Rule Making Extract from 4 FFS 1997:15 (Armed Forces Code of Statutes for military aviation): FLYGI shall prepare rules as required for military aviation safety, including aviation medical activities etc. The rules shall be developed and maintained as required relating to entry into and operation within and exit from the military aviation system. Rules about military aviation shall be published in Rules of Military Aviation, RML.
Rules of Military Aviation, RML In short: The Swedish Rules of Military Aviation (RML) is a modern set of rules based on well established civil regulations with necessary military adjustments made, and with quality assurance requirements added.
Rules of Military Aviation, RML In general, RML is based on civil aviation rules RML-V-5, Rules for Operators and providers (MTC, DO, PO, CoA etc), is based on JAR 21 (in future, EASA Part 21) Requirements on a Quality Management System have been added (RML-V-1C) Based on ISO 9001 Adjustments made to the military environment A Military Aircraft System Level of Design Organisations has been added. A minimum Scope of Work for a DOA has been added. Adjusted way of establishing a Certification Basis. Other adjustments: Very limited extent.

No RML-M No RML-M is published, i.e. no RML Certification Specifications/ Codes such as FAR29 or CS27 exist. Still a Certification Basis (CB) has to be established. CB according to RML: All functional and physical requirement specifications and interface definitions of the system or product, including designated flight safety and airworthiness requirements. Not only airworthiness requirements in the CB. FLYGI focus on flight safety and AW requirements. The applicant has to propose a Certification Basis for FSI/FLYGI review and acceptance. This makes the certification management flexible. FSI/FLYGI prefers the use of well established standards such as FAR29 etc with necessary military adjustments. This procedure is deemed efficient; estimated no need for RML-M.
The Swedish Military Aviation System FLYGI is responsible for supervision of the Military Aviation System. Applicant Former member ENTRY CONTROL FSI issues Military Aviation Document (stipulates SoW, Capability, etc). EXIT CONTROL Member returns Military Aviation Document. MAD FUNCTIONAL SUPERVISION FLYGI performs functional supervision over the members of the Military Aviation System. Members = products, a/c systems, organisations, individuals. Acting in accordance with the Military Aviation Document. Major changes (of products, systems or organisations) must be submitted to FSI for approval. Rules of Military Aviation, RML, stipulates minimum requirements. 10
Military Aviation Document When passing entry control, the applicant becomes a member of the MAS, and a Military Aviation Document is issued by FSI (Head of FLYGI). Members of the aviation system are organisations, military aircraft systems, products, personnel etc, within Armed Forces / FMV / industry. The Military Aviation Document stipulates under which conditions the member has been authorised into the MAS.
Military Aviation Document Examples of Military Aviation Documents: Product certificates (CoA, FTP etc) Military Type Certificates (MTC) Military Aircraft System Clearances (MSC) Personal Licences (AML, FCL etc) Organisation Approvals (MDOA, POA, AOC etc)
