Cessna 150/A150 Parts Catalog: Argentine Serial Context

How a parts catalog helps identify Argentine aircraft

The 1969-1976 parts-catalog context helps explain why a manual may use a Cessna-assigned serial while local aircraft records use an Argentine identifier. Keep both when searching for the applicable assembly. A catalog’s year span is a publication scope, not an individual aircraft’s manufacture date or proof that every illustrated part was installed on that aircraft.

Parts effectivity is not installed-part evidence

A catalog can organize parts by model, assembly and serial effectivity. Matching an aircraft to an effectivity range does not prove that the listed part is currently installed or that a replacement is approved for the aircraft in its present configuration. Modifications and aircraft-specific records remain relevant.

For mechanics, serial identification is therefore the beginning of parts research. For buyers, a catalog reference cannot substitute for inspection or records of the actual engine, propeller and airframe configuration. The serial guide keeps these evidence categories separate.

Relationship to Argentine authority mappings

Use ANAC’s exact serial pairs where they are available, and retain block-endpoint uncertainty where they are not. The manufacturer catalog supports the serial-assignment concept, while the ANAC table supplies the identifier cross-reference shown in the guide.

For a replacement-part enquiry, record the full aircraft identity, the catalog assembly and item, the part designation and any stated effectivity. Compare them with the installed component and modification history. An illustration can help locate an item, but appearance alone does not establish its part number. Use the applicable approval and maintenance instructions to resolve a proposed replacement, especially where earlier repairs or conversions may have changed the assembly.

For the manual search itself, use the Cessna 150 manuals guide to distinguish a parts catalog from maintenance instructions and operating information. Bring the aircraft’s complete serial and modification records to a parts enquiry so that an illustrated assembly can be checked against its stated effectivity.
