UK CAA Oversight of Military Registered Aircraft (COMRA)

TR119 | 2 days

The UK MAA adopts Continuing Airworthiness Management requirements based on the EASA and UK CAA civil regulation, and as both civil and military requirements continue to develop, new philosophies, roles, and responsibilities will change the way in-service aircraft airworthiness is managed. The CAA has agreed to support the MOD in providing oversight of civil-type military aircraft. This support is covered under the joint CAA/MAA policy and principles for CAA Oversight of Military Registered Aircraft.

This course will introduce and examine the MAA regulation (RA1165) and its relationship with the Civil CAP 562 (Leaflet B-40). It focuses on enabling delegates to develop an understanding of the interface and intent of the regulation with a view to achieving greater effectiveness.
