Type Acceptance Report

prototype aircraft, serials 19-1 through 19-3, although these were subsequently considered as equipment trials aircraft rather than military prototypes. Although the TCDS lists the L-18C as a PA-19 all production aircraft have 18-xxxx serial numbers. The civil PA-18 Super Cub is the same as the PA-19, except that the transparent cockpit enclosure on the Army model L-18C is covered in fabric. (A military version of the PA-18 “125” was designated L-21A.) The various versions of the PA-18 are the same except for the different engine installation. The PA-18S Series are the seaplane version of the same model. However the PA-18S”105” (Special) was the same as the basic Model PA-18S except for modifications specifically for use in military training. (See the TCDS Note 3 for details.) The PA-18A Series were specialised versions intended for agricultural use, with the fuselage modified to accept the fitting of a hopper or related accessories in the rear seat area.

A Design Rule reference in the Means of Compliance column indicates the Design Rule was exactly 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. Compliance with Part 91/119 operating requirements should be checked in each case, particularly oxygen system capacity and emergency equipment.
