ACSEP

Aircraft Certification Systems Evaluation Program

The Aircraft Certification Systems Evaluation Program (ACSEP) is a program established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to evaluate and assess the aircraft certification systems and processes of foreign countries. The purpose of ACSEP is to determine whether a foreign country's certification system is equivalent to the FAA's system, and to verify that the country's civil aviation authority (CAA) has the capability to effectively regulate and oversee the certification of aircraft, engines, and propellers.
