Type Acceptance Report TAR 98/07 – Beech 1900 Series

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 A24CE FAA TC Data Sheet number A24CE at Revision 123 dated 21 October 2019 – Models 1900 and 1900C Approved November 22, 1983 – Model 1900D Approved March 19, 1991 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: Models 1900/1900C: The certification basis of the models 1900 and 1900C is SFAR 41C, effective September 13, 1982; FAR Part 23 effective February 1, 1965, through Amendments 23-9, 23-11 and 23-14, plus some further paragraphs at a later Amendment date as listed on the TCDS; plus Special Condition No.23-47-CE-5 including Amendments 1 through 4; and some paragraphs of FAR Part 25; and SFAR 27 through Amendment 27-4. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.41, as SFAR 41 is an acceptable equivalent standard for FAR Part 23 certificated aircraft with a MTOW greater than 12,500 lb. as listed in Advisory Circular AC 21-1A, subject to certain conditions noted below: – Airworthiness certificates have been issued to the aircraft by the FAA – Complies – for weights above 12 500 pounds, the additional requirements of SFAR 41 section 4(c) are complied with. (These include: FAR Part 25 performance requirements for take-off, climb, and approach performance; gust load standards; smoke evacuation design; and engine rotation, restarting, and cooling design.) In respect of aircraft performance for the Beech 1900C additional modifications are required to achieve this. Note 8 on the TCDS lists the drawings required to meet ICAO Annex 8. Beech advise that Dwg 118-005003 applies to aircraft for NZ. This drawing tells the user to remove the FAA Approved POH/AFM and replace it with the ICAO FAA Approved POH/AFM. The aircraft complies, as this is the manual accepted in NZ. (Otherwise the airworthiness certificate must be endorsed that above 5700 kg. the aircraft does not meet the airworthiness requirements of ICAO Annex 8.) Raytheon in letter reference 940-98-07-023 dated July 6, 1998, confirmed the 1900C complies with the requirements of SFAR 41.4(c) including smoke evacuation design, engine rotation and cooling design. – the exception of SFAR 41 section 5(b)(1) is not applied – Complies – The Beech 1900C is eligible for FAR Part 135 Air Transport operations in the U.S. Type Acceptance Report Rev.1 : 10 March 2022 TAR 98/07 – Beech 1900 Series 5 – for weights above 12 500 pounds, the applicant provides evidence that FAR 25.853(a) (compartment interior requirements) in force on 6 March 1995 is complied with, (per FAR 135.170.) – Complies – See Beech Report 1900E212 which shows that all 1900 Series environmental and cockpit components within the occupied portion of the fuselage are constructed of materials which meet the requirements of FAR 25.853 or are of a size which will not contribute significantly to the propagation of a fire. There are no non-compliances and no special conditions have been prescribed by the Director under §21.23. Model 1900D: The certification basis of the Model 1900D was updated to FAR 23, including Amendment 34, introduction of the Commuter Category (which replaces SFAR 41). Two Exemptions were granted by the FAA, Special Condition 23-ACE-48A applied and four Equivalent Safety Findings were made. These have been reviewed and accepted by CAA. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Para 21.41, as FAR 23 at Amendment 34 is the basic standard for Commuter 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: 1900/1900C: 23-47-CE-5 – Specifies the certification basis of the Beech Model 200, which included a range of special conditions in the areas of propulsion, fuel outlet, fire detection, flight performance, stability and controllability were imposed. This was further extended by Amendment 4 to the Beech 300/1900 Series, which covers requirements for the installation of EFIS instrumentation. (Basically failure modes and warnings, and legibility requirements.) 1900D: 23-ACE-48A – This required protection for systems that perform critical or essential functions from the effects of HIRF and exposure to lightning when an EFIS and autopilot flight director system is incorporated. (iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings: 1900D: §23.781(b) – Propeller control knob shape – ELOS granted based on similarity with the Model B300 – The shape of the knob complied, except it is a full cylinder shape instead of a segment. This was accepted as giving a similar tactile signal to the pilot. §23.1305(g) Fuel Pressure Indicator – Use of fuel low pressure warning annunciators was accepted in lieu of the required fuel pressure indicators, based on pump capacity and Flight Manual procedures, and long experience with this operating philosophy on the King Air. ACE-90-5 §23.1321(d) – Basic T instrument panel arrangement – A variation from strict horizontal alignment with the attitude indicator (AI) was accepted because the ASI and altimeter deviated no more than 10° above and 15° below the AI centreline. ACE-94-1 §23.729(f)(1) – Landing gear warning "Q" switch – The Beech 1900 has a conservative design with respect to when the undercarriage warning sounds. However Beech was allowed a “q” switch to prevent nuisance warnings if the airspeed is below 144 knots, and to also reduce the possibility of the red undercarriage warning lights illuminating at night. Type Acceptance Report TAR 98/07 – Beech 1900 Series Rev.1 : 10 March 2022 6 (iv) Exemptions: 1900D: Exemption No.5078 – Against §23.207(c) – To allow the stall warning margin to be less than 5 kts when the pitch control reaches the stop before aerodynamic stall and the stall warning to be greater than 10 kts or 10% of Vs with 75% max. continuous power. Alternative requirements were proposed appropriate to aircraft with a high power-to-weight ratio. Exemption No.5216 – Against §23.201(e),(f)(4) & (5); §23.203(c)(4) & (5); and §23.1545(b)(5) & (6) – Exemption granted on the basis the stall and ASI marking requirements are inappropriate to this type of high performance aircraft which requires a pilot to be type rated and to operate to FAR 25 type scheduled performance. The aircraft should never be operated near the stall and if so the pitch attitude would clearly indicate an impending stall. (v) Airworthiness Limitations: 1900/C – See Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133 1900D – See Airworthiness Limitations Section, Chapter 5-60 of 1900D AMM (3) Aircraft Noise and Engine Emission Standards: (i) Environmental Standard: The Model 1900/1900C has been certificated for emissions under SFAR 27 through Amendment 27-4, and for noise under FAR Part 36, including Amendments 36-1 through 36-10. The Model 1900D has been certificated for emissions under FAR Part 34 effective September 10, 1990, and for noise under FAR Part 36, including Amendments 36-1 through 36-18. (ii) Compliance Listing: Raytheon Engineering Structural Dynamics Report 1900E1409 – Model 1900D Take-off Noise Test at 17,120 lb. – Take-off Noise Level 81.97 dB(A) (4) Certification Compliance Listing: Beech Engineering Report No.1900E149 Model 1900/1900C FAR Requirements Compliance – Revision B dated 23 June 1986 Beech Engineering Report No.1900E212 Model 1900/1900C/1900C-1 (C-12J) /1900D Material Burn Test – Oct 5, 1983 – Revision A dated 31 August 1994 Beech Engineering Report 1900E888 – Model 1900D Certification Compliance Checklist – January 18, 1991 FAA Record of Compliance Letter No. 940-00-11-201 – F.A.R.

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. The Rules may have changed since that date and 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.
