Reims/Cessna F150G Model Reference
The F150G follows the F150F in the Reims sequence, but its most useful documentary distinction is the handbook lineage. The source identifies the D397-13 family and expressly retains the distinction between D397 and the later D397-1 lineage. A catalog search returning a similar publication number therefore needs another check: the title, revision and aircraft effectivity must agree before the copy can answer an operating question. The handbook table below preserves that boundary alongside the authority-recognized family mapping.

A French generation with a precise handbook lineage
The F150G is the second step in the published Reims sequence: F150F precedes it and F150H follows. Its 1967 model-year group still uses the hyphenated French serial presentation. The G suffix locates it within the family, while the complete identity prevents a U.S. G-model serial exception or configuration statement from being carried into the wrong production branch.
The most useful G-specific documentary distinction here is its handbook lineage. A similar-looking publication number can conceal a different family or revision relationship. That is why the manual-types explanation complements this profile: it explains the roles of the documents, while the G's named publication entries identify the publication references. A French G need not be assigned an invented structural redesign to deserve its own profile.
| Model Years | 1967 |

| Certified Serial Eligibility | F150-0068-F150-0219 |
| Type-design engine context | Rolls-Royce Continental O-200-A |
Generation and Certification
The propeller source explicitly groups F150G with F150J and F150K. It does not enumerate every letter between G and K. That matters when comparing the F150H: filling in the missing H by alphabetical interpolation would create an unsupported component relationship. The listed McCauley applications retain their combined diameter and static-RPM notation; the exact application must be resolved in the controlling source rather than treating the combined endpoints as a freely selectable range.
The Reims serial interval and its model-year assignment provide a separate identity check from the handbook search. The certification approval precedes the assigned model year, illustrating why neither date can be substituted for the individual aircraft manufacture date. The factory engine row supplies installation context, while current engine and propeller identification remain aircraft-record questions. U.S. 150G float or loading information is not transferred through the shared G suffix.
The 1967 F150G follows the first Reims F model in the same hyphenated serial namespace. Its F150-0068-F150-0219 interval is a French production grouping rather than a shortened form of the U.S. 150G range. The latter contains an A150M exception that is irrelevant to this namespace. Likewise, U.S. G-model descriptions of float approval or cabin evolution should not be treated as French certification evidence. The G letter locates the related generation, while the prefix and authority establish which technical relationships can actually be used.
F150G is recorded as Standard in the Utility category, with model years 1967 and approval context A13EU. The manufacturer entry is Reims Aviation S.A. (Reims-Cessna); the manufacture/assembly location is Reims-Prunay, France. Its approval date is 1966-09-16, a model approval event rather than an individual aircraft's manufacture date.
| Model | TC | Category | Initial Model Approval Date | Core Cert Basis | Certification / Identity Note | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F150G | A13EU | Utility | 1966-09-16 | CAR 3 (1956-05-15) amended 3-4 | - | [1] |

Serial Numbers and Production
For F150G, the ordinary source assignments are 1967: F150-0068 through F150-0219. The serial guide retains source conflicts and exceptional identities alongside these intervals.
| Model Year | Official Model | Serial Start | Serial End | Excluded / Override Serials | Notes | Primary Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1967 | F150G | F150-0068 | F150-0219 | - | - | [1] |
Engine, Propeller and Equipment Changes
The positive F150G propeller lead is the explicitly enumerated F150G/J/K group. The omission of H is meaningful: it is not an alphabetical range to expand. A French G-model propeller enquiry can start from this named group and its preserved diameter/static-RPM notation, then identify the actual installed combination. The source's O-200-A engine group does not authorize treating every Reims 100-hp model as the same propeller application. Keep the group wording with any comparison to F150F or F150H.
The F150G factory installation groups specify 1967: O-200-A, 100 hp at 2750 RPM. Its named propeller applications are 1A100/MCM6950 / 1A101/DCM6950. Their diameter, static-RPM and configuration conditions are preserved together below.
| Origin | Model Year | Aircraft Model | Factory Engine | Installed hp | RPM Limit | First Serial in Group | Last Serial in Group | Applicability Basis | Aircraft Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| France | 1967 | F150G | O-200-A | 100 | 2750 | F150-0068 | F150-0219 | Factory / type-design | [1] |
| Aircraft Model | Model Year / Config | Engine | Exact Propeller Application | Max Dia | Min Dia | Static Min | Static Max | Notes | Primary Authority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F150G/J/K | All applicable | O-200-A | 1A100/MCM6950 / 1A101/DCM6950 | 69 | 67-67.5 | 2375/2500 | 2475/2600 | F150F source notation retained separately. | [1] |

Manuals, Maintenance and Research
The D397-13 family and D397 versus D397-1 distinction make revision lineage central to this model's handbook search. A seller's scan with a similar cover number may be a useful lead without establishing the controlling document. F150G's exact engine, serial and propeller relationships support a substantive identity reference, but they do not establish a model-specific cruise or runway series. The dedicated Reims guide explains the authority boundary; the adjacent French model pages show where the publication and component evidence changes without importing U.S. operating limits. The positive F150G publication leads are 1967: D397-13 family (Owner's Manual).
| Family / Year | Model | Publication | Document Class | Serial / Year Effectivity | Authority Basis | Operational Status | Special Boundary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1967 | 150G / F150G | D397-13 family | Owner's Manual | 1967 equivalent Cessna/Reims mapping | CAA TAR 98/08 | Authority-recognized base family | D397 vs later D397-1 lineage retained | [1] |
