Ensuring continued AW:
EASA/CQC cooperation
Principles : A400M Programme Committee committed to maintain
CQC and agreed on support from EASA to maintain the TCs
Key enablers:
1. Agreed “Occurrence Identification and Reporting Procedure (OIRP)”
2. Extensive re-use of civil TC-holders process
3.Continuous EASA / CQC collaboration
4. Security aspects / military specificities properly addressed

Security aspects
Objective is to deliver only information needed for CAW
Standard situation: information managed is not classified
Military occurrences are managed by CQC: EASA is informed without sensitive information disclosure
In case of in-service event during a classified mission, relevant information
will be given to Manufacturer and AA on a need-to-know basis
Practical case :

Conclusions
Type Certification is progressing quickly To offer new capabilities / more versatility to Operational Crews
As design is ambitious, CAW is a key process: To early reinforce design robustness
With limited impact on fleet availability
To convince industry, 1 CQC acting on behalf of 6 NMAA in
close collaboration with EASA is a good asset
Continuing AW is being developed: It was not foreseen prior to 2012
EMAR implementation and Mutuel Recognition between NMAAs
(continued/Continuing AW) are decisive…
… so is pursuance & reinforcement of EASA support
