1963–1969 Cessna 150 Illustrated Parts Catalog (P/N P438-12)

This 485-page PDF contains Cessna's Model 150 illustrated parts catalog, originally issued January 15, 1970 and marked P438-12 on the cover. Cessna states coverage for U.S.-built Model 150 serials 17001 through 15071128 and French-built F150 serials F150-0001 through F150-0529. It is best suited to mechanics, restoration shops, parts specialists, and experienced owners who can identify the aircraft by model and serial number and need factory part-number confirmation before a repair or restoration.

• Model and variant coverage: Covers the 1959-1960 Model 150; the 1961-1969 150A, 150B, 150C, 150D, 150E, 150F, 150G, 150H, and 150J; and the French-built 1966-1969 F150F, F150G, F150H, and F150J. The factory cross-reference also identifies Standard, Trainer, and Inter-City Commuter names within the covered series.
• Wing, tail, and flight-control assemblies: Includes the Wing Structure Assembly, Patroller Wing Structure Assembly, wing leading edge and fuel tank installations, ailerons, flaps, wing struts, stabilizer and elevator, vertical fin, rudder, dorsal structure, and their control-system installations.
• Fuselage, cabin, landing gear, and brakes: Breakdowns cover the front and center fuselage, tailcone, doorposts, windshield, cabin doors and latches, seats, upholstery, instrument-panel equipment, standard and heavy-duty nose gear, main gear, wheels, brakes, master cylinders, and shimmy dampener.
• Powerplant and aircraft systems: Shows propeller and spinner installations, engine mounts and cowling, exhaust stacks, baffles, winterization equipment, carburetor air intake, common engine accessories, and the fuel, oil, vacuum, pitot, cabin-heating, ventilating, and electrical-equipment installations.
• Special configurations: Separate illustrated coverage identifies Patroller wings, fuel tanks, doors, and message-drop equipment; floatplane fittings, oil cooler, engine-mount, and propeller applications; plus wing-leveler components, heated-pitot applications, stall-warning equipment, and generator/alternator variations.
• Parts-selection references: Each drawing is keyed to a list with part number, description, units per assembly, attaching-part relationships, and serial-specific usable-on codes. Alphabetical and numerical indexes support cross-checking by component name or part number.

How the Serial-Coded Breakdowns Work

French serial applicability is printed alongside the corresponding U.S. serial blocks wherever it applies. A usable-on letter is local to the figure on which it appears; it is not a catalog-wide configuration code. Reusing a letter from another figure is an easy way to select the wrong part.

The catalog also distinguishes non-interchangeable parts from later designs that may be used after earlier stock is exhausted. Several supersession notes require matching shrouds and attaching hardware, or an entire coded installation, rather than one later part number. Missing those companion-part notes can leave a mixed assembly that will not fit correctly during a repair.

Finish, Trim, and Bulk-Material References

The finish-and-trim section decodes the aircraft plate by model year, exterior color, upholstery scheme, and interior trim. Its serial-based tables distinguish lacquer, acrylic, and vinyl applications, including paint treatment used on French aircraft. Separate ordering tables explain the second dash numbers required for color- and material-specific upholstered, painted, or plastic interior parts.

Bulk-item listings cover flexible fuel and oil hose, neoprene- and silicone-impregnated ducting, electrical sleeving, rubber seals and channels, and polyethylene tubing. Where applicable, the parts lists give the cut length for one installation, while the introduction explains that dealer supply may be in a larger bulk length. It also identifies the CP suffix used to order parts with corrosion proofing.

What This Catalog Does - and Does Not - Cover

This is an illustrated parts catalog, not a service or repair manual. Although many figure titles use the word "Installation," the pages show component relationships and part callouts; they do not provide removal sequences, installation steps, rigging instructions, troubleshooting, torque tables, inspection limits, or repair procedures. The electrical section consists of equipment and installation layouts, not wiring diagrams or electrical schematics. Radio installations are referred to a separate Cessna Electronics Manual, and accessory kits to a separate Accessory Kit Catalog.

The cover states that this issue supersedes all previous 1963-1969 Model 150 parts catalogs. Use current approved maintenance data and appropriately authorized aviation maintenance personnel for any repair, installation, or airworthiness decision.
