– SAVING TIME AND RESOURCES • MANY AIRWORTHINESS INITIATIVES IN EU AND

ELSEWHERE AIMED AT GENERAL HARMONISATION … BUT UNCOORDINATED.

• MAWA

• CIVIL AND MILITARY APPROACHES TO “VERIFY

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS” ARE DIFFERENT

– CIVIL CERTIFICATION SOMETIMES DOESN’T

COVER COMPLETELY THE MILITARY REQ.S
