EASA CS-23
 | This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. (September 2018) |
EASA CS-23 is the European Aviation Safety Agency Certification Specification for Normal, Utility, Aerobatic, and Commuter Category Aeroplanes.[1]
This certification procedure is available for aircraft satisfying the following criteria:
- Single-engine aeroplanes in the normal, utility and aerobatic categories that have a seating configuration, excluding the pilot seat(s), of 9 or fewer and a maximum certificated take-off weight MTOW of 5670 kg (12 500 lb) or less (these aircraft are also known as class B under EU-OPS 1),
- Twin-engined propeller-driven aeroplanes in the commuter category that have a seating configuration, excluding the pilot seat(s), of 19 or fewer and a maximum certificated take-off weight of 8618 kg (19 000 lb) or less (some of these aircraft are also known as class C under EU-OPS 1),
- Aeroplanes in this category can be used for flying in VFR, SVFR, NVFR and IFR conditions day and night and also in known icing conditions if they are equipped so,
- Aeroplane in this category can be pressurized
The main part of professional pilots training is done on this category. Example of typical CS-23 aeroplanes: Cessna 152,[2] Diamond DA20 Eclipse, Cessna 172, Piper PA-28, Mooney M20, Beechcraft Bonanza, Tecnam P2006T, Diamond DA42, Piper PA-34 Seneca, Piper PA-46, Beechcraft King Air, Cessna Citation Mustang.
Subcategorys minimum required manoeuvring envelope G limits of this class are:
| Subcategory | positive load | negative load |
| CS 23 Commuter | + 2.5 g | - 1.00 g |
| CS 23 Normal | + 3.8 g | - 1.52 g |
| CS 23 Utility | + 4.4 g | - 1.76 g |
| CS 23 Aerobatic | + 6.0 g | - 3.00 g |
The somewhat relaxed certification procedure is available for aircraft satisfying the following criteria:
- Single-engine aeroplanes in the normal, utility and aerobatic categories that have a seating configuration, excluding the pilot seat(s), of 9 or fewer and a maximum certificated take-off weight MTOW of 5670 kg (12 500 lb) or less (these aircraft are also known as class B under EU-OPS 1),
- Twin-engined propeller-driven aeroplanes in the commuter category that have a seating configuration, excluding the pilot seat(s), of 19 or fewer and a maximum certificated take-off weight of 8618 kg (19 000 lb) or less (some of these aircraft are also known as class C under EU-OPS 1),
- Aeroplanes in this category can be used for flying in VFR, SVFR, NVFR and IFR conditions day and night and also in known icing conditions if they are equipped so,
- Aeroplane in this category can be pressurized
The main part of professional pilots training is done on this category.
