Introduction This report details the basis on which Type Acceptance Certificate No.96/09 was issued in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B. Specifically the report aims to: (a) Record the airworthiness certification standard used for type acceptance of the applicable model(s) in New Zealand; (b) Summarise any outstanding requirements which must be complied with for the issue of a NZ Airworthiness Certificate to any models covered by the Type Acceptance Certificate. Foreign Type Certificate Details Type Certificate: Certificat de Navigibilité de Type Numéro 38 Issued by: Manufacturer: Model: Engines: Propellers: MCTOW Ministère des Transports - Secrétariat Général a l Aviation Civile Reims Aviation S.A. FA152 Lycoming O-235-L2C McCauley 1A103/TCM6958 1670 lb. Noise Category: French Noise Certificate Supplied/FAR 36 plus amendments 1-5 The certification basis of the FA152 is AIR 2052 with amendments at 5.11.65. The full details on this airworthiness standard are unknown, although it was also used for the MS 880 aircraft which was accepted here. However a fax from Reims Aviation states that once the FA152 had been certified by the DGAC they also obtained FAA certification in the US under TC No. A13EU. The certification basis for this is CAR 3 including amendment 3-4, the same as the parent Cessna 150 series. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Para 21.41, as CAR 3 is the predecessor to FAR Part 23 which is the basic standard for Normal Category Airplanes called up under Appendix C. There are no non-compliances and no special conditions have been prescribed by the Director under 21.23. Reims stated the FoT aircraft, S/N 0379, was eligible for certification under A13EU, although only TC 38 was referenced on the aircraft dataplate. The TCDS for A13EU states that a US airworthiness certificate may be issued on the basis of a Certificate of Airworthiness for Export signed by a representative of the DGAC containing a statement of compliance with CAR Part 3 and TC No.A13EU. No such statement was available for Serial No. 0379 so it was type accepted in NZ under the French TC, the same as the previous examples of Reims Cessna aircraft. (Examples of the FRA150L [ZK-FWW and ZK-TDI] and F152 [ZK-JCP] have been registered here.) 13 September 1996 1 TAR 96/09 Reims Cessna FA152
Type Acceptance Application The applicant for New Zealand type acceptance was from the importer of the First-of-Type example, Ms Elly Blanche, by CA 24021/02 dated 8 August 1996. Type Acceptance Certificate No.96/09 was granted on 13 September 1996. Type Data The type data requirements of NZCAR Part 21B Para 21.43 have been satisfied by supply of the following documents: (1) Type certificate: French DGAC TC No.38 Type Certificate Data Sheet: French DGAC No.107 - Copy supplied by Reims (2) Airworthiness design requirements: CAR 3 already held by the CAA (3) Certification compliance listing: Not supplied. However a full set of type data for the parent Cessna 152 Series is already held by the CAA (4) Flight manual: The Cessna Pilot s Operating Handbook for the particular FA152 Model is listed under Note 3 to FAA TC A13EU. For the 1982 Manual FA152 the applicable POH is Cessna P/N D1211-13PH - Already CAA Approved as AIR 2181 The FoT aircraft had been imported from England. The Flight Manual contained a cover page and two sets of additional pages required by the UK CAA: (i) Additional Limitations and Information for United Kingdom Certification - One page which listed the applicable Cessna POH for the various Reims Cessna models and years, and which also required the performance to be factored - The take-off distance to be increased by 5% and the rate of climb reduced by 60 ft/min. (ii) CAA Supplement 1 Issue 1 - Additional Information for British Certification - A five page supplement with some additional general information on Limitations, Emergency and Normal Procedures and Performance. Air 2181 was adopted as the flight manual for the FA152 without any of the UK CAA pages as it has been type accepted on exactly the same basis as a standard Cessna A152 Aerobat. (5) Maintenance manuals, IPC and service data for the aircraft: Cessna Maintenance Manual D2064-1-13 - Already held by the CAA Cessna Parts Catalogue D657-1-12 - Already held by the CAA (6) Maintenance manuals for engine and propeller: Already held by the CAA (7) Agreement from manufacturer to supply updates of data in (4), (5) and (6): Already held by the CAA for Cessna, engine and propeller manuals.
