Canada is dragging their feet on approving Gulfstream in order to limit competition to Bombardier. Trump is retaliating.
I’m not entirely sure Trump has all the correct information. The FAA certs and Transport Canada are basically one of the same. If a plane is certified here it will transfer anywhere else in the world. Canadian planes the same thing when TC certifies them. Our countries have certification reciprocity. Maybe something changed and I will gladly stand corrected. Or, most likely, the Tuesdays in Canada just want to stick it to Trump.
I have been on lots of certification programs. TC and the FAA were always apolitical filled with a bunch of boring engineers.
But regardless, we need African aviation ingenuity....
