FEEDBACK TOPICS DGAA • 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.

FEEDBACK TOPICS DGAA 1. IMPLEMENT THE PROCUREMENT ORIENTED VISION RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT PERFORMANCES ARE AS IMPORTANT AS AIRWORTHINESS 2.
