2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 12 Scope for the Future  Japan is of the opinion that bilateral agreements contribute to ensuring aviation safety as well as reducing the burden imposed on the aviation industries.  The main purpose of the existing agreements has been Japan’s acceptance of foreign products. JCAB expects that FCAA will accept Japanese products through the full use of JCAB’s Certification under the concluded BASA.  JCAB also thinks that in the future expanding the scope of the reciprocal acceptance to other areas such as flight simulators and aircraft maintenance is important.
