ANAC and Singapore Authority enter into partnership to advance the regulation of eVTOL aircraft

Brazil’s Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) signed on September 10 a Memorandum of Intent for Cooperation on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) to strengthen collaboration in regulatory approaches, technical standards, and industry engagement. The document was signed by the technology director and senior director of CAAS, Tan Kah Han, and the ANAC airworthiness superintendent, Roberto Honorato, on the sidelines of the first International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Advanced Air Mobility Symposium 2024, which is being held in Montreal, Canada, September 9-12. With the Memorandum of Intent, ANAC and CAAS ratify their interest in collaborating in the following areas: – Exchange knowledge and information on certification, validation, and entry into service of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, including policies, regulatory approaches, and operational procedures; – Collaborate in the development of technical standards to enable the certification and safe operation of eVTOL aircraft, including participation in international technical groups; and – Coordinate efforts to engage relevant industry stakeholders in the development and safe operation of eVTOL aircraft. The Memorandum signed between ANAC and CAAS strengthens the growing partnership between the two countries based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in February this year to promote civil aviation safety. The authorities also signed a Technical Agreement for Airworthiness Certification (TA-AC) in June 2024 to enhance cooperation related to initial and continued airworthiness, production issues and technical assistance. – https://aeroin.net/anac-e-autoridade-de-singapura-firmam-parceria-para-avancar-na-regulacao-de-aeronaves-evtol/#google_vignette
