Airbus Brisbane receives CASA civil design organisation approval

Airbus in Australia was granted 21.J Civil Design Organisation approval by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, giving its Brisbane engineers independent authority over civil aircraft design work in the country.

The approval, which covers small general aviation aircraft, large passenger jets and both small and large helicopters, extends across six technical areas – structures, mechanical systems, electrical systems, instruments, radio systems and cabin systems – and allows the Brisbane team to design, certify and approve repair designs and changes within the regulator’s defined scope.
