FAA and CAAS sign enhanced aviation safety agreement

Validation processes will be streamlined for certain aircraft modification designs.

The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) have signed an enhanced Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement – Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness (BASA-IPA).

The agreement streamlines the validation process for certain aircraft modification designs between the FAA and CAAS.

In addition, the FAA will now recognise CAAS approvals for minor aircraft modification, all aircraft repair, and minor changes to article designs.

The agreement will benefit Singapore-based companies that require US approvals for their work or whose customers demand such approvals, said CAAS Director-General Han Kok Juan.

The enhanced agreement is the result of a joint review, which included site visits by the FAA to Singapore-based aviation and aerospace companies.

The FAA and CAAS first signed a BASA-IPA in 2007.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
