2 Topics Background to the MAWA Initiative MAWA approach Progress Achieved Next Steps Benefits 2

3 Background to the MAWA Initiative

4 Early Impulses Civil aviation harmonisation of airworthiness since 1944 Chicago Convention. The military applied national rather than harmonised/international approach However, military in Europe recognised that there were drawbacks to the fragmented approach to airworthiness management First steps were made when Nations started common multinational programmes ( Tornado, Typhoon, NH90, A400M ) and with higher integration of aerospace industry (ASD) Number of international activities for coordination of military airworthiness started in period: - NSA, FINAS, OCCAR, JMAAN, ETAP.. 4

5 EDA Political Decisions April National Armaments Steering Board (SB) tasked EDA to prepare for the creation of an EU-wide Airworthiness forum Nov 2008-EDA Steering Board (SB) decision of MODs to establish the MAWA Forum with a view to developing an EU-wide regulatory framework Nov 2009-Defence Ministers Political Declaration for the timely development and early implementation of the harmonised European Military Airworthiness Requirements (EMARs) into national regulations Nov 2013-Defence Ministers Political Declaration on certification and airworthiness framework conditions necessary to support certification of military RPAS monitor and encourage possible solutions for a coherent and timely implementation of European Military Airworthiness Requirements, taking advantage of lessons learned EDA is invited to report back on the progress achieved by the end of 2014 and regularly thereafter.. 5

6 The MAWA Roadmap Objectives 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 a European Military Joint Airworthiness Authorities Organisation 6

8 MAWA Forum approach MAWA Forum is made up of representatives from National Military Airworthiness Authorities (or equivalent) MAWA Forum has the mandate, responsibility and authority to develop the harmonised European Military Airworthiness processes necessary to achieve the Roadmap objectives Additionally, to meet the Roadmap objectives, common European Military Airworthiness Requirements (EMARs) are being developed Implementation of the EMARs into national regulations remains a sovereign decision of each pms, noting the political declaration made in Nov

9 The MAWA Approach

12 Progress achieved to date

13 Progress to date BFD Edition approved by pms on 23 rd May To date, 22 pms have signed this (or previous) Editions. 13

15 Progress to date EMAR 21 ( Initial Airworthiness Certification) - Section A&B Ed 1.0 already approved by pms. Associated AMC & GM released for national consultation (60 days) in January Section A&B are currently being updated to align with latest EASA Documentation Ed 1.1, Annexes and AMC/GM expected to be approved in September

16 Progress to date (cont d ) EMACC Handbook & Guidebook (European Military Airworthiness Certification Criteria) - contains a framework of certification criteria to assist in the determination of airworthiness for all manned and unmanned, fixed and rotary wing air systems. - is a foundation document to be used by the relevant national military aviation authorities (NMAA) to define the air system s Type Certification Basis. 16

17 Progress to date EMACC Handbook (European Military Airworthiness Certification Criteria) and associated Guidebook - EMACC Handbook currently Ed 2.0 and Guidebook currently Ed Work has been initiated to consider updates to source documents (STANAGs, EASA Certification Specifications, U.S Joint Service Specification Guides and UK Defence Standards). 17

18 Progress to date EMAR 145 (Aircraft Maintenance Organisations) - approved by pms. Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) are available. - Will be reviewed for updating in

19 Progress to date EMAR 147 (Aircraft Maintenance Training Organisations) - Section A&B Ed 1.0 already approved by pms. - Section A&B Ed 1.1 (updated to take into account EMAR 66), together with its associated AMC & GM, released for national consultation (60 days) in January Ed 1.1 and AMC/GM expected to be approved in September

20 Progress to date EMAR 66 (Military Aircraft Maintenance Licensing) - Section A&B together with its associated AMC & GM, released for national consultation (60 days) in January Ed 1.0 and AMC/GM expected to be approved in September

21 Progress to date EMAR M (Continuing Airworthiness Requirements) - Drafting initiated on EMAR M (+ associated AMC/GM) - Target is approval of Section A & B and the associated AMC & GM by the end of

22 Progress to date EMAD 1 (Definitions and Acronyms) - approved by pms. - Will be regularly reviewed and updated as EMARs are developed. 22

23 Progress to date EMAD R (Recognition) - Ed 1.0 approved by pms. - Ed 1.1 (updated for external recognition) released for national consultation (60 days) in January Ed 1.1 expected to be approved in September

24 Next Steps

25 Recognition Activities EMAD R has been developed to formalize the process by which nations can recognize airworthiness activities carried out by another pms (e.g. certificates and approvals) In March 2013, FR (DSAE) & UK (MAA) became first 2 pms to recognise each others activities, in the field of continuing airworthiness primarily focused on the A400M ISS. In December 2013, French (DSAÉ) Recognised NMAA of Spain - (DGAM) on Continuing Airworthiness Assurance 25

26 Future MAWA Forum activities To maintain the momentum achieved so far in Harmonising airworthiness activities amongst pms Continue the development of EMARs and associated AMCs and GMs - Target is to complete development of all EMARs by end 2015 The main focus for National Military Airworthiness Authorities will be EMAR implementation - EMAR Question Sets being developed to enable EMAR compliance declaration process to aid Recognition 26 26

27 Benefits

28 Benefits of Harmonisation Safety within Civil & Military aviation is paramount Key Enabler for Pooling & Sharing activities Enhanced Military-Military & Civil-Military cooperation Reduced time & costs for new aircraft development Common approach to maintenance and repair - Better possibility for outsourcing of maintenance and repair - Cross border maintenance - Improved cooperation on operations Common licensing and educational schemes for maintenance personnel Helping to improve the competiveness of industry. 28
