EUROPEAN MILITARY AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS EMAR 21 CERTIFICATION OF MILITARY AIRCRAFT AND RELATED PRODUCTS, PARTS AND APPLIANCES, AND DESIGN AND PRODUCTION ORGANISATIONS SECTION A Edition Number 1.1 Edition Date 23 Sept 2014 Status Approved MILITARY AIRWORTHINESS AUTHORITIES FORUM EMAR 21 SECTION A - CERTIFICATION OF MILITARY AIRCRAFT AND RELATED PRODUCTS, PARTS AND APPLIANCES, AND DESIGN AND PRODUCTION ORGANISATIONS DOCUMENT CONTROL DOCUMENT APPROVAL The following table identifies the persons who have approved this document Edition No: MAWA Forum/TF Authorised by DATE Prepared Mr. Paul Robinson Task Force 2 30 July 2014 by Ed 1.1 TF2 Chairman Mr. Jan Plevka Approved MAWA Forum 23 Sept 2014 by F22 MAWA Forum Chairman Note: EMAR 21 Section A Edition 0.1 was sent for consultation with the 26 pMS from 17th June to 16th August 2011. All comments received during this period were incorporated into a Comment Response Sheet (CRS) and sent to MAWA Task Force 2 for consideration. EMAR 21 Section A Edition 0.4 incorporated the amendments that were made as a result of the output of the CRS and was approved by the 14th MAWA Forum on 17th April 2012. EMAR Section A Edition 1.0 was then published. EMAR 21 Section B Edition 0.1 was sent for consultation with the 26 pMS from 19th April to 18th June 2012. All comments received during this period were incorporated into a Comment Response Sheet (CRS) and sent to MAWA Task Force 2 for consideration. EMAR 21 Section B Edition 0.3 incorporated the amendments that were made as a result of the output of the CRS and was approved by the 17th MAWA Forum on 23rd Jan 2013. The 17th MAWA Forum meeting agreed that EMAR 21 Section A (Ed.1.0) and Section B (Ed.0.3) should be combined into this single document to create EMAR 21 Edition 1.0 (Combined). During the development of EMAR 21 AMC & GM, it became necessary to review EMAR 21 Edition 1.0 (combined) to bring it up to a coherent amendment state. This review addressed a number of areas: Edition Number : 1.1 Edition Date : 23 Sept 2014 Status: Approved Page 2/114 EMAR 21 SECTION A - CERTIFICATION OF MILITARY AIRCRAFT AND RELATED PRODUCTS, PARTS AND APPLIANCES, AND DESIGN AND PRODUCTION ORGANISATIONS  The removal of Subpart Z in both Section A and B and associated references; numerous minor amendments to reflect both the outcome of the TF2 Military Type-Certificate Workshop and the specific considerations for the usage of military aircraft.  Changes in EASA Part 21 up to and including M6 have been incorporated where relevant.  Under the direction of the MAWA Forum, in Section B, revert from the permissive verb „will‟ back to the mandatory verb „shall‟ in-line with other EMAR Section B documents. In undertaking the review, Task Force 2 has tried to maintain a clear link to the principles of EASA Part 21, making changes where necessary for use within a military airworthiness context. In accordance with the direction received from the MAWA Forum, all amended paragraphs from EMAR 21 Edition 1.1 are indicated by the use of a „sidebar‟ in the margin. This can be readily cross-referenced using the table at the end of the document which details each change. This EMAR relies on definitions laid down in EMAD 1.
