Type Acceptance Details The application for New Zealand type acceptance of the Model 195 was from the importer B B Aviation, dated 13 August 2013. The first-of-type example was serial number 7410, registered ZK-BEB. The Cessna 190 Series is a five-seat high-wing all-metal monoplane with fixed undercarriage powered by a radial engine. Type Acceptance Certificate No. 4/21B/5 was granted on 15 November 2013 to the Cessna 190/195 Series based on validation of FAA Type Certificate A-790. Specific applicability is limited to the coverage provided by the operating documentation supplied. There are no special requirements for import into New Zealand. The Cessna Model 190 was essentially an enlarged all-metal development of the pre-war Airmaster aircraft, which was renowned for its efficient performance. The Model 195A introduced in 1953 had a larger split flap, changed elevator shape and improved pitot-static installation. The TCDS states the four models are the same except for the engine installation, and each model has the same list of eligible serial numbers. FAA Letter L115W-12-807 dated November 28, 2012, states the “TCDS was written in such a manner to permit a tremendous amount of latitude (unlike more recent TCDS’s) with respect to approved engine configurations. .. all eligible serial numbers Model 195, 190, 195A and 195B are FAA approved for any of the engines listed on TCDS A-790. Additionally there is no further FAA approval required for those various airplane/engine combinations identified on the TCDS. There is no need to alter the original Cessna airplane ID plate.” There has been one previous example of the Cessna 195 on the NZ Civil Aircraft Register, serial number 7706 which was registered ZK-MWY. This was issued with a temporary airworthiness certificate in the Restricted Category valid for three months in December 1987, pending supply of type data. Unfortunately the aircraft was destroyed in an accident in January 1988 and the validation process was never completed.
