FAA Grants Production Certification to Epic for E1000
Leading up to production certificate approval, the FAA worked with Epic to develop remote audit processes to assist with the review during the pandemic.

Epic Aircraft received FAA production certification for the E1000, clearing the way for the Bend, Oregon company to ramp up manufacturing of its carbon-fiber, six-seat turboprop single. A production certificate (PC) authorizes the manufacture of duplicate products under an FAA-approved type. With the PC, Epic can manufacture, flight test, and issue airworthiness certificates with reduced FAA presence, the company said.
