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 1A15 FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet no. 1A15 at Revision 34 dated August 7, 2006 – Model PA-24 approved June 20, 1957 – Model PA-24-250 approved April 16, 1958 – Model PA-24-260 approved June 19, 1964 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: The certification basis of the Piper Model PA-24 Comanche is CAR 3, effective November 1, 1949, including Amendments 3-1 through 3-12 effective April 13, 1954. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.41 and Advisory Circular 21-1A, because CAR 3 is the predecessor to FAR Part 23 which is the basic standard for Normal Category Airplanes called up under Part 21 Appendix C. There are no non-compliances and no special conditions have been prescribed by the Director under §21.23. (ii) Special Conditions: Nil (iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings: Nil (iv) Airworthiness Limitations: Nil (3) Aircraft Noise and Engine Emission Standards: Not applicable. (4) Certification Compliance Listing: Piper Report 900 – Model PA-24 Substantiation at 2600 lb. and 180 hp Piper Report 902 – Model PA-24 Proposed CAA Aircraft Specification Piper Report 936 – Model PA-24 Type Inspection Report Piper Report 982 – Type Inspection Report PA-24”250” – Installation of Lycoming Engine Model O-540 and Increase in Gross Weight from 2500 lbs. to 2900 lbs. Piper Engineering Report 1000 – Substantiation of Piper Model PA-24 with Lycoming O-540 and Increased Gross Weight Piper Engineering Report 1065 – Substantiation of Piper 1961 Model PA-24”250” (5) Flight Manual: The TCDS calls up the Model PA-24 Airplane Flight Manual – Piper Report 934 Approved June 19, 1957, and revised March 7, 1958. The applicant requested the use of an alternative Flight Manual that was produced by the International Type Acceptance Report Rev.2 : 4 July 2012 TAR 99/19 – Piper PA-24 5 Comanche Society and published by Aircraft Publications of Austin, Texas. It has been FAA Approved and includes all the information in Piper Report 934. The rest of the document appears very well produced in the GAMA Specification No.1 format, and contains detailed procedures and performance data and technical data that have been taken from original Piper publications. This document is accepted by the FAA as an alternative to the Flight Manual specified on the TCDS, and has therefore been accepted as the Flight Manual in New Zealand. It has the advantage of being readily available and covers the entire 180 hp serial number range, replacing three separate Piper manuals.
