FAA and CAAS sign enhanced aviation safety agreement

Validation processes will be streamlined for certain aircraft modification designs.

The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) have signed an enhanced Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement – Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness (BASA-IPA).

The agreement streamlines the validation process for certain aircraft modification designs between the FAA and CAAS.

In addition, the FAA will now recognise CAAS approvals for minor aircraft modification, all aircraft repair, and minor changes to article designs.

The agreement will benefit Singapore-based companies that require US approvals for their work or whose customers demand such approvals, said CAAS Director-General Han Kok Juan.

The enhanced agreement is the result of a joint review, which included site visits by the FAA to Singapore-based aviation and aerospace companies.

The FAA and CAAS first signed a BASA-IPA in 2007.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
