EASA grounds hundreds of Soviet-registered aircraft
Hundreds of Soviet-registered aircraft in service within the European Union fleet have been effectively grounded on the advice of European aviation safety regulator EASA.
European legislation dating back to 2003 had exempted - albeit temporarily - certain aircraft registered in member states from securing European airworthiness certificates, although it did specify that EASA determine the design approval necessary to issue them in the meantime.

Those airlines, however, operating the remaining 213 Soviet-registered aircraft whose designers have failed to meet the 28 March deadline to at least start the process will now face the scrutiny of their national CAAs.
On 15 March EASA said: "These aircraft are likely to be grounded on 28 March 2008 unless urgent measures are taken by their owners/operators to obtain the necessary design approvals". It added that the aircraft concerned included large commercial air transport such as the Antonov An-24, An-72 and An-74, the Tupolev Tu-154 and the Yakolev Yak-40.

General aviation aircraft such as the Antonov An-28, Sukhoi Su-26, Su-29 and Su-31M, the Yakolev Yak-54, Yak-55, and Yak-18T Interavia Servis SA 62TA, SA 70TA, SA 80TA and SA 82TA as well as large helicopters such as the Kamov Ka-26 and Ka-32 also fall within this scope.
kurz und deutsch: Die An-24, An-72,An-74, Tu-154 und Yak-40 die innerhalb der EU registriert sind müssen am Boden bleiben. Als nächstes sind GA-Flieger aus den gleichen Ländern/gleichen Herstellern im Visier.
An-26 und Ka-32A/A11BC sind nicht davon betroffen da bei ihnen ihre Hersteller mit der EASA zusammengearbeitet haben.
