The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has approved 321 Precision Conversions’ A321-200 freighter conversion.
Certification of the A321-200 freighter conversion (A321-200PCF) means the model can now operate on key European routes.
Gary Warner, 321 Precision Conversions president, said: “We are proud to announce EASA has determined that our A321-200PCF met stringent EASA certification standards and has issued EASA STC 10083629.
“This approval provides European customers with the right cargo conversion option for the popular A321-200 freighter.”
321 Precision Conversions has already received approvals from China and Malaysia for its Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certificate (STC) (ST02716SE).
321 Precision Conversions is a joint venture between Aircraft Transport Services Group (ATSG) and Precision Aircraft Solutions (PAS) to deliver the A321-200PCF freighter conversion worldwide.
The A321-200PCF provides 14 A-Code 88 x 125-inch main deck positions and 10 ULD positions in the lower hold when equipped.
Capability is increased by decreasing the operating empty weight (OEW).
No permanent ballast installation yields a lower fuel burn, lower carbon footprint, and higher standard payload, said PAS.
The A321-200PCF is certified for V2500 and CFM engines of multiple thrust ratings.
321 Precision Conversions also converts Boeing 757-200 aircraft.
