Airworthiness Governance & DASR 21
Delivering certified airworthiness assurance under the Defence Aviation Safety Regulations (DASR) and civil aviation frameworks.
Regulatory Integrity for Defence Aviation
In military aviation, airworthiness is the formal foundation of operational safety and mission readiness. AMCE aligns its engineering design processes with the Defence Aviation Safety Regulations (DASR) administered by the Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA), ensuring that all modifications and products satisfy the highest levels of design assurance.
DASR 21 Design Alignment
AMCE structures all engineering design packages, technical specifications, and compliance findings in strict accordance with DASR 21 requirements:
- Classification of Changes: Formal categorization of airframe modifications into Major or Minor design changes.
- Certification Plans (CP): Developing detailed certification strategies and Means of Compliance (MOC) matrices.
- Compliance Substantiation Reports (CSR): Authoring structured engineering evidence demonstrating adherence to each airworthiness code.
Design Assurance Under ISO 9001
Every design change is governed by AMCE's certified quality management system:
- Independent Design Checking: Calculations and drawings are checked by a second qualified engineer before release.
- Configuration Control: Version-controlled design data with full revision traceability.
- Regulator Interface: Structured engagement with DASA and Systems Program Offices throughout certification.
Compliance Verification Engineering (CVE)
Our senior engineers function as dedicated Compliance Verification Engineers:
- Independent Finding of Compliance: Thorough technical cross-check ensuring design calculations satisfy regulatory criteria.
- Chartered Delegation: Led by Chartered Professional Engineers (CPEng) registered on the National Engineering Register (NER).
- Flight Test Verification: Formulating Flight Test Orders (FTO) and managing risk assessments for ground and flight trials.
Civil Aviation Frameworks (CASR Part 21 & FARs)
Complementing our military fluency, AMCE maintains deep competence across civil aviation regulations:
- CASR Part 21: Engineering support for civil modifications, Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs), and repair schemes.
- FAA FAR Part 25: Transport category aircraft structural criteria, cabin crashworthiness, and interior flammability (FAR 25.853).
- Harmonized Dual Standards: Enabling smooth transition of civil technologies into military operational fleets.
