Walter van Tilborg: "The CP.301 A was the most built version of the Emeraude, the 301 A indicating the use of the Continental C90 motor. Emeraudes could be fitted with a sliding canopy or a fixed canopy with forward-hinged doors. Some examples had removable wings.

About 290 examples of the CP.301A were produced, 118 in France by Coopavia (96), Renard (4), Rouchaud (5), SCANOR (4), and SOCA (9), as well as 11 in South Africa by Genair (designated Ariel II), and 5 in the UK, by Garland-Bianchi (1) and Garland Aircraft (1) as the Linnet, and by Fairtravel (3) as the Linnet II. The balance, about 38, was amateur-built."
