华盛顿6月25日电(路透社)——美国联邦航空管理局周四提议改革方案,以现代化并加快新型商用飞机的认证流程,并与欧盟统一监管标准。
FAA表示,通过与欧盟航空安全局(EASA)共享部分认证要求,可为制造商提供统一标准,降低认证的成本、时间与复杂度,从而惠及厂商。两大机构此前已承诺在安全与认证领域加强合作。

该提议将为波音、空客、巴西航空工业公司和庞巴迪等制造商带来利好。
新型飞机型号的认证往往需要耗时数年,并开展大量测试与数据收集工作。FAA局长布莱恩·贝德福德一直推动改革,并于今年早些时候透露,该局正与业界合作推进多个项目,“探索如何简化认证流程”。
FAA前局长迈克·惠特克2024年曾向路透社表示,该局正考虑采用更先进的技术来简化认证流程。
路透社于去年9月率先披露了FAA的改革计划,当时透露该局计划减少认证过程中所需的“豁免、特殊条件和等效安全认定”的数量。
FAA称,适航标准现代化将在保持或提升安全水平的同时,缩短认证时长并降低认证成本。
上周,FAA与EASA宣布,在批准两款波音737 MAX新型衍生型号投入使用方面已取得重大进展。波音原本希望在2022年完成737 MAX 7的认证,但随后遭遇了一系列问题。
FAA副局长克里斯·罗什洛表示,该局目前正处于认证小型MAX 7和大型MAX 10的最后阶段。EASA执行主任弗洛里安·吉尔梅特在一场安全会议上表示,批准MAX 10投入运营是该局的首要任务。

WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday proposed changes to modernize and speed certification of new commercial airplanes and harmonize regulations with Europe.
The FAA said by mirroring some requirements with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency it would benefit manufacturers by providing consistent requirements and reduce the cost, time and complexity of certifications. The two agencies have vowed to work more closely on safety and certification.

The proposal could be a boost to manufacturers like Boeing, Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier.
Approvals for new airplane models can take years and require substantial testing and data. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford has pushed for reforms and disclosed earlier this year the agency has a few projects working with industry “to see how they can streamline the process.”
The prior FAA head, Mike Whitaker, told Reuters in 2024 the agency was looking at using better technology to streamline the process.
Reuters first reported the FAA’s planned changes in September, disclosing the agency planned to reduce the number of “exemptions, special conditions, and equivalent level of safety findings required during the certification process.”
The FAA said modernization of airworthiness standards will cut the time for certifying and certification costs, while maintaining or increasing safety.
Last week, the FAA and EASA said they were making significant progress toward approving two new variants of the Boeing 737 MAX for use. Boeing had hoped to get the 737 MAX 7 certified in 2022 but has faced a series of issues.
Deputy FAA Administrator Chris Rocheleau said the agency was in the final stages of certifying the smaller MAX 7 and larger MAX 10. EASA Executive Director Florian Guillermet said at a safety conference that validating the MAX 10 for service is a top priority for the agency.
