A400M Development Status  Initial Type Certificate granted by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on the 30th Apr 2012  Full Civil Type Certificate mid-2012 following the completion of 300 flight test hours of function and reliability (F&R) tests  Initial Operating Clearance (Military Certification and Qualification) during the second half of 2012

A400M Development Status Flight test Campaign: More than 3,166 hours & 1,082 Flights with five a/c now in flight tests  MSN6 – last a/c contributing to the development fleet – performed its first flight on the 20th Dec’11  Development fleet is completing successfully the certification/qualification programme with lot of critical milestones passed this year  Flight Test campaign will be developed by F. Alonso Static tests finished: All Civil for TC and military cases for IOC completed on MSN5000 Static Specimen Fatigue test on-going: Achieved more than 12,500 simulated flights (Half way to achieve 2.5 Design Service Goal - equating to 2.5 times the A400Ms design-life)

A400M Engine Status  A400M Powerplant with 11,000 shp is the most powerful turboprop in production.  Engine Type Certification granted by EASA in May’11, Propeller Type Certification in March’12.  More than 12,000 hours operating. Issues identified last year and affecting High Pressure Compressor and Propeller Gear Box have been fixed but penalised Programme performances (in particular, MSN6 First Flight postponed to end 2011 and aircraft Type Certification impacted by some months).  New engine events have recently affected MSN4 & MSN6 : • Propeller Gear Box (PGB) failure experienced in one MSN4 engine during the flight back from Asian Tour; PGB under investigation for root-cause analysis to establish appropriate corrective plan. • High level of vibration detected in one MSN6 engine requiring its replacement. Root-cause analysis on-going. Main anticipated Programme impact is the delay on Functionality and Reliability tests start by one month and consequently on the aircraft full TC. So far, these delays are absorbed by Airbus Military and MSN7 aircraft is still foreseen to be delivered at the turn 2012 / 2013
