4. Defence Airworthiness Regulations

5. Defence Airworthiness Regulations
Hierarchical regulations evolved over 20 years
Key issues
Generally not outcome / hazard based - inefficient
Complex / not particularly useable (hierarchical)
Bespoke nature does not readily support recognition
Does not reflect contemporary practice
Recognised deficiencies in safety assurance
Continuing airworthiness, ongoing type certification management, production regulations

10 Principles of Better Aviation Regulation
Conclusion
New Defence Aviation Safety Regulation is warranted
Model off EASA framework

8. Why model DASR off EASA
Most contemporary, ICAO based, aviation safety regulations
Best addresses principles for better aviation regulation
Existence of a militarised set of technical Regulation
European Military Airworthiness Requirements

9. Example of future DASR

10. Example of future DASR

11. Technical DASRs – on aircraft
EMAR Part 21: Certification of military aircraft and related products, parts and appliances and Design and Production Organisations : Adopt
EMAR Part M: Continuing Airworthiness Requirements: Adopt
EMAR Part 145 : Requirements for Maintenance Organisations : Adopt
EMAR 66: Military Aircraft Maintenance Licensing Adapt
EMAR Part 147: Aircraft Maintenance Training Organisations : Adapt

12. Technical DASRs – off aircraft
EMAR do not cover, off-aircraft products
Model off regulation other than EASA/EMAR to address aviation safety for off-aircraft aviation technical materiel
Consider the use of relevance of existing safety obligations and systems of management (eg Legislation (WHS/ARPANSA, etc), ISO 9100/9001/NATA, etc) for design / production / sustainment of off-aircraft aviation technical materiel
For example a Army used Mack truck falls under Commonwealth legislation (WHS) and TRAMML and does not require additional DGTA-ADF oversight
For example aircraft tug is an industrial vehicle falls under Commonwealth legislation (WHS) and not TRAMML and not EMAR. In future DASR environment the organisations that operate or maintain may require to be ISO xx or equivalent.

13. Implementation Plan
DGTA-ADF and ACPA responsible for regulation development
Transition will be segmented
Opportunities for early adopters
Jan 16 : Draft regulations released
Dec 16 : New DASR promulgated subject to Defence AA approval
Dec 18 : Extant Defence Airworthiness Regulations (MILAVREG, OAREG, TAREG) no longer supported
