  3. Who is Jeff Langhout • Raised in Huntsville • BIE, Auburn 1986; MSE, UAH 1991 • Army employee since April 1986. • MSIC/TSMO (1986-2002), Cargo PM (2002-2013), AED (2013-) • Christian • Believe 100% that God is always with me and wont throw at me more than I can handle • Our time on Earth is when we decide what eternity will be for each of us • Relationships run the world… processes are important, but people and their relationships are what gets things accomplished. • What you see is what you get • Hobbies: Golf and taking care of church stuff… • Married to Jackie for 26 years. Children -- Grace 21, Robert 18

  4. WHAT IS AED? • As the FAA is to commercial aviation – AED is to most of Army Aviation • Mission: “Deliver responsive airworthiness solutions throughout the system life cycle. Sustain the leadership and engineering expertise necessary to provide valued products to our aviation customers”

  5. AIRWORTHINESS • Definition: “The property of an air system configuration to safely attain, sustain, and complete flight in accordance with approved usage limits” • Governed by Army Regulation 70-62 • DA-G4 (LTG Mason) is the Airworthiness Proponent • AMCOM CG (MG Collyar) is the Airworthiness Authority • MG Collyar delegates to AED for the majority of Army Aviation

  6. Aviation Engineering Directorate AIRWORTHINESS Delegated Airworthiness Authority for ~ 4000 manned and 8000 unmanned a/c ~ 100 different model/design/series Liaison Engineers in the field enabling readiness and OPTEMPO Principal architects of UAS airworthiness policy DoDD 5030.61 on airworthiness International Military Airworthiness Authority recognition Production Approval Design Approval Continuing Airworthiness Standards • Personnel • Civil Service ~ 500 • PhD ~ 20 • Masters Degree ~ 165 • Bachelors Degree ~ 350 • Contractors ~ 300

  7. Aviation Engineering Directorate Director Deputy Director Business Mgmt Division Associate Director for Technology Associate Director for Systems Aeromechanics Division Maintenance Engr Division Aviation Systems Division Armed Scout Helo Division Sustainment Division Mission Equipment Division Cargo Division Special Opns Aircraft Division Propulsion Division Apache Division Utility Division Structures & Materials Division Unmanned Aircraft Systems Division Non-Standard RW Division SED Aviation Division

  8. WHY DO OUR CUSTOMERS NEED US • Because of The Quality Products We Provide: • Airworthiness Releases (AWR) • Statement of Airworthiness Qualification (SAQ) • Airworthiness Impact Statements (AWIS) • Airworthiness Qualification Plans (AQP) • Expert reviews of assigned CDRLs • Quality Deficiency Reporting (QDR) analysis • Expert analysis, advice, service, and consultation in: structures and materiel, aeromechanics, mission equipment, propulsion, sustaining and maintenance engineering, and test support.

  9. THE BIG THREE • Three Key Points I continue to drive home with the workforce and our customers. • 1. We take our mission seriously, we don’t take ourselves seriously. • 2. Our job is to get our customers to their finish line. • 3. We want our customers to want us on their teams, not have to have us on their teams.

  10. Transforming • As a necessity due the Army’s role with MI-17 and furthered now with the adoption of DOD Directive 5030.61… • AED’s role now includes validating/verifying processes rather than conducting detailed engineering data analysis when determining airworthiness acceptability of foreign airworthiness authorities.

  11. Foreign Military Airworthiness Authority (MAA) Recognition Russia NATO AWWG Singapore (CH-47, AH-64) Italy (C-27J) Canada (CH-47) Canada Unilateral US Navy United Kingdom US Army Bilateral USAF Czech New Zealand Netherlands Australia UK (in work) Peers Near Peers Sweden (in work) Others Air and Space Interoperability Council (ASIC)

  12. WHAT LIES AHEAD • Sequestration isn’t going away anytime soon • Our customer budgets are shrinking • 80+ % of our money comes from our customers… • Continued “quality of life” pressures • Hiring freeze – so struggling to build the bench • All that said: • AED will continue to make the choice to be happy and motivated. • We are a proud organization that looks forward to continuing to provide quality and timely products to our customers.
