FAA Administrator Says He Expects Certification Soon FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford says he expects Gulfstream certification by Canada to come later this week. “I think we’ve resolved the issues with Canada,” Bedford said. “My understanding is Transport Canada will announce the Gulfstream certifications that have been delayed for years.” President Donald Trump brought up the certification issue in January when he threatened to decertify all Canadian-made aircraft if the country did not soon certify the Gulfstream 500, 600, 700, and 800. He specifically called out Montreal-based Bombardier and said he would revoke certification of the company’s Global Express.
