Explained in plain English
What is aviation certification?
Aviation certification is the rigorous process by which a new aircraft is deemed safe and airworthy by regulatory bodies. Without certification from major regulators like those in Europe or the US, an aircraft like the C919 can't easily operate in many international markets, limiting its global sales and reach.
