Hi,

World aviation agencies spend countless hours certifying aircraft for simpler and better understood conditions such as flying above water or in winter etc, and only then give a "go" based on significant test data when appropriate measures are worked out.
So I can ask the question:
Why world aviation agencies not spended hours for conduct tests in a volcanic ashes environement ?
AFAIK it's a well know natural phenomena like ice or snow or rain or birds ...
