NEW ZEALAND OPERATIONAL RULE REQUIREMENTS 8 ATTACHMENTS 9 APPENDIX 1 9 Type Acceptance Report Rev.1 : 19 September 2018 TAR 95/14 – Cessna 175/R172K/172RG 1 Executive Summary New Zealand Type Acceptance has been granted to the Cessna Model 175 Series, R172K and 172RG based on validation of FAA Type Certificate number 3A17. There are no special requirements for import. All models listed under the FAA type certificate have been type accepted in New Zealand, except for the P172D, which was a short-lived model, and the R172E through R172H, which were military versions. There is also a 1974 Model R172J on the type certificate, but only a single example was produced. The 175 Series, R172K and 172RG 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. 95/14 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 model(s) in New Zealand; and (b) Identify any special conditions for import applicable to any model(s) covered by the Type Acceptance Certificate; and (c) Identify any additional requirements that 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).

Application Details and Background Information The application for New Zealand type acceptance of the Model 175 was from Mr B Ruffell dated 2 October 1995. The first-of-type example was serial number 55658, registered as ZK-BCR. The Model 175 is a high-wing all-metal four-seat single-engined light aircraft with fixed undercarriage. Type Acceptance Certificate No. 95/14 was granted on 12 January 1996 to the Cessna 175 based on validation of FAA Type Certificate number 3A17. Specific applicability is limited to the coverage provided by the operating documentation supplied. There are no special requirements for import into New Zealand. Revision 1 to this report added all the other variants and serial number ranges of the Models 175, R172K and 172RG not previously included. This was at the request of the type certificate holder, who has provided access to all technical publications. The Cessna Model 175 is basically a Model 172 fitted with a Continental 175hp GO-300 geared-engine in a redesigned cowling. However it did not prove popular and was only produced for four years. There have been no model 175s previously in NZ although a full range of type data is held. Also on the type certificate are the R172 versions, which were the Model 172 fitted with a more powerful 210 hp O-360 engines for military customers. A single civil R172J was produced with the 210 hp engine before Cessna introduced the R172K “Hawk XP”. In this

version the O-360 engine was derated to 195 hp at 2600 RPM for noise reduction. The 172RG “Cutlass” is another Model on this type certificate. This is the 172 fitted with an electro-hydraulically operated landing gear similar to the 177RG and 180 hp engine. The first example of the R127K in New Zealand was serial number R172-2019 registered ZK-EJI in December 1976, while the first example of the Model 172RG was serial number 172RG-0192 registered ZK-ETG in February 1980. Type Acceptance Report Rev.1 : 19 September 2018 TAR 95/14 – Cessna 175/R172K/172RG 5 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 3A17 FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet no. 3A17 at Revision 47 dated July 29, 2015 – Model 175 approved January 14, 1958 – Model 175A approved August 24, 1959 – Model 175B approved June 14, 1960 – Model 175C approved September 18, 1961 – Model R172K approved September May 28, 1976 – Model 172RG approved June 1, 1979 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: The certification basis of the Models 175 and R172 Series is Part 3 of the Civil Air Regulations dated May 15, 1956. (For the 1979 on Model R172K FAR 23 paragraph §23.1559 was added.) For the 172RG some additional paragraphs of FAR 23 were added, as noted on the TCDS. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B paragraph §21.41 and Advisory Circular 21-1, because CAR 3 was the predecessor of FAR Part 23 which is the basic standard for small airplanes called up under Appendix C. There are no non-compliances and no special conditions have been prescribed by the Director under paragraph §21.23. (ii) Special Conditions: Nil (iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings: R172K and 172RG: 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 given in the POH is available to the pilot. ASI calibration data must be predicated on flight test. 172RG: CAR 3.430 Fuel System – The fuel system must be arranged so no pump can draw fuel from more than one tank at a time, which is not complied with when the selector is on both. This was accepted because the fuel system has design provisions to prevent introducing air into the system. FAR 23.729(e) Landing Gear Indication System – The elimination of three switches and associated rigging to improve reliability was accepted on the basis of secondary indications that the gear is not retracted, such as buffet and reduced airspeed; and the high wing configuration of the aircraft provides for visual confirmation of the main gear position. (iv) Airworthiness Limitations: See Aircraft Maintenance Manual Type Acceptance Report TAR 95/14 – Cessna 175/R172K/172RG Rev.1 : 19 September 2018 6 (3) Aircraft Noise Standard: (i) Environmental Standard: The Model R172K has been certificated for noise under FAR Part 36, including Amendments 36-1 through 36-6. For the Model 172RG this was updated to include Amendment 36-10. (ii) Compliance Listing: See Advisory Circular 36-1H Appendix 7 and Flight Manuals (Section 4).
