The Chinese Y-12F multi-role aircraft received a type certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on July 14, marking another step forward in its entry into the international market. This is the second time the aircraft has been granted a type certificate by a foreign agency, following successful flight evaluation tests for its automatic flight control system. These tests were conducted by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2018, according to China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC). As a subsidiary of the state-owned enterprise AVIC, the Y-12F's developer is headquartered in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province (northeast China), under the name AVIC Harbin Aircraft Industry Corporation (AVIC HAFEI). The new European approval of the Y-12F is a successful practice of bilateral China-EU aviation safety between AVIC and EASA and is of great importance for bilateral airworthiness cooperation between China and the EU.
