TEXT

Law 48/1960 of 21 July on Air Navigation sets out in Article 36 the requirement that all aircraft be fitted with an airworthiness certificate.

This article establishes the competence of the Ministry of Public Works for the issue of this certificate to civil aircraft, so it must be understood, that this competence has the Ministry of Defense for the aircraft that are considered to be military or belong to the Armies, institutes, agencies or services that are dependent on or linked to the Ministry of Defense.

With the publication of Royal Decree 2218/2004 of 26 November, approving the Regulations on Air Navigation of Defense, the mandate of the Law 48/1960, of July 21, was fulfilled. by regulatory means the requirements and tests necessary for the issue and renewal of the certificates relating to the airworthiness of the aircraft, as well as their period of validity.

The experience gained since the entry into force of Royal Decree 2218/2004 of 26 November, the appearance of the air systems piloted by remote control in the fleets of the Armies and the importance they have in the Spain's major international aviation programmes with the participation of Spain, make it necessary to deal with the approval of a new Defence Aircraft Regulation to adapt it to current circumstances.

In addition, it is necessary to include in the scope of the regulation to the Civil Guard, since this armed institute uses aircraft that have the consideration of military aircraft, in accordance with Article 14.1 of the Law 48/1960 of 21 July.

In the process of processing, in order to comply with the provisions of article 24.1.c) of Law 50/1997, of 27 November, of the Government, and to evacuate the process of hearing to the citizens or associations or bodies that represent them, this royal decree has been submitted to consultation of professional associations and business associations whose purposes are directly related to the object of the provision.

The objective of this royal decree is to establish the process by which an aircraft obtains the certificate of airworthiness, for which it is established as a prerequisite that the design of the aircraft has one of Type Certificates that are described in the same.

The application for the issuance of any Type Certificate, as well as the requirements to be met and the documentation to be delivered, are defined in Chapters III, IV, V, VI and VII of this royal decree.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Defense, with the prior approval of the Minister of Finance and Public Administrations, according to the State Council and after deliberation by the Council of Ministers at its meeting of the October 2, 2015,

DISPONGO:

Single item. Adoption of the Regulation.
