Type Acceptance Report TAR 99/21B/4 – Diamond DA20-C1

Canada had granted an exemption to Diamond to allow the DA20-C1 to be approved for 800 kg MAUW and night operations. This removed the need for AFM Supplement 4 and any reference to the FAA type certificate. Therefore type acceptance of the DA20 can now be based solely on the State-of-Design type certificate A-191. This revision also added details up to the latest Issue of the TCDS, including the major modification for the Garmin G500 EFIS installed during production under STC number SA18-63. Type acceptance was granted on 3 February 2023. Type and Model History: The Diamond DA20 is a version of the Austrian HOAC DV20, developed in Canada for the US market with some modifications such as a redesigned instrument panel. (The DV20 was derived from the HK36 Dimona powered glider.) The DA20-A1 was the first Model, fitted with the Rotax 912 F3 engine. Later versions of the 912 Series were subsequently available, and can be retrofitted by Drawing or Service Bulletin. When fitted with the 912 S3 engine under a factory upgrade program the aircraft is known as the DA20/100. The second Model was the DA20-C1, fitted with the 135 hp Continental IO-240B engine. Initially Sensenich and Hoffman fixed-pitch propellers were approved for the DA20-C1, but all examples of the latter have now been withdrawn from service, and it has been deleted from the type certificate. Another option is the MT 175 R 150-2Ca propeller which can be installed under STC SA07-41. Type Acceptance Report TAR 99/21B/4 – Diamond DA20-C1 Rev.2 : 3 February 2023 4 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: Transport Canada Type Certificate Number A-191 Type Certificate Data Sheet number A-191 at Issue 18 dated July 11, 2022 – Model DA20-A1 approved July 29, 1994 – Model DA20-C1 approved December 19, 1997 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: The Canadian certification basis of the DA20 Series is Canadian Airworthiness Manual (AWM) Chapter 523-VLA first Edition dated 30 June, 1993 (Specifically AWM Subchapters B and C, excluding items 523-VLA.203 (b)(1) through (b)(3) which are applicable to IFR operations only; refer DOT Issue Paper G-1, dated 25 April, 1994. [AWM 523-VLA incorporates the requirements of JAR- VLA effective 26 April 1990, through Amendment VLA/91/1 effective 1 January 1991, by direct reference.]) plus Canadian AWM Chapter 516 (noise requirements). For DA20-C1 aircraft fitted with the G500 EFIS paragraph 523- VLA.1311 at change number 523.VLA-1 was added. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B paragraph §21.41, as JAR-VLA is accepted as an equivalent standard for VFR non-Air Transport operations per Advisory Circular 21-1A. There are no non- compliances and no special conditions have been prescribed by the Director under §21.23. Per AC 21-1A with an engine and propeller type certificated under FAR Parts 33 and 35 respectively, the DA20 Series is eligible for all types of operations except for Air Transport under Part 135. (ii) Special Conditions: Nil (iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings: DA20-A1 equipped with Rotax 912 A3 engine: AWM 523-VLA.203(a) – Transport Canada letter 5010-A518 (AARDD) dated June 22, 1995 – Diamond requested use of the Rotax 912A3 engine certified to JAR 22, Appendix H, pending completion of FAR 33 certification of the 912F3 variant, on the basis the engines were very similar and some of the FAR 33 testing applied to the 912A3. The ELOS was only valid for 100 examples and required confirmation of SB and ICA compliance. DA20-C1 with G500 EFIS: AWM 523-VLA.1311(a)(5) – Change 523-VLA-1 (Issue Paper G-03) – DA20-C1 with G500 EFIS does not have an independent secondary (standby) attitude instrument. This was accepted on the basis of comparison with the original configuration of the conventional instruments and their mechanical failure mode, the higher reliability of the G500 and that the aircraft is limited to VFR operations. Type Acceptance Report Rev.2 : 3 February 2023 TAR 99/21B/4 – Diamond DA20-C1 5 (iv) Exemptions: Transport Canada Exemption No. 123-2005-NCR/RCN dated 20 July 2005, to permit certification of the DA20-C1 at a Maximum Approved Take-off Mass (Weight) of not more than 800 kg (1764 lbs). (v) Airworthiness Limitations: See the applicable Maintenance Manual Chapter 4.
