【Haichuan Teahouse】Guess when the C919 will make its commercial debut flight

I’m only concerned about when aviation engines and top-tier lithography machines can be developed.

If the key components are in short supply, production cannot proceed; it’s still some time before mass production can start

If everything goes well, the C919 is expected to receive the regulatory authority’s type certification in August or September. However, the C919 still needs to obtain a production license and an aircraft airworthiness certificate; obtaining the airworthiness certificate means that the regulatory authorities recognize the C919 as being in a condition suitable for safe flight, that is, it is airworthy. Only by obtaining all three certificates is the airworthiness certification process fully complete. Senior captain Chen Jianguo said that going forward, the C919 still needs to go through the document review process by the Aircraft Airworthiness Certification Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China in order to obtain an airworthiness certificate. Once this certificate is granted, the C919 will be able to commence commercial operations in China. In addition to obtaining the airworthiness certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, COMAC will also need to secure airworthiness certificates from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in order to carry out commercial operations abroad.

They are all domestic certificates; **it’s no problem to provide them. The key is whether critical components will face supply constraints

That’s right! A’Jiao is restricted
