chapter 3 the icao and the civil aviation authorities
Airworthiness (Third Edition)#R##N#An Introduction to Aircraft Certification and Operations, 2016Co-Authors: Filippo De FlorioAbstract:Aviation safety and civil aviation rules are the result of adapting and developing rules and organisation structures originally related to marine traffic. A fundamental milestone in this direction was in 1944, the Convention on International Civil Aviation (also known as the Chicago Convention), followed in 1947 by the constitution of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as a specialised agency of the United Nations, originally created to promote the safe and efficient development of civil aviation. This chapter describes the 18 (now 19) ICAO Annexes, which are the basis for the international aeronautical requirements, with a particular focus on the annexes at the basis of all Airworthiness requirements. This chapter also presents the structure of the most relevant Airworthiness authorities, the Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency, with some historical notes on the Joint Aviation Authorities.

Continued Airworthiness and Operation
Airworthiness, 2011Co-Authors: Filippo De FlorioAbstract:This chapter discusses the continued Airworthiness and operations. Safety must be ensured for all flight operations, and aircraft must constantly be maintained in an airworthy state. This means that all maintenance operations listed in the relevant manuals and Airworthiness Directives (ADs) must be performed. Continued Airworthiness also depends on the particular organizations of operators and maintenance. The continued Airworthiness is made by: maintenance and certification of operators. The term “maintenance” refers to preventive maintenance, alterations and repairs, and introduction of ADs. Airworthiness should depend on the maintenance programs, which also establishes the replacement of time change items, the overhaul of engines, propellers, and various parts and appliances. The certification of operators, and in particular their organization, operational procedures, manuals, crew employment and training, equipments, aircraft adequacy and maintenance, transport of dangerous goods, and protection against acts of unlawful interference.

Airworthiness an introduction to aircraft certification
2006Co-Authors: Filippo De FlorioAbstract:Understanding Airworthiness is central to maintaining and operating aircraft safely. While no book can replace the published Federal Aviation Regulation and Joint Aviation Requirements documentation for Airworthiness, this unique guide provides readers with a single reference to understanding and interpreting the Airworthiness requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, the US Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Key topics covered include: considerations of Airworthiness standards for all classes, including large and small aircraft, rotor craft, gliders and unmanned aircraft; type certification of aircraft, engines, and propellers and the type certification process; parts and appliances approval; and joint certifications and national certifications. New to this edition is coverage of certification for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS); new EASA standards procedures and documentation; and 'spaceworthiness' with relation to recent developments in commercial space travel.

continuing Airworthiness major drivers and challenges in civil and military aviation
Aviation, 2016Co-Authors: Huong Le, Ilias LappasAbstract:A wide regulatory reform is taking place world-wide in the continuing Airworthiness domain. The major influences for promoting changes in how continuing Airworthiness is managed are civil and military aircraft accidents to which fatigue, corrosion, wear, deterioration in ageing aircraft and the need for regulatory harmonisation of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) signatory states and the military were the contributing factors. Another emerging factor is the conversion of older passenger aircraft to freighters, which brings forth the concern that aircraft are being used in a capacity for which they were not designed. The challenges of the regulatory reform are acceptance, certification of maintenance organizations and personnel, education and training, as well as information sharing and administration. This paper presents both the drivers and challenges in these areas and proposes a related change management framework.

Create CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization) for small organisation
Vysoké učení technické v Brně. Fakulta strojního inženýrství, 2018Co-Authors: Medeová VeronikaAbstract:This diploma thesis deals with the issue of maintaining Airworthiness of aircraft, which is mostly limited by time, number of flew hours or number of landings. Based on the airplane data are scheduled regular services or replacement of individual parts are performed. All organizations authorized to perform these service activities must hold a certificate issued in accordance with Part M, Subpart G. Organizations authorized to provide Airworthiness monitoring are referred as CAMO. The aim of my work is to create CAMO for a small organization using one to three aircraft category CS-23 and to create a description of the regulations and requirements that this organization must follow for successful continuing Airworthiness management

