for another mechanic on my field.

I also have copies of the A-65, C-75, C-85, C-90 and O-200 operation and overhaul manuals, and parts lists/catalogs, as of three weeks ago as well, if you or anyone else is interested in them. (We have a bunch of Cubs and Champs on my field.) I think all of those manuals also have Aug 2011 dates.

I wasn't speaking of only the Continental manuals, Bruce. I think the Library would benefit for propeller, Lycoming, Franklin, and any other manuals in electronic form which may be legally stored in the library.
