TYPE CERTIFICATE DATA SHEET NO. A18EU
This data sheet, which is part of Type Certificate No. A18EU, prescribes conditions and limitations under which the product for
which the Type Certificate was issued meets the airworthiness requirements of the Civil Air Regulations.
Type Certificate Holder Textron Aviation Inc.
One Cessna Boulevard
Wichita, Kansas 67215
Type Certificate Holder Record Cessna Aircraft Company transferred to
Textron Aviation Inc. on July 29, 2015
Type Certificate (TC) A18EU was transferred from Reims Aviation S.A., 51 Aerodrome de Reims-Prunay, Reims, France, to
Cessna Aircraft Company, Wichita, Kansas, USA, on December 11, 2006. Coincident with this transfer, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) has accepted the status of State of Design and State of Manufacture as defined by Annex 8 to the
Convention of International Civil Aviation. Prior to December 11, 2006, products identified under TC A18EU were approved by
the FAA in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) appropriate to Imported Products (FAR §21.29). Effective
December 11, 2006, and after, these products are to be considered domestic products for the purpose of design certification,
continued airworthiness, and administration under FAR §21.21 becomes appropriate.
