Ahead of the commencement of deliveries in a 34-ship order to Brazilian fractional aircraft operator Avantto announced earlier this year, Oregon-based airframer Epic has received type certification for its E1000GX from Brazil’s civil aviation authority (ANAC).

The turboprop single had received FAA type certification in 2021, but ANAC approval was required as well before the aircraft could enter service with Avantto.
