EMAR 21 is written once by the European Defence Agency and adopted by each nation with its own differences. Build the evidence once and produce the pack each authority expects
What this regime costs you today
Common text, national transposition. The differences are where the work is, and where the surprises come from.
Every nation transposes it differently
The regulation is common. What your customer actually enforces is national, and it is not in the regulation.
The code is agreed, not published
EMAR 21 names no airworthiness code. Each programme agrees one with its Authority, and it becomes the basis.
A second customer is a second pack
The same aircraft, assembled again for another authority, by people reading the first pack backwards.
The differences are the risk
What one nation accepted and another did not is exactly what gets found late.
Whatever you fly, it has to be proven
One regulation across the European fleet, and everything it carries
Combat air
Lead in trainer
Transport
Tanker
Maritime patrol
Transport helicopter
Naval helicopter
Uncrewed air system
Target drone
Stores and pylons
What changes when the evidence derives itself
Holding the evidence
todayone copy per customer, drifting apart
herethe design truth held once, whatever the customer nation calls the document
Composing a pack
todaythe first pack re-read backwards for the second authority
herecomposed for the nation asking, with what it does not want set aside and the reason kept
Recording the agreed code
todayremembered by the people who were in the meeting
herewhat your Authority accepted as the basis, recorded against the programme
Finding the differences
todayfound in review, by the other nation
herea national reading kept as a difference you can point at, never levelled into the common text
What we stand on, and what we will never do

No held specification, by design. EMAR 21 names no airworthiness code: the basis is the code the Authority agrees for the programme, and the record captures what was agreed.

set aside here, with the reason
noCertificate of DesignRA 5103 is the UK MAA's regulation; EMAR 21 names no certificate of design, the declaration of compliance under 21.A.20 stands in its place, so an EDA programme submits none.
noType Airworthiness Safety Assessment ReportRA 5012 is the UK MAA's regulation; EMAR 21 names no type airworthiness safety assessment report, so an EDA programme submits none.
noCyber Security for Airworthiness Assessment RecordRA 5890 is the UK MAA's regulation; EMAR 21 carries no cyber security clause, so an EDA programme submits no cyber security for airworthiness assessment.
