 Type Acceptance Report

Executive Summary
New Zealand Type Acceptance has been granted to the Cessna F150/F152 and Aerobat
Series based on validation of FAA Type Certificate number A13EU. There are no special
requirements for import.

All models listed under the FAA type certificate have been type accepted in New Zealand,
and are now eligible for the issue of an Airworthiness Certificate in the Standard Category
in accordance with NZCAR §21.177, subject to any outstanding New Zealand operational
requirements being met. (See Section 5 of this report for a review of compliance of the
basic type design with the operating Rules.)

NOTE: The information in this report was correct as at the date of issue. The report is
generally only updated when an application is received to revise the Type
Acceptance Certificate. For details on the current type certificate holder and any
specific technical data, refer to the latest revision of the State-of-Design Type
Certificate Data Sheet referenced herein.

1. Introduction
This report details the basis on which Type Acceptance Certificate No. 96/09 was granted
in the Standard Category in accordance with NZCAR Part 21 Subpart B.

Specifically, the report aims to:

(a) Specify the foreign type certificate and associated airworthiness design standard
used for type acceptance of the models in New Zealand; and

(b) Identify any special conditions for import applicable to any models covered by the
Type Acceptance Certificate; and

(c) Identify any additional requirements which must be complied with prior to the issue
of a NZ Airworthiness Certificate or for any subsequent operations.

The report covers all models included on the State-of-Design type certificate which have
been granted type acceptance in New Zealand. Appendix 1 details which models have been
type accepted in accordance with the provisions of CAR Part 21B and which were
certificated prior to that under NZCAR Section B.9 and are now type accepted under the
transitional arrangements of Part 21 Appendix A(c).

3. Application Details and Background Information

The applicant for New Zealand type acceptance of the 1980 FA152 was from the importer
of the First-of-Type example, Ms Elly Blanche, by Form 24021/02 dated 8 August 1996.
The first-of-type example was serial number 0379 registered ZK-JST. The Cessna
F150/F152 series is a two-seat high-wing all-metal single-engine light training aircraft.

Type Acceptance Certificate No.96/09 was granted on 13 September 1996 to the 1982
Reims Aviation FA152 based on validation of DGAC Type Certificate number 38. There
are no special requirements for import into New Zealand.

Revision 1 to this report added all the other variants and model years of the F150/F152
Series not previously included. This was at the request of the type certificate holder, who
has provided access to all technical publications.

Reims Aviation was a French company that manufactured US-designed Cessna aircraft
under license, using a kit of parts supplied by Cessna. These included the F150, F152,
F172, F177RG, F182, F337, F406 and their variants. These aircraft were identical to the
US-built aircraft, but because they were produced in France they were given DGAC Type
Certificates. Reims-produced models had the same designation as the Cessna model,
except for the addition of an F prefix. The certification basis of the FA152 was stated on
the French TCDS as AIR 2052 with amendments at 5.11.65. However it is known that the
French type certificate was issued on the basis of the FAA type certificate. Reims Aviation
stated the first-of-type aircraft, S/N 0379, was eligible for certification under A13EU,
although only TC 38 was referenced on the aircraft dataplate.

The Reims FRA150 model, for which there is no Cessna equivalent, was a version with a
130 hp engine and was developed for Reims by Miles Aviation & Transport (R & D) Ltd
and approved by the UK CAA, and subsequently adopted under the DGAC type certificate.
A new flight manual was approved for the model, and there were amendments to the MM
and IPC. The FAA TCDS just calls up the same year A150 Flight Manual, which
presumably had a Supplement to cover the new engine. The O-240 engine could also be
fitted to the FA150 model under a Reims modification. For the 1972-77 years Reims only
produced the FRA150 version of the Aerobat. No FA150M at all were manufactured. (See
Cessna Service Newsletter 94-6 serialisation list.) The DGAC type certificate also has a
Model FRA150N which was approved on 6 June 1977. This was clearly overtaken by the
Model 152, as there are no production examples of the FRA150N listed.)

Following the bankruptcy of Reims Aviation Cessna assumed responsibility for all the
license-built models except the F406, and the DGAC type certificates were transferred
back to the FAA as State-of-Design.

There have been previous examples of the FRA150L [ZK-FWW and ZK-TDI] and the
F152 [ZK-JCP] on the New Zealand Civil Aircraft Register.

4. NZCAR §21.43 Data Requirements

The type data requirements of NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.43 have been satisfied by supply
of the following documents, or were already held by the CAA:

(1) State-of-Design Type certificate:

FAA Type Certificate Number A13EU
FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet A13EU at Revision 15 dated August 22, 2014
– Model F150F approved May 27, 1965
– Model F150G approved December 22, 1966
– Model F150H approved October 13, 1967
– Model F150J approved September 5, 1968
– Models F150K and FA150K approved January 8, 1970
– Models F150L and FA150L approved December 17, 1970
– Model FRA150L approved February 9, 1972
– Models F150M, FA150M and FRA150M approved November 21, 1974
– Models F152 and FA152 approved June 24, 1977

(2) Airworthiness design requirements:

(i) Airworthiness Design Standards:
The certification basis of the Reims Cessna F150/F152 Series under FAA Type
Certificate A13EU is Part 3 of the Civil Air Regulations dated May 15, 1956, as
amended by 3-4. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with
NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.41 and Advisory Circular 21-1A, as CAR 3 was the
predecessor to FAR 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.

(ii) Special Conditions:

Nil

(iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings:

1977 Model 150 and 152:
CAR 3.757 Airspeed Indicator; CAR 3.778(a) Operating Limitations – The use of
indicated instead of calibrated airspeed was accepted provided the approved calibration data
presented in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook is available to the pilot. ASI calibration data must be
predicated on flight test.

(iv) Airworthiness Limitations:

Nil

(3) Aircraft Noise and Engine Emission Standards:

(i) Environmental Standard:
The Models 152 and A152 have been certificated under FAR Part 36, including
Amendments 36-1 through 36-5.
(ii) Compliance Listing:

FAR 36 (Amdt. 1-10)/Model 152/A152 – Corrected Noise Level 66.3 dB(A)

152/A152 1670 O-235-L2C 1A103/TCM6958 2600 79.6 79.6

(4) Certification Compliance Listing:

The DGAC type certificate was issued on the basis of the FAA type certificate for
the identical type design, so no separate certification process was followed.

to the equivalent Cessna Model and Year, which was listed on the DGAC TCDS.

NOTES: 1. A Design Rule reference in the Means of Compliance column indicates the Design Rule was
directly equivalent to the CAR requirement, and compliance is achieved for the basic aircraft type
design by certification against the original Design Rule.
2. The CAR Compliance Tables above were correct at the time of issue of the Type Acceptance
Report. Rules may have changed since then and compliance should be checked individually.
3. Some means of compliance above are specific to a particular model/configuration. Compliance
with Part 91/119 operating requirements should be checked in each case, particularly oxygen system
capacity and emergency equipment.
