The ability of an aircraft, or other airborne equipment or system, to operate in flight and on ground without significant hazard to aircrew, ground-crew, passengers (where relevant) or to other third parties. Initial airworthiness Airworthiness Codes. Product airworthiness requirements, applicable to the design of a product, that are approved by a competent airworthiness authority for the use with standardised aircraft categories (e.g. EASA CS, FAA FAR, STANAG, Def-STAN, etc.). Authority. Unless otherwise defined in specific EMAR, Authority means a National Military Airworthiness Authority responsible for the airworthiness of military aircraft hereto and "the Authorities" means all the military Authorities responsible for airworthiness hereto. Airworthiness Directive (AD). A document issued or adopted by the authority which mandates actions to be performed on an aircraft to restore an acceptable level of safety, when evidence shows that the safety level of this aircraft may otherwise be compromised. (ref. EMAR 21) Certificate of Release to Service. This is a statement, signed by an appropriately authorised person, on behalf of an approved organisation, which asserts that maintenance has been properly carried-out. The CRS contains the basic details of the maintenance carried out, the date that it was completed and the identity (may include an authorisation stamp) of the person issuing the certificate. Certification. Recognition that a product, part or appliance, organisation or person complies with the applicable airworthiness requirements followed by the declaration of compliance. Continued (design) airworthiness. All tasks to be carried-out to verify that the conditions under which a type-certificate or a supplemental type-certificate has been granted continue to be fulfilled at any time during its period of validity. Continuing airworthiness. All of the processes ensuring that, at any time in its operating life, the aircraft complies with the airworthiness requirements in force and is in a condition for safe operation. Derogation. Built in exemptions. Exposition. Management plan. The document or documents that contain the material specifying the scope of work deemed to constitute approval and showing how the organisation complies with an EMAR. Fit for Flight. Condition of a type design being certified as compliant with applicable airworthiness requirements as well as of an aircraft having been serviced and inspected as meeting the certified design and prepared for the intended flight. Military Type Certificate (MTC). Recognition that a product complies with the applicable airworthiness requirements. Military Supplemental Type Certificate. A document issued or endorsed by the Authority which certifies a major change to the type design by an organisation other than original design organisation. Products, Parts and Appliances Product = aircraft, engine or propeller (each can be granted with a TC), Parts and appliances = lower level components for which an ETSO/TSO may exist. Repair. A 'repair' means the elimination of damage and/or restoration to an airworthy condition following initial release into service by the manufacturer of any product, part or appliance. Special Conditions. Are introduced when the design features of a particular product or the experience in operation render any of the airworthiness code provisions inadequate or inappropriate to ensure conformity with essential requirements. Type Certificate Holder. The organisation responsible for the relevant Type Design and applying for, and then holding, the Type Certificate and accepting the rights and obligations for the product. Type Certification Basis. An agreed set of airworthiness requirements a product must be compliant with in order to obtain a Type Certificate. For more details see EMAR 21. Type Design. The minimum set of approved design information necessary to define the product type; as detailed in 21A.31.

Organisational Approvals EMAR 21 - SUBPART G Military Production Organisational Approval (MPOA) Rules for showing compliance of products, parts, appliance with applicable design data through an approved organisation Established and maintained quality system Release artefacts Complete aircraft: Statement of Conformity Parts and appliances: Authorised Release Certificate Production Organisation Exposition No design privileges associated with this subpart Key differences to TAREG TAREG do not regulate production organisations

Organisational Approvals EMAR 21 – SUBPART F Production without military production organisation approval (MPOA) Details procedure for demonstrating conformity with Subpart G without having gained the formal MPOA Production Inspection System, not independent quality system Valid for 12 months E.g. producing/installing simple parts for a modification upgrade, for which production organisational approval considered too costly Key differences to TAREG TAREG do not regulate production organisations Limited production regulations (3.5.19) – sustainment, design/modification context

