321 Precision Conversions has reported that the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has granted approval for the A321-200 freighter conversion (A321-200PCF) FAA STC ST02716SE. This certification further affirms the excellence of Precision Conversions’ design and allows for the operation of the A321-200 freighter conversion on crucial European routes.

Gary Warner, President of 321 Precision Conversions, expresses his enthusiasm for this significant achievement: “We take great pride in announcing that EASA has deemed our A321-200PCF compliant with rigorous EASA certification standards and has issued EASA STC 10083629. This endorsement offers European customers the ideal cargo conversion solution for the popular A321-200 freighter.”

321 Precision Conversions has already secured approvals from Chinese and Malaysian authorities for its FAA STC.

The fully supported A321-200PCF surpasses all expectations, providing (14) A-Code 88 x 125-inch main deck positions and (10) ULD positions in the lower hold when equipped. This enhanced capability is achieved by reducing the operating empty weight (OEW) instead of necessitating costly weight upgrades. The absence of permanent ballast installation results in reduced fuel consumption, a smaller carbon footprint, and an increased standard payload. The A321-200PCF holds certification for V2500 and CFM engines with multiple thrust ratings.

321 Precision Conversions is a collaborative effort between Aircraft Transport Services Group and Precision Aircraft Solutions, dedicated to delivering the A321-200PCF freighter conversion worldwide. Precision Aircraft Solutions, known for setting the global standard for B757-200 conversions, continues its tradition of industry-leading passenger-to-freighter cargo conversions with the A321-200.
