EU Test Pilots Find 'No Major Hardware Risks' with China's C919 Jet: Sources The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has been testing the Chinese made C919 jet, and sources close to the process say no major hardware risks were identified during in flight testing.
This development is significant because it suggests the C919 is making progress towards gaining a crucial endorsement from European safety regulators. However, certification remains elusive.
