Gulfstream 500 gets EASA OK
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the JAA have both now validated the FAA’s type certificate for the Gulfstream 500.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the JAA have both now validated the FAA’s type certificate for the Gulfstream 500. The dual validation allows the aircraft to be certified and registered in all 38 JAA member states, including the 25 countries of the European Union (EU), for which the EASA now has legal authority for issuing type certificates.

New type certification programs for aircraft produced and/or registered in the European Union are now conducted directly through the EASA and are automatically valid for all EU states. Significantly, national aviation authorities no longer have the legal authority to impose additional technical requirements as they often did with JAA type certificates.
