UNCLASSIFIEDRoll outMAR-145 MAR-OPS M MAR-OPSMAR-147 MAR-FCL MAR-MAD/ANSPeople:Clear distribution of roles and responsibilitiesSimplicity:KISS – declare what and how we do (not “what weintend”, “should do” or “shall do”)Just Culture:No blame – fair – (military) risk minded14Royal Netherlands Air ForceMilitary Airworthiness Conference 2011 – Warsaw, Poland

UNCLASSIFIEDEarly experiences• MARs are accepted because they are about militaryaviation;• The „what‟ is in the MARs, the „how‟ is up to you;• MARs do require some radical changes in themilitary e.g. because there is an authoritymonitoring, approving and enforcing;• Both operator and authority must have adequate,competent resources;Best practices are readily available for MARs basedon EASA parts15Royal Netherlands Air ForceMilitary Airworthiness Conference 2011 – Warsaw, Poland

UNCLASSIFIEDLean experiences• Lean Expositions are adequate –integrality is a must;• Redundant orders must be withdrawn;• The Concern Director‟s staff role iscritical in Air Force policyharmonization and MAR interpretationamongst entities.• As Accountable Manager one hasvarious degrees of freedom to complyto MARs.Duplications in expositions can and shouldbe avoided (one entity, multiple approvals)16Royal Netherlands Air ForceMilitary Airworthiness Conference 2011 – Warsaw, Poland

UNCLASSIFIEDAssurance experiences• MAR-MAD introduced the safety managementprogram requirement – a logical development – but tobe well understood;• This requirement has been adopted by ICAO for civilaviation – a very useful best practice;• Safety management introduces explicitfocus on risk mitigation (pro-active);• Quality management should primarilyfocus on compliance monitoring;Safety Management reflects thelatest developments but has to bewell understood17Royal Netherlands Air ForceMilitary Airworthiness Conference 2011 – Warsaw, Poland

UNCLASSIFIEDBy-catch experiences• MARs are ideal for an entity focussed on training:setting the standard for pilots, maintainers andaerodrome operations;• MARs – especially when based on civil examples –facilitate communication with military and civil peersand industrial partners (e.g. PPP or outsourcing);• We need a common approach on civil/militaryaviation authority recognition• MARs provide a safeguard in “rough times”• MARs provide a very, very clear distribution of rolesand responsibilitiesMARs are easy “communicators”19Royal Netherlands Air ForceMilitary Airworthiness Conference 2011 – Warsaw, Poland

UNCLASSIFIEDFinal wordsAt Woensdrecht Air Base:• MAR-compliance works, is well accepted, guidesour business and has positively influenced ourquality and safety culture.• we are convinced that a MAR-framework with aTotal Aviation System approach - based on EASAparts - seamlessly connects the military into thecivil aviation.• MARs implementation requires an integralapproach, MAR-development as well, beyondtechnical airworthinessMission First, Safety Always20Royal Netherlands Air ForceMilitary Airworthiness Conference 2011 – Warsaw, Poland
