Continuing Airworthiness
• Continuing Airworthiness is understood as the group of activities
performed to ensure that initial airworthiness of the individual a/c
is maintained, according to the procedures established and
protected by the Type Certificate.
• Any modification made to an a/c, engine or propeller, or to its
design data, must be defined in an authorised Service Bulletin,
Airworthiness Directive or Technical Order, before being sent to
the user. The official Regulation provides the corresponding
criteria to cover this kind of activities.

Considerations for implementation of EMARs
1.- Legal and Regulatory Impact: Assessment of Defense Airworthiness
Regulations and Enforcement Policy at the Ministry of Defense. Possible
amendment of Royal Decree, Ministerial Orders and Specific Publications.
2.- Organizations: Analysis of existing structures in the DGAM and the affected
organizations to suit the requirements of the new EMAR rules and control of their
implementation at all levels.
3.- Communication: Implementing strategies of promotion and communication
within and outside the Ministry of Defense to help organizations that must be
adapted to these rules, and overcome the inertia against changes.
4.- Human and Material Resources: Availability and Experience/Training of the
personnel concerned and/or necessary, in DGAM and the affected organizations,
and definition of roles and responsibilities. Analysis of associated costs and
sources of financing in collaboration with industry.
5.- Authorities Recognition: Implementation of a recognition process of
certificates issued by other authorities (civil and military).
