  3. Introduction

  4. Introduction Quality problemswithin NLD military aviation: Disputable ‘airworthiness’Cabin safety underexposed Dwindling knowledge ‘Independence’ of the Authority Oversight of the Authority Expertise of the Authority Accidents are speeding up reforms: ‘Recognition’ of societal responsibilities Airworthy aircraft  Safe aviationMission first, safety alwaysAdequate risk assessment

  5. EU Directive 1592/2002Regulation on establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation and creating a European Aviation Safety Agency Article 1. Scope 1. This Regulation shall apply to: (a) the design, production, maintenance and operation of aeronautical products, parts and appliances, as well as personnel and organisations involved in the design, production and maintenance of such products, parts and appliances; (b) personnel and organisations involved in the operation of aircraft. 2. This Regulation shall not apply when products, parts, appliances, personnel and organisations referred to in paragraph 1 are engaged in military, customs, police, or similar services. The Member States shall ensure that such services have due regard as far as practicable to the objectives of this Regulation.

  6. EU Directive 1592/2002Regulation on establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation and creating a European Aviation Safety Agency Article 2. Objectives 1. The principal objective of this Regulation is to establish and maintain a high uniform level of aviation safety in Europe. 2. Additional objectives are, in the fields covered by this Regulation, as follows: (a) to ensure a high uniform level of environmental protection; (b) to facilitate the free movement of goods, persons and services; (c) to promote cost-efficiency in the regulatory and certification processes and to avoid duplication at national and European level; (d) to assist Member States in fulfilling their obligations under the Chicago Convention, by providing a basis for a common interpretation and uniform implementation of its provisions, and by ensuring that its provisions are duly taken into account in this Regulation and in the rules drawn up for its implementation; (e) to promote Community views regarding civil aviation safety standards and rules throughout the world by establishing appropriate cooperation with third countries and international organisations. 3. The means of achieving the objectives set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be: (a) the preparation, adoption and uniform application of all necessary acts; (b) the recognition, without additional requirements, of certificates, licences, approvals or other documents granted to products, personnel and organisations in accordance with this Regulation and its implementing rules; (c) the establishment of an independent European Aviation Safety Agency; (d) the uniform implementation of all necessary acts by the national aviation authorities and the Agency within their respective areas of responsibility.

  7. ICAO / EASA philosophy Military Aviation Authority Strategic Choices • 1. To adopt and adapt civil aviation industry´s ‘best regulatory practices’ • 2. To establish a separate and joint aviation authority for the military

  8. Military Aviation Authority • 1. Focus on the military (based on minimum military aviation requirements). • 2. ‘Independent’. • 3. Relations with other military and civil aviation authorities. • Netherlands policy: • No additional requirements on industry. • No approval scheme’s.

  9. Military Aviation Requirements

  12. International developments

  13. International 1. This approach was presented at the European Air Chiefs Conference (EURAC) [Finland, Rovaniemi, 2002] Mission first... 2. The approach was discussed at the 1st International Military Aviation Authority Conference (IMAAC) [The Netherlands, The Hague, 2004] Safety always...

  14. The recognised need 1. Standardisation requirements: e.g. airworthiness - (aircraft) type certification -, training (military licences), release to service 2. Safety requirements: e.g. occurrence reporting, continued airworthiness, passenger safety, operations

  15. Acceptability of AS/EN 9100 series

  16. What is required? The basis for ‘quality’ in the military is incorporated in contracts. Quality clauses should be: • explicit • clear & unambiguous • non-generic (tier-related)

  17. ‘Make it happen…’ ‘Be cheap…’ ‘Be quick…’ Contracts Industry does not compete on safety, but ‘quality’ can be negotiated...

  18. Consequences of Military Aviation Requirements 1. The Military will seek compliance to their military aviation requirements; 2. Contracts with all tiers of the aerospace supply chain will reflect these minimum requirements; 3. Robust quality standards relevant to (military) aviation will be required...

  19. Acceptability AS/EN 9100 alone is not sufficient: AS/EN 9100 could be sufficient: the military has to comply to other standards as well e.g. AQAP (NATO) as a relevant and robust aviation quality standard…. ….helping the military to comply to Military Aviation Requirements.

  20. Conclusions andVision

  21. Conclusions 1. Further development of Military Aviation Requirements based on EASA rules and principles is inevitable. 2. Military Aviation Authorities will become more visible. 3. Joint Military Aviation Authorities will emerge (now project related - in future more permanent).

  22. Vision • A common policy on (military) aviation quality standards is in the interest of both the industry and the military: • IAQG offers opportunities for advanced thinking; • IMAAC may be the forum for reflection with the military aviation.

  23. IAQG be aware: Military Aviation Authorities are watching you!
