Type Acceptance Report Revision 2 – 22 November 2010 TAR 3/21B/21 — Piper PA-34 Series

July 2003 to the PA-34-220T Seneca V based on validation of FAA Type Certificate A7SO, and includes the Continental L/TSIO-360-RB engine covered by FAA Type Certificate No.E9CE. There are no special requirements for import into New Zealand. This report was raised to Revision 1 to include the 1973 Model PA-34-200 Seneca. The first-of-type example was serial number 34-7450082 registered ZK-XYZ. The opportunity was also taken to update the format and to amalgamate the previous separate reports for the Seneca III and V variants. Type acceptance was granted on 27 August 2007. Revision 2 was issued to add the PA-34-220T Seneca IV. The applicant was the importer, and the first-of-type was serial number 3448048 registered ZK-BJM. The manufacturer also took the opportunity to apply for type acceptance of the Seneca V when equipped with both the EFIS options (Avidyne Entegra and Garmin G600). Type acceptance of all three variants was granted on 22 November 2010. Introduced in 1972 the Seneca is basically a twin-engined version of the PA-32 Cherokee Six, initially with twin 200hp Lycoming engines and counter-rotating propellers. For the Seneca II in 1975 Piper changed to six-cylinder turbocharged Continental powerplant with other detail changes. In 1981 the new Seneca III had higher rated engines and MAUW increase, along with a new instrument panel, one-piece windshield and larger electrically- actuated flaps. The Seneca IV produced from 1994-97 in limited numbers had minimal changes, the most obvious one being new engine cowlings with “axisymmetric” inlets. The Seneca V is a development of the Seneca IV with improved engines and a new engine instrumentation system. Specific major detail changes include new overhead switch/dome panel, sun visors and headliner; two-bladed Hartzell propellers fitted as standard; new variant engines with power increased to 220 bhp continuous; new 2” engine instruments arranged vertically with a separate digital display monitoring panel (DDMP); new shaped fibreglass cowling with axisymmetric inlets; battery relocated from the nose to the aft baggage compartment; right aft facing seat deleted and an entertaining/executive console installed as standard equipment; new interior colours and materials; and rudder trim tab is changed from an anti-servo to a servo tab with increased travel, to reduce SE climb forces. TAR 3/21B/21 – Piper PA-34 Series Revision 2 – 22 November 2010 4 Type Acceptance Report 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 No. A7SO – Model PA-34 Seneca series FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet number A7SO at Revision 14 dated June 1, 2001 – Model PA-34-200 (Seneca) approved 7 May 1971 – Model PA-34-200T (Seneca II) approved July 18, 1974 – Model PA-34-220T (Seneca III) approved December 17, 1980 – Model PA-34-220T (Seneca IV) approved November 17, 1993 – Model PA-34-220T (Seneca V) approved December 11, 1996 (2) Airworthiness design requirements: (i) Airworthiness Design Standards: The certification basis of the PA-34-200 Seneca is Part 23 of the Federal Aviation Regulations effective February 1, 1965, as amended by 23-1 through 23-6 effective August 1, 1967, with three paragraphs updated to a later amendment status. For later variants of the Seneca the original certification basis was retained except that individual paragraphs were updated to various later amendment dates as listed on the TCDS. The same principle was applied to approval of the Avidyne Entegra in the Seneca V, plus the HIRF Special Condition. For the Garmin G600 installation FAR 23 at Amendment 23-59 was applied for installation specific items only. This is an acceptable certification basis in accordance with NZCAR Part 21B Para §21.41 and Advisory Circular 21-1, as 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 NZCAR §21.23. (ii) Special Conditions: (PA-34-220T Seneca V with Avidyne Entegra Systems) 23-175-SC – Protection of Systems for High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF) – Each system that performs critical functions must be designed and installed to ensure there is no adverse effect on continued operational capability when exposed to external electromagnetic HIRF. (iii) Equivalent Level of Safety Findings: Nil (iv) Airworthiness Limitations: See the applicable Maintenance Manuals. (3) Aircraft Noise and Engine Emission Standards: (i) Environmental Standard: The first Model PA-34 to have to meet noise requirements was the Seneca III/IV, which has been certificated under FAR Part 36 through Amendment 36-9. The Seneca V was shown to meet FAR 36 Appendix G through Amendment 36-16. Revision 2 – 22 November 2010 TAR 3/21B/21 — Piper PA-34 Series 5 Type Acceptance Report (ii) Compliance Listing: Seneca III/IV – Corrected FAR 36 Appendix G Noise Level is 71.4 dB(A) with the 2-blade propeller and 74.2 dB(A) with the 3-blade propeller. (See AFM §4.53) Seneca V – Corrected FAR 36 Appendix G Noise Level is 78.5 dB(A) with the 2- blade propeller and 75.6 dB(A) with the 3-blade propeller. The ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 10 noise levels are 79.9 dB(A) [2-blade] and 77.6 dB(A) [3-blade]. (See POH/AFM Section 4.53 Noise Level.)
