Type Acceptance Report TAR 6/21B/14 – Cessna 400 Series

North Shore Aviation Services Ltd, dated 14 November 2005. The first-of-type example was serial number 421B-0504 registered ZK-LOY. Also included in this first issue of the report was type acceptance of the Cessna 425. The application for this was from Lakeland Helicopters (1989) Ltd dated 4 December 2005. The first-of-type example was serial number 425-0171, registered ZK-LHL. The Cessna 400 Series is a low-wing all-metal twin engined light executive or commuter airliner with between 6 and 10 seats. Type Acceptance Certificate No. 6/21B/14 was granted on 8 December 2005 to the 1974 Model 421B, while Type Acceptance was granted on 4 April 2006 to the Model 425, both based on validation of FAA Type Certificate number A7CE. 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 model years of the Cessna 400 Series not previously included. This was at the request of the type certificate holder, who has provided access to all technical publications. The first model in the 400 Series was the 411, which was Cessna's entry into the eight seat cabin class twin market that had previously been dominated by the Beech Queen Air. From this was developed the 401/402 Series which were simpler and lighter with lower powered direct-drive engines. They were similar except the 401 was optimised for corporate transport with fewer seats and a smaller c.g. range than the 402, which was configured for commuter and freighter work. The 421 was the first pressurised model and was developed from the 411A. The Model 414 was basically a combination of the pressurised fuselage of the 421 with the lighter wing of the 402 Series. The 425 Corsair was essentially the 421C with 450 shp PT6A turbine engines, with structural strengthening to allow the increased MAUW of 8200 lb and the horizontal tail of the Model 404. A mid-production update increased the takeoff weight and made other improvements, and this version was marketed as the Conquest I. A number of developments were made to the 400 Series over the years, which became available on all variants. The most obvious of these was a lengthened nose with increased size luggage locker, plus weight increases and improvements to the engine, turbocharger and aircraft systems. Later aircraft had an increased span bonded wet-wing without tip- tanks and a redesigned trailing-arm undercarriage. The first examples of the 400 Series on the New Zealand register were two Model 402 demonstrators in 1968 for Rex Aviation, ZK-CSX and ZK-CSZ. The first Model 414 was ZK-KSW for Wright Machinery in 1976, while the first example of the pressurised 421C was ZK-DCN first operated by the Ministry of Transport in 1979. Type Acceptance Report TAR 6/21B/14 – Cessna 400 Series Rev.1 : 22 May 2018 6 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 A7CE FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet A7CE at Revision 49 dated July 29, 2015 – Model 411 approved August 17, 1964 – Models 401 and 402 approved September 20, 1966 – Model 411A approved January 26, 1967 – Model 421 approved May 1, 1967 – Model 401A approved October 29, 1968 – Model 421A approved November 19, 1968 – Model 402A approved January 3, 1969 – Model 414 approved September 24, 1969 – Models 401B and 402B approved November 12, 1969 – Model 421B approved April 28, 1970 – Model 421C approved October 28, 1975 – Model 414A approved September 30, 1977 – Model 402C approved September 25, 1978 – Model 425 approved July 1, 1980 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: The certification basis of the initial Cessna 400 Series is CAR 3 dated May 15, 1956, as amended by 3-1 through 3-5 and 3-8. For the Model 421B some paragraphs of FAR 23 up to Amendment 23-7 were added. For the Models 414A/421C additional paragraphs of FAR 23 at Amendment 23-14 were added or substituted. Three equivalent level of safety findings were made. Similar updates were made to the certification basis of the Model 402C with paragraphs from FAR 23 up to Amendment 23-23. For the Model 425 paragraphs of FAR 23 at Amendment 23-21 were added, plus a paragraph of FAR 25 at Amendment 23-43, plus SFAR 27 at Amendment 27-3 and Special Conditions 23-93-CE-12. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Paragraph §21.41 and Advisory Circular 21-1A, because CAR Part 3 is the predecessor of FAR Part 23, which is the basic standard for Normal Category Airplanes called up under NZCAR 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: 23-93-CE-12 – Because the 425 had an established V MO /M MO and high speed capabilities for a turbopropeller-powered airplane, the FAA required Special Conditions covering lateral, directional and longitudinal stability; electric trim tabs; failsafe criteria and accessibility for the airframe; and establishing an engine in-flight restart capability envelope. Type Acceptance Report Rev.1 : 22 May 2018 TAR 6/21B/14 – Cessna 400 Series 7 (iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings: 1976 402B and 414A and up, 414A and 421C: 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. CAR 3.637 Power-plant Fire Protection; This requires a means to shut off the flow of flammable fluids into the engine compartment of multi-engined aircraft. This is not provided for the air conditioning and landing gear hydraulic systems. This was accepted because the lines are either steel or aluminium end fittings with a fire sleeve and have passed a flame test to show there is no leakage in a fire. In addition a number of other design features minimise the discharge of fluid in the event of a pressure or suction line rupture below what is considered a hazardous quantity. (iv) Airworthiness Limitations: See TCDS A7CE Note 3. (3) Aircraft Noise and Engine Emission Standards: (i) Environmental Standard: 1976 and later Cessna 400 Series have been certificated for noise under FAR Part 36, including Amendments 36-1 through 36-4 (Model 421C), 36-7 (Model 402C) and 36-10 (Models 414A and 425). (ii) Compliance Listing: See Advisory Circular 36-1H Appendix 7 and Flight Manuals (Section 4).

A Design Rule reference in the Means of Compliance column indicates the Design Rule was directly equivalent to the CAR requirement, and compliance is achieved for the basic aircraft type design by certification against the original Design Rule. 2. The CAR Compliance Tables above were correct at the time of issue of the Type Acceptance Report. The Rules may have changed since then and compliance should be checked individually. 3. Some means of compliance above are specific to a particular model/configuration. Compliance with Part 91/119 operating requirements should be checked in each case, particularly oxygen system capacity and emergency equipment.
