Certification Basis Type Certificate No. 6A6 (Transport Category, CAR 4b, effective July 20, 1950, and
Amendment #1, #3, and #5, except smoke detectors not installed in cargo compartments.)
Production Basis None at this time.
General Dynamics, Convair Division, produced Model 340/440 aircraft, serial numbers 2
through 510, and parts under FAA Production Certificate (PC) Number 605 in San
Diego, California, until 1995. PC 605 became invalid when the Type Certificate (TC)
was transferred to Tracor Flight Systems, Inc. Tracor was issued FAA Production
Certificate 708NM for the production of spare parts and type design changes for the
Model 340/440. The Tracor PC was surrendered in 1998 when the TC was endorsed to
Kelowna Flightcraft, Kelowna, BC, Canada
Equipment 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 (*). The asterisk
denotes that approval has been obtained by someone other than the aircraft manufacturer.
An item marked with an asterisk may not have been manufactured under a FAA
monitored or approved quality control system. Conformity must be determined if the
item is not identified by a Form ACA-186, PMA or other evidence of FAA production
approval.

Model 340 aircraft were not originally equipped for propeller
reverse indication. Hamilton Standard developed one method of
complying with the requirements of CAR Amendment 40-9 by
directly aiding operators and by providing the following drawings to
modify the propeller system to incorporate reverse indicating lights:
SK-33116, SK-33008, SK-29660, SK-32994, SK-29316, SK-
32758, HS-501733 and HS-86415.
