EMAR Part 21• Initial Airworthiness

– Design, Production and Certification– Airworthiness Instruments– Change to existing type design– Includes Aircraft and related products, parts and

appliances

• Key differences to TAREG– Contains all elements supporting initial airworthiness – Does not cover activities supporting continuing

airworthiness (eg configuration item regulations)

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)

Organisational Approvals

EMAT Part 21 Section A contents by Subpart• A – General provisions• B – Military Type-Certificates and Military

Restricted Type-Certificates• C – (Not applicable)• D – Changes to Military Type-Certificates

and Military Restricted Type-Certificates• E – Military Supplemental Type-

Certificates • F – Production without Military

Production Organisation Approval• G – Military Production Organisation

Approval• H – Military Certificates of Airworthiness

and Military Restricted Certificates of Airworthiness

Key Definitions

• I – Noise Certificates (to be added later if required)

• J – Military Design Organisation Approval

• K – Parts and Appliances• L – (Not applicable)• M – Repairs• N – (Not applicable)• O – European Military Technical

Standard Order Authorisations• P – Permit to Fly• Q – Identification of Products, Parts

and Appliances

EMAR 21 - SUBPART A• 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

Other Subparts

EMAR 21 - SUBPART B & E• 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

Other Subparts

EMAR 21 - SUBPART B & E• 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

Other Subparts

EMAR 21 - SUBPART H• 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

Other Subparts

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).

Organisational Approvals

EMAR 21 - SUBPART P• 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

Other Subparts

Key Definitions• Airworthiness• Airworthiness Codes• Authority• Airworthiness Directive (AD)• Certificate of Release to Service • Certification• Continued (design)

airworthiness• Continuing airworthiness• Derogation• Exposition• Fit for Flight

Key Definitions

• Military Type Certificate (MTC)• Military Restricted Type

Certificate (MRTC)• Military Supplemental Type

Certificate• Products, Parts and Appliances• Repair• Special Conditions• Type Certification Basis • Type Certificate Holder • Type Design

Organisational

Current Organisation under TAREG

Possible organisation under EMAR 21/145/M

Notes

AEO Approved Design Organisation• Design• Certification

Possibility for some personnel performing CAMO functions in SPO’s to move into CAMO

No single organisation Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO)

• Aircraft Configuration Management• Maintenance System (approved data)• Management/selection of designs onto

platform(s)

CAMO created. CAMO responsible for continuing airworthiness. Some CAMO tasks currently performed by SPO / Through Life Support Contractors (Lean SPO) SQN’s. For RAAF, could be within FEG

AMO AMO Some current AMO tasks may become the responsibility of the CAMO (refer above)
