This regulation was there for almost 50 years, making certification of new aircrafts more and more difficult. Imagine, to certify an aircraft it was common to break 4 to 5 prototypes during tests. Imagine spending as much money to certify a single two-seater and a premium 6-seater. Without change, the former CS-23 announced the slow death of light aviation.<\/p>\n
Aware of the concern, EASA and politicians took the subject head on. Objective: to revitalise certified light aviation, an important sector for the entire European aeronautics sector. Concretely what did they do? Allow the CS-23 to adapt to the types of aircraft. In other words, ensure that the means of compliance of a twin-engine 19-seater are not the same as those of a single-engine two-seater.<\/p>\n
Successful bet! The CS-23 now classifies the planes according to their number of seats and their speed. It leaves it up to the manufacturer to propose appropriate means of compliance.<\/p>\n
As our aircraft was undergoing CS-LSA certification, was it really interesting to change ? The answer is definitely yes! Concretely, it has been 8 months since our decision was taken. All the work already carried out for the CS-LSA being reusable, the team didn’t have to change anything of its certification activities… the Elixir<\/span> program continues with the aim of commercialization early 2019!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Officially launched last year in Aero Friedrichshafen, the new EASA CS-23 certification has aroused our curiosity.

Considering its performances, our plane would have shortly felt cramped in the CS-LSA. In order to meet your expectations, we must see far and the CS-23 allows it. Night VFR, IFR, re-engining, payload increase for a version with extreme autonomy (14h!!), straight opening to a greater number of countries… Elixir<\/span> is full of potential, it would be a shame to deprive yourself of it!<\/p>\n
