Type Acceptance Report TAR 11/21B/8 – Piper PA-46 Series

new avionics suite with the Meggitt MAGIC (Meggitt Avionics next Generation Integrated Cockpit) EFIS package. The Meridian was subsequently upgraded in production to have the Avidyne full electronic displays, while the Garmin G1000 system, and still later the G1000NXi became standard. The latest version is marketed as the M500. This report was raised to Revision 1 to add an additional serial number range. The first-of- type was serial number 4697190 registered ZK-UTE. The opportunity was taken to add all other serial number ranges of the two models on the TCDS which have been type accepted. Type Acceptance Report TAR 11/21B/8 – Piper PA-46 Series Rev.1 : 31 October 2019 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) ICAO Type certificate: FAA Type Certificate Number A25SO FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet no. A25SO at Revision 15 dated August 6, 2006 – Model PA-46-310P approved September 27, 1983 – Model PA-46-500TP approved September 27, 2000 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: The certification basis of the PA-46-310P is FAR Part 23, including Amendment 23-25 effective March 6, 1980, plus two paragraphs at a later Amendment date as noted on the TCDS. One special condition was imposed. For the PA-46-500TP the same basic Amendment 23-25 status was used, but a large number of paragraphs were updated to a later Amendment date. There was one equivalent level of safety finding, and one further Special Condition. The individual paragraph Amendment date was further updated for installation specific items for aircraft with the Avidyne Entegra or the Garmin G1000 systems fitted, plus the special condition for HIRF. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B paragraph §21.41 and Advisory Circular 21-1A, 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: PA-46-310P: 23-ACE-53 HERF for Electronic Displays – For all essential instruments and systems it must be shown that no single failure or combination would prevent continued safe flight and landing, or such failures are extremely improbable. Appropriate warnings must be provided and the EFIS displays must easily legible under all lighting conditions. Further each system that performs critical functions must be shown to not be adversely affected when exposed to high energy radiated fields. PA-46-500TP: 23-123-SC and 23-154-SC – HIRF – Each system that performs critical functions must be designed and installed so that the operations and capability are not adversely affected when exposed to High Intensity Radiated electromagnetic Fields external to the aircraft. (iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings: PA-46-500TP: Issue Paper F-2 – FAR 23.955(f)(3) Fuel System Pilot Action Required Following Engine Start – The FAA accepted the use of an ON position for the fuel pumps during takeoff, as this provided additional safety in the event of a fuel pump failure with insignificant pilot workload to select AUTOMATIC afterwards or if fuel imbalance occurs. (iv) Airworthiness Limitations: See Note 3 on the TCDS for wing, empennage and fuselage assembly life limits. See also Chapter 4 – Airworthiness Limitations Section in the Maintenance Manual. Type Acceptance Report Rev.1 : 31 October 2019 TAR 11/21B/8 – Piper PA-46 Series 5 (3) Aircraft Noise and Engine Emission Standards: (i) Environmental Standard: The Model PA-46-500TP has been certificated under FAR Part 34.11 effective September 10, 1990, and FAR Part 36, Appendix G Amendments 36-22. (ii) Compliance Listing: See Noise Characteristics on TCDS: Corrected Noise Level of the PA-46-310P is 74.8 dB(A) at maximum 2600 RPM. Corrected Noise Level of the PA-46-500TP is 73.7 dB(A) at 4850 lb MAUW and 76.8 dB(A) at 5092 lb MAUW, with the standard 4-blade propeller at 2000 RPM.

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 that date and should be checked individually. 3. Some means of compliance above are specific to a particular model/configuration. (In the example above this was the PA-46-500TP with Meggitt EFIS installation.) Compliance with Part 91/119 operating requirements should be checked in each case, particularly oxygen system capacity and emergency equipment.
