HONG KONG, May 23 (Xinhua) -- Civil aviation experts from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and the Macao SAR have been invited to participate in the operational evaluation of C919 aircraft, China's homemade large passenger jet.

The civil aviation authorities of the Chinese mainland and the two SARs on Wednesday signed a Co-operative Arrangement on Operational Evaluation of C919 Aircraft and a Memorandum of Understanding on Closer Co-operation on Type Certification (MoU) in Hong Kong.

The areas of the C919 operational evaluation in which the experts will participate include flight crew qualification specification, master minimum equipment list, maintenance requirements and passenger cabin emergency evacuation demonstration.

As for the MoU, it fosters further cooperation and enhances efficiency through reducing airlines' repetitive technical evaluations, tests and inspections in relation to certification application and the use of aircraft parts.

Li Jian, deputy administrator of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said that Hong Kong and Macao are welcome to continue to participate in the development of national civil aviation in the future to achieve higher quality development through win-win cooperation.
