Could someone please explain why the military need a separate certificate for the engine?
Doesn't it have to do with A400M being allowed to operate civil airways above busy Europe in the future? I believe that's also behind the M.7 cruising speed.

The civil certification of the TP was the reaso for months of delay. Some folks neglected the paperwork and lots had to be done all over.
