Type Acceptance Details The application for New Zealand type acceptance of the Cessna 120 was from the importer Mr F G Vernon, dated 5 January 2009. The first-of-type example was serial number 11759, registered ZK-XTX. The 120/140 is a two-seat high-wing strut-braced light aircraft. Type Acceptance Certificate No. 9/21B/12 was granted on 30 January 2009 to the Cessna Models 120 and 140 based on validation of FAA Type Certificate number A-768. Specific applicability is limited to the coverage provided by the operating documentation supplied. There are no special requirements for import into New Zealand. The Model 140 was an all-new single-engine design introduced by Cessna after WWII, with all-metal monococque construction except for fabric-covered wings. The Model 120 was an economy version without flaps or rear-quarter window, and with less standard equipment and no electrical system. The Cessna Model 120 was previously type accepted in New Zealand in 1983, but this was only applicable to serial number 11102, registered as ZK-FFK.
