Good Day All,

This might be a silly question...but i was looking on the FAA site for the Type Certificate Data Sheet for the PA-12 Super Crusier. I am in the market for one. But i cannot seem to find it????

Any reason why this model not there, but all the other ones are, i.e PA-11, PA18, etc?


Thanks

Piper sold off the TCDS some years ago. I think the outfit is called FS 2003 ?? Type Cert #A-780

Type Certificate Holder FS 2003 Corporation
709 Dupont Street, P. O. Box 1678
Bellingham, WA 98227-1678
Type Certificate Ownership Record The New Piper Aircraft, Inc.
2926 Piper Drive
Vero Beach, FL 32960
TC 780 transferred 9-25-00, reissued 3-30-01

FS Corporation has been busy. Checking the FAA TCDS site, I see they have acquired other classic Piper TC's also:
FS 2000 Corp: L14 (TC 760)
FS 2001 Corp: AE-1, HE-1,J5 (TC A-725)
FS 2002 Corp: PA-14 (TC A-797)
FS 2003 Corp: PA-12 (TC A-780)
Very interesting. I wonder what the story is here-- planning to produce new rag-and-tube Pipers? Be nice but I doubt it. Or acquiring TC's to get parts manufacture approval? Univair holds some TC's, apparently for that reason.
