Airworthiness Roles Responsibilities
(As Civil As Possible As Military as Necessary)

Themes

• Why as civil as possible as military as
  necessary
• International Procurement
• Different roles within an IPT
• Principle Airworthiness Roles
• Possible Models

3
Why? (As civil as possible)

• ICAO due regard Chicago Convention 1944
• EASA due regard as far as practicable to the
  objectives of this regulation 216/2008
• CAA ANO
• SofS derogations from legislation
• International Military Procurement
• Where Defence can rely on exemptions or
  derogations from either domestic or international
  law, we introduce standards and management
  arrangements that are, so far as reasonably
  practicable, at least as good as those required
  by legislation.

International Military Aviation Procurement
Project specific arrangements are tailored for
each multinational programme This costs
a huge amount of time and money! ( leads to
tensions across partner nations and industry)

• Roadmap
• Common Regulatory Framework
• Common Certification Processes
• Common approach to Organisational Approvals
• Common certification/design codes
• Common approach to preservation of airworthiness
• Arrangements for mutual recognition
• Formation of European Military Joint
  Airworthiness Authority.

Conflict of interest?

• Each safety management organisation is to
  demonstrate a level of independence such that its
  activities are not unreasonably constrained by
  operating or commercial pressures.

Principles

• Structure of Airworthiness Roles in 3 Groups
• Regulation
• Management
• Delivery
• Organised to
• Create clarity of responsibility
• Avoid conflicts of interest within individual
  accountability
