Purpose. To establish policy and responsibilities for executing airworthiness and Cybersecurity Safety (CYBERSAFE) reviews resulting in Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) flight clearances and/or CYBERSAFE certifications for all Department of the Navy (DON) Public Aircraft Operations (PAOs) , per Title 10 U.S.C., § 5013 and references (a) through (f) .

the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition designated aviation acquisition programs being developed or acquired for DON use, and to fleet units that own, operate, or manage DON air vehicles and aircraft systems;

b. Manned and unmanned air vehicles and aircraft systems in standard and non-standard configurations, including hardware, firmware, software, flight envelopes, and operation. Examples include, but are not limited to; stores and store suspension equipment, Aviation Life Support Systems utilization, and airborne and surface based components for unmanned air systems

(UAS) ;

C. Developmental Testing (DT), Operational Testing (OT), Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) , and fleet operations. This instruction does not supersede or take precedence over the process for formal certification of readiness for DT, OT, or recertification for FOT&E required by applicable acquisition directives.

4. Authority

a. The Commander, NAVAIR (AIR-GO), is the DON Airworthiness Authority via the following statutory and regulatory authorities:

• Title 49 U.S.C., Section () 40103;

• Title 10 U.S.C., § 5013;

• SECNAVINST 5400.15C; and,

• References (b) and (c)

Per references (b) and (c) , this instruction directly delegates day-to-day execution of airworthiness authority to the DON Airworthiness and CYBERSAFE Directorate, (AIR-4.OP) . AIR-4.OP is the single delegated authority for the issuance of interim and permanent flight clearances for all DON air vehicles and aircraft systems, and provides direction and tasking to NAVAIR competencies to execute the airworthiness process on behalf of AIR-00.

SECNAVINST 5400.15C establishes AIR-GO as the Technical Authority for Naval aviation systems and, per Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 209.270-2, the Design Control Activity, specifically responsible for ensuring the airworthiness of Naval aviation systems or equipment.

NAVAIRINST 13034.1F

b. Per reference (g), CYBERSAFE technical authority for all

DON aviation systems is assigned to the Assistant Commander for Research and Engineering (AIR-4.0) . Additionally, per reference (h), AIR-4.02 is designated as CYBERSAFE Program Director and is delegated process execution responsibilities for NAVAIR CYBERSAFE certifications which are defined in the cyber-related portions of reference (d), applicable task-specific AIR-4.OP and competency Standard Work Packages (SWPs) , Standard Skills Packages (SSPs), and other operating guides.

5. Background. Background details for the Airworthiness and CYBERSAFE programs are provided in reference (d)

6. Policy

Per reference (b), all DON aircraft and all aircraft conducting DON PAOs (including contracted air services and non-program of record activities) must have an airworthiness approval in the form of a flight clearance issued by COMNAVAIRSYSCOM. As aircraft systems develop and mature, they undergo configuration changes and/or expansion of the operational flight envelope. At each step, from first flight through retirement of the platform, airworthiness must be assured and certified by a NAVAIR flight clearance. NAVAIR flight clearances are issued in the form of interim or permanent clearances and are products resulting from a DON airworthiness assessment, as required by reference (a)

The detailed policy and procedures for executing airworthiness and CYBERSAFE technical assessments resulting in NAVAIR flight clearances and/or CYBERSAFE certifications for all DON PAO must be in conjunction with this instruction, references

(d) through (f), and task-specific AIR-4.OP and competency SWPs and SSPs.
