Type Acceptance Report - CESSNA 310 Series

Photo Survey Ltd, dated 6 September 2002. The first-of-type example was serial number 310P0199 registered ZK-DTM. Type Acceptance was granted on 1 October 2002. Revision 1 to this report combined the previous two 310B and 310P reports, and added all the other variants of the 310 Series not previously included. This was at the request of the type certificate holder, who has provided access to all technical publications. The 310 was Cessna's first post-WW2 twin-engined production aircraft, and the first with a tricycle undercarriage configuration, deliveries commencing late in 1954. Equipped with 240 hp pressure-carburetted engines in slimline nacelles, the 310 uniquely carried all its fuel in tuna shaped wingtip tanks. The compact dimensions were sized to fit in a standard T-hangar. The 310B is structurally identical to the original 310 model, but has O-470-M engines, redesigned instrument panel and MTOW increased from 4600 to 4700 lb. (The 310A was the first model used by the USAF as the U-27A [later redesignated U-3A]) The first major upgrade was the 310C of 1959, being fitted with more powerful fuel-injected 260 hp engines. There were incremental improvements over the years, along with a gradual increase in MAUW. The swept vertical fin was introduced to the 310D of 1960, and an extra cabin window was added in the 310F. The 310G introduced new canted fuel tanks, and the 310I had the first baggage compartment engine nacelles. The 310K replaced the rear two windows on each side with a single unit and the 310L had a one-piece front windscreen. The 310P was a development of the previous 310N with some 14 minor modifications. The major ones were the incorporation of the 411 type nose gear, removal of the three-inch propeller extension (per Model 320), revised static ports (for similarity with the turbocharged version), revised flap gearbox (with pre-select system) and installation of a ventral fin. The 310P model year also introduced a turbocharged version using the larger 285 hp engine. The 310Q model had a redesigned rear cabin with a higher ceiling and skylight window. The final production models were the 310R and T310R which had the nose and luggage locker lengthened by 32 inches. The first 310 in New Zealand was ZK-BSY in July 1957, followed by 310B ZK-REX. 310G ZK-CFG was registered in 1963 and 310L ZK-DLP. There have been three 310Q aircraft ZK-DRK, ZK-KIM and ZK-OIL. There has been one 310R model ZK-ETM. Type Acceptance Report Rev.1 : 24 August 2017 TAR 96/03 – Cessna 310 Series 5 4.
