ERA extends MAK certification in Russia

ERA a.s., (ERA) announced today the award of type certificate number 542 from the Interstate Aviation Commission. This certification acknowledges the design of ERA equipment meets all certification requirements for use as a WAM surveillance system and an HMU. The certification process involved verification of the operational results of ERAs deployed WAM and HMU systems, and the extensive audit of the documentation and production process used at ERA facilities.

As a result of this certification ERA is now the only vendor that has achieved the certification required for the operation of multilateration surveillance and height monitoring systems in Russia.