Create CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization) for small organisation
Vysoké učení technické v Brně. Fakulta strojního inženýrství, 2018Co-Authors: Medeová VeronikaAbstract:Tato diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou zachování letové způsobilosti letadel, která je z velké části limitována časem, počtem nalétaných hodin nebo počtem přistání. Na základě údajů o náletu letadla jsou vykonávány plánované servisy nebo výměny jednotlivých dílů. Veškeré organizace oprávněné provádět tyto servisní činnosti, musí být držiteli osvědčení vydaného dle předpisu Part M, resp. podle její Podčásti G. Organizace, které jsou oprávněny poskytovat sledování letové způsobilosti se označují jako CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization). Cílem mé práce je vytvořit CAMO pro malou společnost provozující jeden až tři letouny kategorie CS-23 a popis předpisů a požadavků, které musí tato organizace splňovat pro úspěšné řízení zachování letové způsobilosti.This diploma thesis deals with the issue of maintaining Airworthiness of aircraft, which is mostly limited by time, number of flew hours or number of landings.

definition of an Airworthiness certification framework for civil unmanned aircraft systems
Safety Science, 2011Co-Authors: Reece A Clothier, Jennifer L. Palmer, Rodney A. Walker, Neale L. FultonAbstract:The development of effective safety regulations for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is an issue of paramount concern for industry. The development of this framework is a prerequisite for greater UAS access to civil airspace and, subsequently, the continued growth of the UAS industry. The direct use of the existing conventionally piloted aircraft (CPA) Airworthiness certification framework for the regulation of UAS has a number of limitations. The objective of this paper is to present one possible approach for the structuring of Airworthiness regulations for civilian UAS. The proposed approach facilitates a more systematic, objective and justifiable method for managing the spectrum of risk associated with the diversity of UAS and their potential operations. A risk matrix is used to guide the development of an Airworthiness certification matrix (ACM). The ACM provides a structured categorisation that facilitates the future tailoring of regulations proportionate to the levels of risk associated with the operation of the UAS. As a result, an objective and traceable link may be established between mandated regulations and the overarching objective for an equivalent level of safety to CPA. The ACM also facilitates the systematic consideration of a range of technical and operational mitigation strategies. For these reasons, the ACM is proposed as a suitable method for the structuring of an Airworthiness certification framework for civil or commercially operated UAS (i.e., the UAS equivalent in function to the Part 21 regulations for civil CPA) and for the further structuring of requirements on the operation of UAS in un-segregated airspace.

Definition of airworthness categories for civil unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)
Proceedings of The 27th International Congress of the Aeronautical Sciences, 2010Co-Authors: Reece A Clothier, Jennifer L. Palmer, Rodney A. Walker, Neale L. FultonAbstract:This paper introduces a novel strategy for the specification of Airworthiness certification categories for civil unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The risk-based approach acknowledges the fundamental differences between the risk paradigms of manned and unmanned aviation. The proposed Airworthiness certification matrix provides a systematic and objective structure for regulating the Airworthiness of a diverse range of UAS types and operations. An approach for specifying UAS type categories is then discussed. An example of the approach, which includes the novel application of data-clustering algorithms, is presented to illustrate the discussion.

the pbp bow tie framework for the systematic representation and comparison of military aviation regulatory frameworks
Aeronautical Journal, 2014Co-Authors: Leon Purton, Reece A Clothier, Kyriakos I. Kourousis, Kevin MasseyAbstract:This paper presents a novel framework, based on traditional system safety modelling approaches, for the representation and comparison of Airworthiness aviation frameworks. A disparate array of military Airworthiness frameworks have emerged due to a lack of standardisation and the absence of a recognised organisation needed for the harmonisation of military regulatory frameworks.. The complexity and subsequent cost in inter-agency recognition of existing certification programs has led to the establishment of a European forum of military Airworthiness authorities. The forum is working towards establishing a common regulatory framework across its European member states. The common framework provides the systematic basis for a certification of military aircraft that can be readily recognised by all of the member states. This will have many cost and efficiency benefits for the EU. The framework and recognition process have recently been accepted as a method for establishing recognition outside of Europe, with some identified shortfalls. This paper establishes a method for overcoming these shortfalls for nations outside of europe. The Product-Behaviour-Process (PBP) Bow-Tie, which is a novel application of the traditional bowtie risk modelling tool, derives test points that capture the Airworthiness attestations for the high-level engineering lifecycle processes of design, production and maintenance. The proposed framework is used to provide a comparison between the Australian Defence Force and United States Army regulatory frameworks. The comparative case-study clearly demonstrates the benefit of the PBP Bow-Tie model in its ability to systematically represent the disparate regulatory frameworks. A novel representation of the output is also described, which facilitates a visual comparison of the results. The application of the PBP Bow-Tie framework to the case-study of regulatory frameworks reveals significant differences that need to be addressed in order for inter-agency recognition.
