FEEDBACK TOPICS• GENERAL VIEW OF THE AIRWORTHINESS COMMUNITY ACROSS

EUROPE IS THAT HARMONISATION IS HIGHLY DESIRABLE:– SAVING TIME AND RESOURCES

• MANY AIRWORTHINESS INITIATIVES IN EU AND ELSEWHERE AIMED AT GENERAL HARMONISATION … BUT UNCOORDINATED.

• MAWA IS THE AUTHORIZED (TOP COVER) FORUM TO PUSH AIRWORTHINESS HARMONISTATION – HIGH RISK THAT THERE WILL BE DUPLICATION OF EFFORT AND

WITH LIMITED RESOURCES THIS IS UNTENABLE• CIVIL AND MILITARY APPROACHES TO “VERIFY DESIGN

REQUIREMENTS” ARE DIFFERENT– CIVIL CERTIFICATION SOMETIMES DOESN’T COVER

COMPLETELY THE MILITARY REQ.S

1. IMPLEMENT THE PROCUREMENT ORIENTED VISION RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT PERFORMANCES ARE AS IMPORTANT AS AIRWORTHINESS

2. THE DEFINITION OF UNAMBIGUOUS-COMPLETE-FEASABLE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION (AIRWORTHINESS+SAFETY TARGETS+PERFORMANCE) CAN LEAD TO A SUCCESSFUL PROCUREMENT PROCESS

MAWA RECCOMENDED ACTION PLAN

• EDA TO BE MORE PROACTIVE IN RATIONALISING OTHER AIRWORTHINESS FORUM

• MAWA WILL NOT DEVELOP NEW SPECIFIC DESIGN STANDARDS, UTILISING EXISTING STANDARDS (UK SYSTEM, US SYSTEM, IT SYSTEM – SAFETY TARGET APPROACH - AND OTHERS IF EXISTING WITH THE SAME TECHNICAL LEVEL AND MATURITY CONTENTS)

• EVALUATE THEM FOR APPLICABILITY AND TECHNICAL CONTENTS AND EXPRESS PREFERENCE

• DEVELOPING AN EQUIVALENT MIL-HDB-516B DOCUMENT THAT POINTS TO THE EXISTING MILITARY/CIVIL STANDARDS

• EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY TO LINK MAWA PROCEDURES WITH US US MILITARY WORLD
