Agency certifies Eclipse 500
Article Type: Safety topics and notes From: Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology: An International Journal, Volume 81, Issue 2
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued recently its type certificate for the Eclipse 500 jet.
The EASA “type-certificate” confirms that the design of the aircraft complies with European Safety and Environmental Standards. The Eclipse 500 can now be legally registered and operated for private flights throughout the European Union. In addition, the type-certificate is valid in Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. The certification process for commercial operations is still in progress.
The Agency’s certification team started its work on the Eclipse 500 in 2003. It is certified against Certification Specifications valid for General Aviation aircraft (CS-23), completed with numerous additional requirements as the jet is considered as a high-performance aircraft.
