US FAA to propose changes to speed certification of new commercial airplanes

By David Shepardson

Washington (Reuters) -Federal Aviation Administration, said in a statement on Thursday, new commercial aircraft plans to propose changes for the speed certificate, he said.

Until December, FAA plans to offer “to modernize certain certification standards for transportation category aircraft and drive systems”. This will be a deregulator by reducing the number of equivalent security findings required in the process of exemption, special conditions and certification process.

Mike Whitaker, the previous president of FAA, told Reuters that the agency wanted to facilitate the aircraft certificate and tried to use “better technology” to facilitate the process.

FAA expects the proposal that the proposal expects that it will reduce the time of confirmation of new and changing products for both industry and FAA while maintaining or increasing the security level. ” FAA also plans to make its regulations compatible with international standards.

At some point, Boeing hoped to obtain the 737 Max 7 certificate in 2022, but he faced a series of problems. In January, Boeing withdrew the request for security exemption to address the problem of dissolution of an engine.

Boeing said in July that he did not expect to buy Max 7 certified, and Southwest Airlines said they expected the plane to be approved in the first half of the next year, which would be put into service for Southwest at the earliest 2026.

The maximum of 7 certifications must be certified before the FAA is able to confirm the larger Max 10. United Airlines told Reuters that he could not get maximum 10 of 2027 or 2028 due to uncertainty about when the aircraft would be approved for use.
