Introduction

The introduction outlines the purpose of the Type Acceptance Report, which is to document the airworthiness certification standards used for the Cessna Model 441 and summarize any outstanding requirements for obtaining a New Zealand Airworthiness Certificate.

Type Data

This section provides detailed specifications of the Cessna 441, including its type certificate (A28CE), engine specifications (Garrett TPE331-8 Series), propeller types, and maximum certificated takeoff weight (MCTOW) of 9,850 lb. It also discusses the aircraft's compliance with FAR Part 23 and any special conditions.

Additional New Zealand Certification Requirements

This section reviews compliance with additional New Zealand Civil Aviation Rules (CAR) requirements, noting that the Cessna 441 has a type certificated seating capacity of 11, and therefore specific operational requirements apply.

Summary

The summary confirms that the Type Acceptance Certificate No. 1/21B/17 has been granted to the Cessna Model 441, making all serial numbers eligible for a New Zealand Airworthiness Certificate, provided that outstanding operational requirements are met.

Safety notes

Aircraft Certification Unit Type Acceptance Report TAR 1/21B/17 Cessna 441 Conquest Type Acceptance Report 27 April 2001 TAR 1/21B/17 - Cessna 441 i TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 FOREIGN TYPE CERTIFICATE DETAILS 1 TYPE ACCEPTANCE APPLICATION 1 TYPE DATA 2 ADDITIONAL NEW ZEALAND CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS 3 SUMMARY 5 ATTACHMENTS 5 Type Acceptance Report 27 April 2001 TAR 1/21B/17 - Cessna 441 1 Introduction This report details the basis on which Type Acceptance Certificate No.1/21B/17 was granted in the standard category in accordance with NZCAR Part 21 Subpart B. Specifically the report aims to: (a) Record the airworthiness certification standard used for type acceptance of the applicable model in New Zealand; (b) Summarise any outstanding requirements that must be complied with for the issue of a NZ Airworthiness Certificate to any models covered by the Type Acceptance Certificate. Foreign Type Certificate Details Type Certificate: A28CE Issued by: Federal Aviation Administration Manufacturer: Cessna Aircraft Company Model: 441 Engines: Garrett TPE331-8 Series Propellers: Hartzell HC-B3TN-5/T10178B-11 or McCauley 3GFR34C601/93JA-3 MCTOW 9850 lb. Noise Category: FAR Part 36, as amended by 36-1 through 36-6 The certification basis of the Cessna Model 441 is FAR Part 23 effective February 1, 1965, as amended by 23-1 through 23-14 except FAR 23.1385(c) as amended through 23-21; plus Special Conditions 23-74-CE-9. Findings of equivalent safety were made for FAR 23.1189(a), 23.1545 and 23.1583(a). Compliance with ice protection has been demonstrated per FAR 23.1419 at Amendment 23-14. In addition, for Serial Numbers 441-0173 on compliance with FAR 25.1447(c)(2) at Amendment 25-41 is required. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.41, as FAR 23 is the basic standard for Normal Category Airplanes called up under CAR Part 21 Appendix C. There are no non-compliances and no special conditions have been prescribed by the Director under §21.23. Type Acceptance Application The application for New Zealand type acceptance was from the aircraft importer, Garden City Helicopters, dated 2 nd April 2001. The first-of-type example was a 1980 model serial number 441-0141 ex-VH-CFD. It was registered as ZK-NFD and is to be used as an air ambulance. Type Acceptance Report TAR1/21B/17- Cessna 441 27 April 2001 2 Type Acceptance Certificate No.1/21B/17 was granted on 26 April 2001. The Cessna 441 is an 8-11 seat executive aircraft based on a scaled-up Model 421 but with an all-new high aspect ratio bonded wing and AirResearch TPE331 turboprop engines flat rated to 635 shp. The original prototype first flew in 1975 and manufacture ceased in 1984 after construction of serial number 362. There were two basic production series. At s/n 173 Cessna introduced SK441-36 under which the maximum operating altitude was increased from 33 to 35,000 feet, quick-donning oxygen masks were introduced and additional avionics options offered. (This can be retrofitted per SL No. PJ81-1.) From s/n 195 on the lighter McCauley propeller was fitted as standard. The Model 441 experienced some initial problems in service, with at least one in-flight structural break-up due to tailplane failure. Cessna developed a series of fixes including strengthened tailplane attachments and dual elevator trim tab actuators. These changes were retrofitted to the entire fleet and standard from s/n 109 onwards. Type Data The type data requirements of NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.43 have been satisfied by the following documents, copies of most of which were already held by the CAA: (1) Type certificate: FAA Type Certificate A28CE Model 441 issued August 19, 1977 FAA TCDS A28CE at Revision 11 dated August 15, 1999 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: Already held by the CAA (3) Certification compliance listing: Report DM 441-0 Model 441 Type Inspection Report – Basic Aircraft Configuration Cessna Report No. S-441-110 – Model 441 – Structures Data Summary (Incl.

Three findings of equivalent safety were made during Cessna 441 type certification: FAR 23.1189(a) – A firewall shutoff valve was not required provided hydraulic system components on the engine side of the firewall were fireproof and flexible hoses met specified fire resistance criteria. FAR 23.1545 and 23.1583(a) – IAS permitted instead of CAS provided both values are given in the POH/AFM and all placards to meet certification requirements are consistent with instrument markings.

(See POH Page 7-88) Passenger masks are regulated continuous-flow dilution type. Oxygen flow to pax masks is indicated by inflation of a green bag within the oxygen flow bag or by an in-line flow indicator in the plastic supply line. Note the standard 11 cubic foot system is for emergency use only and provides only 10.5 minutes duration oxygen supply for an emergency descent. (For aircraft without SK441-36 duration varies from 13.2 to 19.2 mins. for descent from FL330 or FL100 cabin.) Above 14,500 feet a barometric switch automatically actuates the overhead pax. oxygen door solenoids to deploy drop masks at each passenger seat location. Can also be manually deployed. 91.541 SSR Transponder and Altitude Reporting Equipment Operational requirement – To be determined as applicable 91.543 Altitude Alerting Device - Turbojet or Turbofan N/A – Not turbojet or turbofan powered 91.545 Assigned Altitude Indicator Operational requirement – To be determined as applicable A.15 ELT Installation Requirements To be determined on an individual aircraft basis Civil Aviation Rules Part 135 Subpart F - Instrument and Equipment Requirements PARA: REQUIREMENT: MEANS OF COMPLIANCE: 135.355 Seating and Restraints – Shoulder harness for flight-crew seats FAR 23.785 135.357 Additional Instruments (Powerplant and Propeller) FAR 23.1305 135.359 Night Flight Landing light, Pax compartment Operational requirement – To be determined as applicable 135.361 IFR Operations Speed, Alt, spare bulbs/fuses Operational requirement – To be determined as applicable 135.363 Emergency Equipment (Part 91.523 (a) and (b)) Operational requirement – To be determined as applicable 135.367 Cockpit Voice Recorder N/A – Applies to helicopters with more than 10 passenger seats 135.369 Flight Data Recorder N/A – Applies to helicopters with more than 10 passenger seats 135.371 Additional Attitude Indicator N/A – Not turbo jet or turbofan powered Type Acceptance Report 27 April 2001 TAR 1/21B/17 - Cessna 441 5 Summary Type Acceptance Certificate No. 1/21B/17 has been granted to the Cessna Model 441 and all serial numbers are now eligible for the issue of a New Zealand Airworthiness Certificate in the Standard Category in accordance with CAR §21.177.
