Certification Basis

Part 4(a) of the Civil Air Regulations effective as amended to April 7, 1950, except paragraph 4a.532(m) (for all models except 7GCBA).

Paragraphs 23.25 and 23.959 of the Federal Aviation Regulations dated February 1, 1965 for Models 7ECA, 7GCAA, 7GCBC, and 7KCAB.

Part 8.10(b) of the Civil Air Regulations effective October 11, 1950 ( Model 7GCBA); and FAR 36, amended thru 36-9 for the Models 7ECA (with Lycoming O-235-K2C engine), 7GCAA, 7GCBC (S/N 1198-80 and up), and 7KCAB.

Approved Type Certificate No. 759 issued October 18, 1945.

Production Basis

None. Prior to original certification of each aircraft manufactured subsequent to May 17, 1982, an FAA representative must perform a detalled inspection for workmanship, materials, and conformity with the approved technical data and a check of the flight characteristics.

Equipment

A plus (+) or minus (-) sign preceding the weight of an optional item indicates the net weight change when that item is installed. Approval for the installation of all items of equipment listed herein has been obtained by the aircraft manufacturer except those items preceded by an asterisk (*). This symbol denotes that approval has been obtained by someone other than the aircraft manufacturer. An item so marked may not have been manufactured under an FAA monitored or approved quality control system; and, therefore, conformity must be determined if the item is not identified by a Form FAA-186, PMA, or other evidence of FAA production approval.
