Seeking Parallel Certification From AR IAC, EASA
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 has been cleared by AR IAC and EASA for
noise program certification flights following completion of five
validation flights.

During the certification flights, telemetry equipment interfaced
with on-board aircraft testing instrumentation will show
noise-relevant flight parameters, including the aircraft
trajectory, in real-time to flight test specialists at Alenia
Aeronautica Control Room in Torino Caselle airport. Following the
flights, the data will be analyzed on site to provide quick
assessment of the aircraft's noise characteristics. Both on-ground
and in-flight measurements will also be taken during tests, the
latter by using an helicopter equipped by a special probe.
Prior to the clearance, AR IAC and EASA verified the aircraft
configuration, reference trajectories for noise certification,
flight test procedures, flight and ground test instrumentation and
calibration status. Over the course of the AR IAC-EASA parallel
certification, EASA experts have already taken part in the "high
angles of attack" program, airstairs ejection and hydraulic system
pressurization checks.
"Noise and HIRF testing, conducted in Italy is not just a
program which tests certain aircraft parameters, it's an essential
part of a big effort of AR IAC and EASA in harmonization of the
certification standards of Russia, CIS and Europe," said Igor
Vinogradov, SCAC's SVP on Certification. "This job is made possible
owing to Sukhoi Superjet 100 Program, as SSJ100 is the pioneering
aircraft which is designated for the both Russian and world market
and has to meet the international certification norms."
