1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. GENERAL
Italian Presidential Decree no. 90 of 15 March 2010, Article 119, establishes that the
Directorate of Air Armaments and Airworthiness (DAAA), in accordance with Article
745 of the Italian Navigation Code, shall be responsible for certifying, registering and
authorizing Military Aircraft for air navigation.
The DAAA, as National Military Airworthiness Authority (NMAA), takes part in the
O
Military Airworthiness Authorities Forum (MAWA Forum) of the European Defence S
U
Agency (EDA). The aim of the Forum is to establish a common regulatory framework L'
L
among the European Military Airworthiness Authorities in order to harmonise military
E
D
airworthiness requirements, processes and procedures across Europe. The MAWA

A
developed a set of European Military Airworthiness Requirements (EMARs), M
I
published by the EDA, to be implemented by each participant Member State (pMS) in R
P
its own domestic regulation framework, for the purposes of managing the initial,
A'
continued and continuing airworthiness. T
I
D
In this context, the DAAA is responsible for: I
L
A
- certifying the initial and continued airworthiness of military aircraft and related V

A
products, parts and appliances; L

E
- approving design and production organisations; N
R
- authorising Military Permits to Fly (MPtF). A
C

1.2. PURPOSE RI
E
V

P
establishes in order to govern the obligations and privileges of the applicant for, and M
holder of, any certificate issued or to be issued in accordance with this regulation. A

This EMAR relies on definitions laid down in EMAD 1. A
T
A
EMAR 21 Edition 1.2 has been produced to address the EASA Part 21 amendments P
M
from M6 (2011) up to and including Commission Regulation (EU) No 69/2014 and
A
the corresponding AMC & GM. In deliberating the amendments, Task Force 2 have T
S
engaged with EASA to better understand the rationale for some of the amendments,
A
as a result EMAR 21 Edition 1.2 maintains coherence with the corresponding version I
P
of EASA Part 21, deviating only where it is necessary for use within a military O
airworthiness context. C

Specifically EMAR 21 Edition 1.2 does not include the EASA Part 21 amendment in
relation to European Light Aircraft (ELA)1 or ELA2 aircraft as these are not deemed
to be representative of typical military aircraft. The EASA Part 21 amendment relating
to ‘standard changes’ have also not been included as this is considered inappropriate
for use within a military airworthiness context.

The EASA Part 21 amendment relating to Operational Suitability Data (OSD) has not
been fully incorporated into EMAR 21 Edition 1.2, although it is recognised through
