Reims/Cessna F150J Model Reference

Generation and Certification

The handbook lead is D624-13. The source explicitly says that adjacent-year borrowing is not appropriate, so the preceding H-model publication and the subsequent K-model family should remain separate search results. A similar cockpit or the same basic engine does not resolve handbook effectivity. The manuals guide explains how publication recognition differs from establishing the controlling copy, its amendments and the supplements for an altered aircraft.

The exact propeller application groups F150J with F150G and F150K. It supplies a positive research relationship for the named McCauley applications, while keeping their combined source notation intact. It does not prove which propeller is fitted today or authorize transferring U.S. J-model limits. The U.S. 150J historical switchgear description also remains on its own model page: the shared letter is not evidence of a serialized Reims wiring change. These distinctions let a buyer compare the two J models without merging their technical records.

F150J is the last model in this sequence using the F150-xxxx serial presentation before F150K's unhyphenated format. Its 1969 interval F150-0390-F150-0529 is therefore an important namespace boundary in addition to a model-year entry. The U.S. J's electrical-switchgear history is a comparison topic, not an automatically inherited French production change. The French identity remains useful even where no separate cockpit-change entry is established: it directs the reader to the right handbook and approved component application.

F150J is recorded as Standard in the Utility category, with model years 1969 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 1968-08-13, a model approval event rather than an individual aircraft's manufacture date.

Serial Numbers and Production

For F150J, the ordinary source assignments are 1969: F150-0390 through F150-0529. The serial guide retains source conflicts and exceptional identities alongside these intervals.

Engine, Propeller and Equipment Changes

The named F150G/J/K propeller group supplies a positive J-model application, unlike the omitted H. Its combined notation must be interpreted in the controlling source rather than turned into an arbitrary mix of blade diameter and static-RPM endpoints. The engine remains in the recorded O-200-A factory family, so the main documentary changes from H to J are the exact serial interval, handbook and explicit propeller relationship. None establishes which replacement propeller or accessories the aircraft carries today.

The F150J factory installation groups specify 1969: 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.

Manuals, Maintenance and Research

D624-13 is the J handbook lead, with no adjacent-year borrowing. When a record set contains both hyphenated French identifiers and later unhyphenated ones, preserve the printed identity instead of silently stripping punctuation to make a numerical match. The next F150K reference explains the format change and its combined standard/Aerobat manual-family context. For an F150J owner, the dedicated Reims authority path remains necessary for limits and loading that are not established by U.S. J tables. The positive F150J publication leads are 1969: D624-13 (Owner's Manual).
