Certification to be completed as soon as next year: C919 domestically produced large aircraft received 'positive feedback' from EU regulators

According to this site’s news on August 9, the South China Morning Post quoted sources as saying that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) gave “positive feedback” to the domestically produced large aircraft C919 after conducting an on-site inspection in Shanghai last month. The source said "prospects are more optimistic for it (the C919 airliner) to receive EU certification in 2025".

Sources said that European technicians operated and evaluated the C919’s D-level flight simulator in July, which can simulate takeoff, landing and various emergency situations. It is said that representatives of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) also boarded the C919 passenger aircraft for a close observation. Such inspections are also part of the airworthiness compliance verification. In addition, technicians spent several hours inspecting the cockpit and cabin and discussing specific details with their Chinese counterparts.

"They are very keen on everything and asked for a lot of details," the source said. "They are also paying special attention to the commercial operation of C919 on domestic airlines."

The source also said that the C919 was not included in this evaluation No test flights were conducted during the inspection, and he believes follow-up test flights may be conducted later this year or early next year.

Referring to previous reports on this site, Gu Xin, director of the Shanghai Airworthiness Certification Center of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said:

1. We are planning to apply for type approval from the EU for the domestically produced large aircraft C919, and we look forward to obtaining relevant certification next year.
2. The center will complete all submission materials in accordance with normal type approval procedures to indicate all completed relevant flight experiments.

Gu Xin said:

1. Civil aviation around the world has a standard, which is to ensure public travel safety.
2. "We are confident enough that the aircraft certified by the Chinese are safe enough."
3. The center will work hard to display the aircraft in accordance with the procedures, but there are slight differences in technology and rules between different countries, and there may be a lot of discussions and arguments. The center will “put technology on the table” and work hard to do so.
