  2. SUMMARY BACKGROUND ACTIVE AIRWORTHINESS WORKING GROUPS WAY AHEAD

  3. ! BACKGROUND REQUIREMENTS CIVIL WORLD The final objective is to verify A/C fitness for flight (using a set of airworthiness codes derived from civil aeronautics historical experience - CS, FAR) MILITARY WORLD The final objective is to verify from the beginning that Weapon System is able to accomplish the desired MISSION in a safe way CIVIL AND MILITARY APPROACHES TO “VERIFY DESIGN REQUIREMENTS” ARE DIFFERENT

  4. ! BACKGROUND MILITARY WORLD • IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE FOR MILITARY PURPOSES TO: • IMPLEMENT THE PROCUREMENT ORIENTED VISION RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING (MILITARY PEOPLE PROCURE THE WEAPON SYSTEMS THEY REGULATE) • TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT PERFORMANCES ARE AS IMPORTANT AS AIRWORTHINESS CIVIL AND MILITARY APPROACHES TO AIRWORTHINESS RULEMAKING ARE DIFFERENT

  5. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION • DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE AIRWORTHINESS CONSENSUS BETWEEN NATIONS ON INDIVIDUAL MULTI-NATIONAL PROJECTS • HARMONISATION REACHED ONLY AT SINGLE PROGRAM LEVEL (EF2000, NH90, A400M…) • MANY AIRWORTHINESS INITIATIVES IN EU AND ELSEWHERE AIMED AT GENERAL HARMONISATION … BUT UNCOORDINATED • HIGH RISK THAT THERE WILL BE DUPLICATION OF EFFORT AND WITH LIMITED RESOURCES THIS IS UNTENABLE GENERAL VIEW OF THE AIRWORTHINESS COMMUNITY ACROSS EUROPE IS THAT HARMONISATION IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE … BUT:

  8. SUMMARY BACKGROUND ACTIVE AIRWORTHINESS WORKING GROUPS WAY AHEAD

  9. MAWA ROLE MAWA ROLE IS TO COORDINATE AND MANAGE • THE MAWA SHALL DEVELOP EUROPEAN MILITARY AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS (EMARS) REGULATORY STRUCTURE ADDRESSING THE PECULIAR SPECIFICITY OF THE MILITARY WORLD • AIRWORTHINESS AUTHORITY MUST REMAIN WITH NATIONS (EDA HAS NO AUTHORITY FOR AIRWORTHINESS) • ANY AGREED WORK PACKAGES WOULD NEED TO BE STAFFED BY NATIONS • THE MAWA IS COLLECTING AND EVALUATING THE “CORE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK” ALREADY DEVELOPED BY THE ACTIVE OFFICIAL WGs • DUPLICATION OF EFFORT MUST BE AVOIDED • “AS CIVIL AS POSSIBLE AS MILITARY AS NECESSARY”, NOT FORGETTING THAT THE MILITARY WORLD IS DIFFERENT

  10. MAWA ROADMAP CONFRONTO NORME DGAA-EASA Task Force 1 Basic Framework MAWA Task Force 2 EMAR Part 21 Task Force 3 Maint. Org. Appr. Task Force 4 Certification Codes & Safety Req.s

  11. Def Std 00-970 MIL-HDBK-516B WHAT’S VALUABLE ON THE TABLE? DEF STD 00-970 Design and Airworthiness Requirements for Service Aircraft MIL-HDBK-516B (Airworthiness Certification Criteria) AER.P-2 “Qualification of military aircraft and pertaining systems (SAFETY TARGET APPROACH) “ “JOINT SERVICE SPECIFICATION GUIDES” (JSSGs) EASA Certification Specifications

  12. CERTIFICATION or QUALIFICATION? CERTIFICATION=FIT FOR FLIGHT QUALIFICATION= FIT FOR PURPOSE • THE TYPE CERTIFICATION, AS AN AIRWORTHINESS ASSESSMENT, IS AN INTERMEDIATE STEP TO A FINAL MILITARY AIRCRAFT QUALIFICATION • STARTING FROM THE AIRCRAFT SPEC OF PURE MILITARY AIRCRAFTS (E.G. FIGHTERS), IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO CLEARLY SEPARATE THOSE REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING AIRWORTHINESS FROM THE OTHERS.

  13. MIL-HDBK-516 PERF+AW 2nd: issue MTQC JSSG 2001 AW 1st: issue MTC CERTIFICATION or QUALIFICATION? PERFORMANCE ORIENTED TECH SPECH AIRWORTHINESS BASIS BOTH STANDARDS MUST BE COMPATIBLE

  14. WHAT ARE THE MILITARY AIRWORTHINESS AUTHORITIES NEEDS? • MILITARY REGULATE AIRWORTHINESS AND PERFORMANCES BY CONTRACT • THE DEFINITION OF UNAMBIGUOUS-COMPLETE-FEASABLE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CAN LEAD TO A SUCCESSFUL PROCUREMENT PROCESS • MAWA NEEDS A FULL SET OF HARMONIZED SPECIFICATION GUIDES: • ASSURING FULL A/C VS SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS TRACEABILITY (TOP=>DOWN AND DOWN=>TOP) AND FULL HARMONIZATION OF A/C AND SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS • PROVIDING 100% FLEXIBILITY IN DEFINING QUANTITATIVE VALUES FOR EACH REQUIREMENT • UPDATED TO MILITARY AEROSPACE INDUSTRY STATE OF THE ART • PROVIDE BEST PRACTICE IN REDUCING MILITARY PROCUREMENT TECHNICAL RISKS