Organisational Approvals EMAR 21 - SUBPART J Military Design Organisation Approval (MDOA) Procedure for approval Design assurance system Design Organisation Exposition Ability to classify designs and repairs (major or minor) Privileges (scope, e.g approval of minor changes to type design) Obligations of the holder Key differences to TAREG EMAR do not contain prescriptive Design Control System elements (such as Judgement of Significance, levels of EA), nor Design Acceptance, Incorporation Approval (IA) or Service Release (SR). Intent of these functions are addressed through distinct MTC holder responsibilities, clearer organisational and individual accountabilities and introduction of CAMO (IA and SR)

EMAR 21 - SUBPART A Other Subparts General Provisions Requirements to manage failures, malfunctions and defects Airworthiness Directives Coordination between design and production Key differences to Defence airworthiness regs EMAR (and the rest of the world) use ADs for the Authority to mandate actions to be performed to restore an aircraft to acceptable level of safety. Defence use ADs to issues airworthiness policy or as an instrument to support flight operations Airworthiness Directive used very differently in Defence compared to the rest of the global aviation community. Rest of the world uses Airworthiness Directives as meaning a document issued or adopted by the Authority which mandates actions to be performed on an aircraft to restore an acceptable level of safety. This is never the way it is used in Defence. AD have been used in Defence to issue airworthiness policy/ draft airworthiness regulations  (eg Crash Protection / Crash Data Recorder), airworthiness instrument supporting flight operations (eg AD supporting JSF).

EMAR 21 - SUBPART B & E Other Subparts SUBPART E: Military type-certificates (MTCs) and military restricted type-certificates (MRTCs) Procedure for issuing: MTC for products (Aircraft, Engines, Propellers) MRTC for aircraft MRTC used to support military aviation operations prior to completion of all certification elements Airworthiness codes (EMACC) Type-cert basis Certification Program Plan MTC holder obligations Instructions for continuing airworthiness

EMAR 21 - SUBPART B & E Other Subparts SUBPART E: Supplemental Type Certificates A major change to Type Design is proposed and : Applicant is not the Military Type Certificate Holder Key differences to TAREG EMAR less prescriptive EMAR require identification of a MTC Holder and regulate associated obligations for continuing validity of the Type Certificate Defence TRF does not contain an aw code – instead AAP7001.054 ADRM

Other Subparts EMAR 21 - SUBPART D Changes to military type-certificates and military restricted type-certificates Procedure for approval of changes to type designs and type-cert Classification of changes Major and minor changes (GM is comprehensive) Airworthiness codes Design Approval Instructions for continuing airworthiness

EMAR 21 - SUBPART H Other Subparts Military certificates of airworthiness and military restricted certificates of airworthiness Procedure for issuing airworthiness certificates applicable to a MTC or a MRTC Key differences to TAREG Defence airworthiness regs use Special Flight Permits prior to issuing AMTC/SR & Certificates of Airworthiness Defence airworthiness regs do not allow issue of a certificate of airworthiness under SFP. Instead “draft” Certificate of Airworthiness often used to support DAR attestation to load aircraft on Defence State Register

Organisational Approvals EMAR 21 - SUBPART O Technical Standard Order (FAA) A TSO is a minimum performance standard for specified materials, parts, and appliances used on civil aircraft. A TSO Authorization is not an approval to install and use the article in the aircraft European Military technical standard order authorisations (EMTSO) Procedure for issuing EMTSO authorisations TSO covers design and production approval Declaration of Design and Performance (DDP) – akin to a TCDS Key differences to TAREG TAREG do not regulate in this area. Implicitly cover TSO / Military TSO through substitution (3.5.7) and certification processes (design emphasis only).

EMAR 21 - SUBPART P Other Subparts Military permit to fly Procedure for issuing military permits to fly Approving flight conditions, eg Flight Test, Exhibition, Ferry Can be issued for aircraft that do not meet or have not been shown to meet applicable airworthiness requirements but are capable of safe flight. Key differences to Defence airworthiness regs No direct equivalent Similarities to some uses of a Special Flight Permit, Airworthiness Directive, Flight Test Permit
