Malaysian State Airworthiness Authority adopted the Malaysian State Technical Airworthiness Regulation, known as MSTAR, based on the EMAR and DASR requirements as well as the EASA best practices.
The formulation of MSTAM is described in the Malaysian State Technical Airworthiness Manual (MSTAM), which comprises a state airworthiness policy that addresses general requirements for its regulated community and the applicable regulations, which are described in the specific part and chapter in this manual. The MSTAR governs its regulated community of State Aircraft Operators (SAO) and all organisation approval holders within the technical airworthiness management activities in the manner of its design, construction and maintenance to assure flight safety is achieved.
The transition from the legacy airworthiness management framework of the Technical Airworthiness Management Manual (TAMM) to MSTAR enables the authorities and all of the National Military Airworthiness Authority (NMAA) community to effectively communicate using global airworthiness language and convention, enabling the local industry to grow in the airworthiness environment that is aligned with the international airworthiness practices. The primary objective of implementing MSTAR emphasises the outcome of the airworthiness activities, which is to ensure Flight Safety is achieved As Far As Reasonably Practicable (AFARP).
For the operational airworthiness aspect, understanding the state operation, mission, and roles of the respective SAO varies and is unique for each Armed Forces Service and other state enforcement agencies. The responsibility for the operational airworthiness aspect remains under the commander of the forces, services, and agencies, allowing flexibility to each commander to exercise its mandated rules and responsibilities.
Overall, this publication provides an overview of technical airworthiness concepts and regulations about the management of design, production, maintenance, training, personnel licensing, and continuing airworthiness management. Lastly, the guidance materials for the regulatory clauses are also provided for effective compliance.
MSTAR regulations are to be strictly adhered to by all SAOs and defence contractors to ensure that the state aviation capability remains airworthy, credible, efficient, and effective.
