CerTCAS, as one of the committees of Aviation Innovation Development Association (AIDA) established.

 On April 1, 2021, CerTCAS, one of the committees of the Aviation Innovation Development Association (AIDA), was established!

Objective

CerTCAS was established as a committee stipulated in the Articles of Incorporation of the Aviation Innovation Development Association (AIDA) with the aim of contributing to the development of the aviation industry by supporting the certification activities required for commercial aircraft equipment and building  a cooperative system with the certification infrastructure.

Airframe certification and type certification are common issues in Japan, not only for  the development of  commercial aircraft, but also unmanned aircraft (including drones) as well as flying cars, which have been called the industrial revolution of the sky. In such a situation, we aim to play a role in supporting the promotion of the domestic aviation industry as an organization that consolidates technology, know-how, and intellectual property related to certification in general.
