GENERAL VIEW OF THE AIRWORTHINESS COMMUNITY

ACROSS EUROPE IS THAT HARMONISATION IS HIGHLY
DESIRABLE … BUT:

• DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE AIRWORTHINESS

CONSENSUS BETWEEN NATIONS ON INDIVIDUAL
MULTI-NATIONAL PROJECTS
– HARMONISATION REACHED ONLY AT SINGLE PROGRAM
LEVEL (EF2000, NH90, A400M…)
• MANY AIRWORTHINESS INITIATIVES IN EU AND
ELSEWHERE AIMED AT GENERAL HARMONISATION …
BUT UNCOORDINATED
• HIGH RISK THAT THERE WILL BE DUPLICATION OF
EFFORT AND WITH LIMITED RESOURCES THIS IS
UNTENABLE
