Russia establishes Aviation Register

Russian authorities have established the Aviation Register of the Russian Federation, which will be responsible for aircraft design, components, engines and propeller certification. The setup document was published by Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency, Rosaviatsia, March 21. The transfer of certification powers from Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) to other authorities was announced in Dec 2015. IAC has been responsible for certification and incidents investigation since its launch by several former USSR countries in 1991. Now it will be responsible only for investigation. The reason for certification powers transfer has not been officially explained, but it could be connected with IAC’s decision to recall the Boeing 737 type certificate in Russia Nov 5, 2015. <br/>
