With effect from 1 April 2010, the Secretary of State for Defence (SofS) established by Charter the Military Aviation Authority (MAA) as the single independent regulatory body for all Defence aviation activity. As the 'Regulator', Director General MAA (DG MAA) is accountable to SofS, through the 2nd Permanent Under Secretary of State (2nd PUS), for providing a regulatory framework, given effect by a certification, approvals and inspection process for the acquisition, operation and airworthiness of air systems within the Defence aviation environment. DG MAA is responsible for providing assurance to SofS that the appropriate standards of military Air Safety are maintained and is the Convening Authority for Service Inquiries into aircraft occurrences.
Regulatory Framework. DG MAA is the owner of the MAA Regulatory Publications (MRP) and has the authority to issue them on behalf of the SofS. There are 3 MRP documentation levels:
Overarching documents:
MAA01: MAA Regulatory Policy.
MAA02: MAA Master Glossary.
Regulatory Articles (RA):
1000 Series: General Regulations (GEN).
2000 Series: Flying Regulations (FLY).
3000 Series: Air Traffic Management Regulations (ATM).

MAA01 is the capstone for the MRP and provides DG MAA's overarching policy on the regulation of military aviation activity. It provides the linkage between the MAA Charter and the underpinning regulation, guidance material and supporting manuals delivered through the MRP. It also provides the regulatory principles and relevant points of contacts for matters arising out of the MRP.
