The UK and Brazilian regulatory authorities have signed a letter of intent (LoI) to cooperate and align approaches on eVTOL certification. The LoI was at the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)-Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) International Safety Conference in Cologne, Germany.
Roberto Honorato, Airworthiness Department head, ANAC Brazil, said: “With the increasing number of eVTOL activities an important part of the development of this new sector is the cooperation between state of design. I’d like to thank the representatives of the UK Civil Aviation Authority and Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil, that worked to make it possible.”
No specific of the agreement have been released as yet.
With this agreement, UK, Brazil, EU and US will work together towards an aligned approach on eVTOL certification. The UK announced in June last year it would follow the same standards as EASA. The FAA and EASA have confirmed they will both align their approach.
