Good news for the business aviation industry. The Dassault Falcon 6x, the long-range, wide-body family member of the Falcon family, just received its EASA certification to perform steep approaches. It will allow the jet to land at airports that so far were out of reach. Still, not all steep approach airports will be available for the 6x. The freshly received certification allows the jet to perform only 5.5-degree approaches, which is good enough for places like London City. Lugano or Aspen in the US are still off limits, requiring a 6.5-degree approach.

Dassault is confident that the 6x can cope with approaches of up to 6 degrees.
