The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) of the United States and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) jointly approved the type certificate for Dassault’s Falcon 6X. With the completion of these certifications, a test programme spanning over two years and 1,500 flying hours globally was completed. With the first units nearing final completion, it’s a big step towards the Falcon 6X entering service.
Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation said, “The certification of the Falcon 6X is a remarkable milestone for Dassault Aviation. We would like to recognize the EASA and FAA certification teams for their commitment in this demanding process and our customers for their confidence. The Falcon 6X is the first brand new business jet to comply with the latest regulations, which will enhance the safety and security of all new aircraft. The 5,500 nm / 10,200 km Falcon 6X combines the best qualities of Dassault Aviation’s world-leading business and fighter aircraft expertise to create the longest-range jet in its class with unparalleled passenger comfort and maximum mission flexibility.”
