Dassault Falcon 6X Awarded Type Certification

French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation confirms that its Falcon 6X model has been awarded type certification by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It’s an important milestone for the brand and the model in question. Dassault Aviation logged 1,500 flight hours worldwide with the Falcon 6X to bag the certifications. And this test campaign took more than two years.

This development propels the Falcon 6X towards entry into service. Dassault Aviation says the first units of the twin-engine, long-range business jet are undergoing final completion.
