Overview

Building Trust Through Certification

An aircraft certification program is a rigorous process that ensures commercial and business aircraft meet stringent safety and performance standards before they can be legally flown.

Aircraft certification involves a rigorous process of design approval to ensure compliance with regulations, production approval to verify consistent manufacturing, and airworthiness certification to confirm the final aircraft meets all safety standards for operation.

Highlights

Comprehensive Evaluation

Aircraft designs, manufacturing processes, and final products undergo thorough scrutiny.

Global Collaboration

Aviation authorities worldwide work together to establish common certification standards.

Passenger Confidence

Certified aircraft provide passengers with assurance of safety and reliability.

Economic Impact

Certification drives innovation and economic growth in the aviation industry.

  • Type Certification: The aircraft must be certified by aviation authorities such as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) or EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) to ensure it meets safety and performance standards.
  • Supplemental Type Certification (STC): If modifications are made, additional certification may be required.
  • Operator Certificate: Airlines or operators must hold an appropriate certificate (e.g., Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) in the EU) to legally operate the aircraft.
  • Operating Procedures: Develop and submit standard operating procedures (SOPs) to the aviation authority for approval.
  • Registration: Register the aircraft with the appropriate national aviation authority.
  • Documentation: Ensure all required documents are in place, including the aircraft’s registration certificate, airworthiness certificate, and operating manuals.
  • Pre-Flight Inspections: Conduct thorough inspections before the aircraft enters service to verify it meets all regulatory and safety standards.
  • Test Flights: Perform test flights to ensure the aircraft operates correctly under various conditions.
