Transcript of Center for Military Airworthiness and Certification [CEMILAC]
Airworthiness and safety have been major issues of concern in aviation. Failure consequences
coupled with exacting operational needs and stringent environmental conditions demand strict control over all facets of design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of aircraft. The minimum acceptable levels of safety and reliability necessitate an independent regulatory assurance system which anticipates potential failures, assess deviations in design and manufacture, simulates operational demands, evaluates and certifies designs to ensure airworthiness.
The Regulatory System took shape in 1958 when the Resident Technical Office (Aircraft) was set up at Bangalore. CEMILAC was established in 1995 to coordinate and consolidate certification activities. In a span of twelve years CEMILAC has established its credentials in Airworthiness Certification of Military Airborne stores. The CEMILAC corporate office, located in Bangalore has 14 Regional Centres (RCMAs) spread all over the country, each with an unique core competence.

- The Strength
- The Experience
CEMILAC carries out the design evaluation and airworthiness certification in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Defence document “Design, Development and
Production of Military Aircraft and Airborne Systems – 2002” (DDPMAS - 2002). This Document is periodically revised.
CEMILAC undertakes life evaluation of aircraft,
helicopter, engines and accessories to fully exploit the life potential of its operational aircraft with the Military. As a result of these exercises, the life of many front line combat aircraft, helicopters, jets and turbo-prop engines, rotables and parachutes have been extended. This activity
has resulted in exploitation of the design life thus saving of vast sums in FE.
Mid-life upgrades today are a necessity to fully realize the potential of an aircraft and helicopter. Such upgrades include weapon system, EW system, Avionic Systems etc. CEMILAC has certified the airworthiness of these upgrades on indigenously designed, licence produced as well as bought out aircraft/helicopters enhancing the operational effectiveness of these aircraft and helicopters.

CEMILAC is mandated to approve products developed by DRDO, Public Sector and Private companies in India and abroad for Indian Military Aircraft.
Has acted as catalyst for indigenising several airborne equipment and items including cables,
GPS, batteries and aircraft fuels worth several millions of Rupees.
Accorded 1079 Type Approvals to items used on different aircraft, helicopters and engines after conducting rigorous and thorough evaluation, thus contributing towards operational readiness of the fleet.
