Closing presentation from Day 2 of IMARC Melbourne 2016.

There is a requirement within aviation to understand the frameworks of different regulators. An aircraft designed and certified in Europe may be operated in Asia by an Australian operator. In each of these areas a different set of regulations are applicable. The requirements of regulators are outlined in their airworthiness frameworks. Within the c...

In the last 10 years, Military Airworthiness Authority (MAA) awareness of their responsibilities when acquiring aircraft, services or information from other airworthiness authorities has increased. One specific incident triggered this; a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) chartered aircraft accident that resulted in the death of 13 crew and...

licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). Selection and peer-review under responsibility Abstract Despite all current measures taken to assure their safety, aircraft are still crashing. Since 1944 there has been a global organization, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), focused on providing rules for safety in civil aviation in a global context. With...

licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). Selection and peer-review under responsibility Abstract International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) serve to harmonize the safety regulation of civil aviation around the world. ICAO SARPs are only applicable to countries signatory to the 1944 Chicago Convention and only to ci...

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...

The Air and Space Interoperability Council (ASIC) has adopted the European Defence Agency (EDA) process for interregulatory military airworthiness authority recognition. However, there are gaps in the application of this process to nations outside of the European Union. This paper proposes a model that can effectively map diverse technical airworth...

Air Transport has witnessed rapid growth in the past decade and it is foreseen it will need to accommodate growth to as many as twice the number of flights, by 2020. This challenging target will require a boost in capacity together with an increase of safety levels. Ground based legacy surveillance systems remain a bottleneck in addressing this cha...
