Faa Caac Bilateral Agreement

Pending President Trump`s impending state visit to the People`s Republic of China, the FAA and its Chinese counterpart have signed a revolutionary agreement. This document will facilitate the movement of aircraft and air parts between the two countries. There is no doubt that there will be short-term benefits for the United States, but in the long term, it is a good idea. According to one commentator, „China has a large part of the U.S. aviation regulatory system.“ This is great news when CAAC has actually copied faa criteria and processes. According to the FAA press release, „its agreement supports the updating of the FAA Aircraft Certification Service`s certification strategy by addressing the needs of stakeholders and encouraging the smooth transfer of products and authorizations worldwide. The congruence between the two countries` regulatory approaches, as The Business Standard found, „could boost the Asian country`s nascent aviation industry and make it easier for companies like Boeing to sell products there.“ Work procedures are a type of agreement with a foreign CAA with which the FAA has not entered into a bilateral agreement. They are used to define the methods used by the FAA`s Aircraft Certification Service to assist another state in authorizing aeronautical products and articles exported from the United States to that state. An agreement between the two national aviation authorities entered into force on 17 October. 27. October – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) today announced the signing of an implementation agreement under the U.S.-China Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA), which recognizes each other`s regulatory systems with respect to the airworthiness of aeronautical products and articles. Bilateral airworthiness agreements are executive agreements concluded prior to 1996 through an exchange of diplomatic notes between the U.S.

Department of State and its foreign counterpart based on FAA technical recommendations. (Note: The United States no longer enters into bilateral airworthiness agreements.) This agreement supports the updating of the FAA Aircraft Certification Service certification strategy by meeting the needs of stakeholders and promoting the smooth transfer of products and authorizations worldwide. The FAA`s conclusion of the deal could benefit U.S. aerospace companies in the near future. „Chinese airlines will spend more than US$1 trillion on new aircraft over the next two decades to meet the burgeoning demand for air travel, according to a new forecast from Boeing,“ according to a cnn News report. This is an important goal for the Chicago-based aircraft manufacturer. What does the agreement allow? This agreement would help China export domestic-developed aircraft, such as the C919 and ARJ-21. FAA and EASA certifications are the ideal imprimatur for COMAC. The ARJ-21, for example, did not look like an FAA certification candidate. This has limited its export potential, even with irresistible prices. In addition to airworthiness certification, bilateral aviation safety agreements provide for bilateral cooperation in a wide range of aviation sectors, including maintenance, flight operations and environmental certification.

For aircraft certification, an additional document, an implementation procedure for airworthiness, is developed to address certain areas such as design authorizations, production activities, export aviation authorizations, post-design authorization activities and technical cooperation. . . .
