Just this once

While I would agree with you in theory in practice the military gold plate the EASA airworthiness system, then employ another part of the military to gold plate the bits it has already gold plated until it can’t see the original objective for all the gold plate. The whole system is process driven with the objective of defining issues in books and manuals that can’t be for practical purposes be defined.

Those working in the pure civil sector are product driven and much less obsessed by the process and aim their attention to the quality of the product and the practical flight safety.

To put it more simply counting the paint brushes in the stores does not make an aircraft safe, making sure that one of these paint brushes is not in a control run when the aircraft leave the hangar does........... the civil side of aviation focuses on the later while the military focus on the former.
