Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) has certified domestically developed flight safety systems designed to fully replace foreign-made counterparts installed on Russian aircraft and helicopters.
The airworthiness approvals for the newly certified components were formally presented by Rosaviatsiya Deputy Head Sergey Stramous to Alexander Agarkov, Director of Certification at the Navigator Institute of Aviation Instrument Engineering (St. Petersburg).
The certification covers two key onboard safety systems:
- Compact Air Traffic Awareness Sensor (CATAS) — a lightweight airborne surveillance system providing situational awareness of surrounding air traffic.
- Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) — a system designed to detect and warn of potential midair collision risks.
Both systems have successfully completed a full qualification and certification test program. This included flight evaluations conducted in parallel operation with foreign-built analog systems to validate functional equivalence and operational reliability.
Following completion of certification flight test campaigns on Russian-built aircraft, the systems are cleared for serial production. They are intended for installation on the MC-21-310 and SJ-100 narrowbody aircraft, the Il-114-300 regional turboprop, the Tu-214 medium-range airliner, and the Mi-171A3 helicopter.
