Type Acceptance Report TAR 17/21B/26 – Cessna F337 Series Rev.0 : 30 August 2017 4 3. Application Details and Background Information The application for New Zealand type acceptance was from Twenty Twenty Four Limited, dated 22 May 2017. The first-of-type example was serial no. 0045, registered ZK-SVY. The Cessna F337 Series is a strut-braced high-wing six-seat light aircraft with retractable undercarriage and twin-engines in a front tractor and rear pusher in-line configuration. Type Acceptance Certificate Number 17/21B/26 was granted on 30 August 2017 to the Cessna F337 Series based on validation of FAA Type Certificate A23EU. There are no special requirements for import into New Zealand. Reims Aviation was a French company that manufactured US-designed Cessna aircraft under license, using a kit of parts supplied by Cessna. These included the F150, F152, F172, F177RG, F182, F337, F406 and their variants. These aircraft were identical to the US-built aircraft, but because they were produced in France they were given DGAC Type Certificates. Following the bankruptcy of Reims Aviation Cessna assumed responsibility for all the license- built models except the F406, and the DGAC type certificates were transferred back to the FAA as State-of-Design. The twin-boom “centre-line-thrust” Cessna 337 Skymaster was type certificated in 1964. The 337 followed the typical Cessna annual model evolution of gradual improvements over the years. A turbocharged version was produced from 1967 through to 1971, and reintroduced from 1978. A pressurised version was available from 1973 through to the end of production, though confusingly it was initially known as the T337G with P337xxxxx serial numbers. A new Model P337H was introduced in 1978 separate to the T337H. Reims-produced models had the same designation as the Cessna model, except for the addition of an F prefix. In the case of the pressurised Skymasters, Reims also added a P suffix. There was one major difference with Reims 337 aircraft. In production Reims fitted some aircraft with the Robertson STOL modification under their kit No. CES-RA-337-172, which was a production version of FAA STC SA11EU. They were known as the “ADAC” variant

(Avions à Atterissage et Décollage Court) and the type designation was changed by changing the model prefix to FA or FTA. The ADAC kit consisted of a recontoured wing leading edge cuff (with optional de-ice boots), wing stall fences, conical cambered wing tips, aileron centering springs, an interconnect mechanism to droop the ailerons when flaps are selected, an Automatic Trim spring connect to the elevator, vortex generators on the rear fuselage, vertical fin fairings, and a new heated pitot system with recalibrated ASI. The FA and FTA versions are not listed on the FAA TCDS, because the re-designation is authorised under the STC. All other Reims-Cessna F337 models are covered under the FAA Type Certificate, with the exception of the FTB337G and GA, which are covered by EASA Specific Airworthiness Specification SAS.A.115 (these were the “milirole” versions with four underwing hardpoints, used by the Portugese and some other Air Forces.)

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 A23EU FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet number A23EU at Revision 7 dated July 31, 2012 – Models F337E and FT337E approved March 24, 1970 – Models F337F and FT337F approved April 28, 1971 – Model F337G approved May 11, 1973 – Model FT337GP approved June 22, 1973 – Models F337H and FT337HP approved May 22, 1978 These supersede the original type certificate: DGAC Certificat de Navigabilité de Type Numéro 50 – Reims/Cessna 337 DGAC Fiche de Navigabilité No. 124 – Reims-Cessna F337 et dérivés FAA STC SA11EU issued to Reims Aviation S.A. June 4, 1973 Addendum to STC SA11EU dated 4 June 1973 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: The certification basis of the F337 Series is FAR Part 23 effective February 1, 1965, including Amendments 23-1 through 23-6. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.41, because FAR Part 23 is the basic standard for Normal Category Airplanes called up under Part 21 Appendix C. There are no non-compliances and no additional special conditions have been prescribed by the Director under §21.23. (ii) Special Conditions and Exemptions: Nil (iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings: (1976 Models onwards) FAR §23.1545 and §23.1583(a)(1) Operating Limitations – The use of indicated airspeed instead of calibrated airspeed was accepted provided the approved calibration data presented in the POH is available to the pilot. ASI calibration data must be predicated on flight test. (iv) Airworthiness Limitations: See TCDS Note 4. (3) Aircraft Noise and Engine Emission Standards: Not Applicable Type Acceptance Report TAR 17/21B/26 – Cessna F337 Series Rev.0 : 30 August 2017 6 (4) Certification Compliance Listing: The DGAC type certificate was issued on the basis of the FAA type certificate for the identical type design, so no separate certification process was followed.
