Type Inspection Authorization is a pivotal point
in the development and certification of a new
aircraft. It signifies that the HondaJet meets
type design requirements and is ready for FAA
pilots to perform onboard flight tests required
for certification. Nose-to-tail FAA review
during this final testing phase will pave the
way for HondaJet type certification and the
first deliveries to HondaJet customers.
“We have been working closely with the FAA to
finalize our certification schedule for the
HondaJet,” said Fujino. “Based on the recent FAA
type certification of the HF120 turbofan engine
and this TIA milestone achievement, we can
expect aircraft type certification in the first
quarter of 2015 with deliveries following
immediately after.”
“FAA certification of the customer service
facility is a significant accomplishment and a
key component of our goal to provide unsurpassed
customer service and support from day one,” said
Fujino. “I am proud that we could achieve this
additional milestone in 2013.”
