Military Airworthiness Certification

Our staff members have direct experience with certifying rocket systems on military fixed wings or rotary wings aircraft and have dealt extensively with different end-users on developmental processes and airworthiness determination.

Military aircraft are complex and highly capable systems. It requires years of experience to understand what it takes to deliver and sustain airworthy and safe systems.

Our knowledge stems from hands on experience covering various aspects from defining Air Force policy for airworthiness, incorporating airworthiness and safety into systems engineering processes in a cost effective and streamlined application, leading first flight independent reviews, risk and hazard analysis and assisting to certify rocket systems as airworthy.

Thales can assist end-users, OEM manufacturers (aircraft & helicopters) with key airworthiness planning and support by:

  • Developing and clarifying what is essential to cover in an airworthiness plan the reasons why it is necessary, and what the government expects industry to propose and do
  • Supporting decisions and rationale for certification approach
  • Including airworthiness criteria into the integrated master plan and technical reviews efficiently to minimize cost and schedule risk
  • Meeting and understanding end user requirements
  • Supplemental type certification : understanding major modification requirements
  • Interpreting policy, understanding military expectations and risk management
  • Program planning and strategy development: requirements for the airworthiness plan
  • Assessing adequacy of programs risk and hazard analyses
  • Assisting in planning for and defining technical measures as entrance and exit criteria required to successfully conduct program technical reviews
  • Assisting in determining if requisite airworthiness requirements are satisfied to enable first flight release
  • Assisting in preparing for airworthiness board reviews
