Knowledge base from MIL-HDBK-516D, 29 May 2026, Airworthiness Certification Criteria. Use for design AW criteria and MoCs across systems engineering, structures, flight technology, propulsion, air vehicle subsystems, crew systems and aerial refueling, avionics electrical and E3, computer systems and software, maintenance, armaments and stores, materials, and aerial delivery. Guidance handbook only. Not a service AW authority, not civil FAA or EASA rules, not detailed performance specs.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

**Source:** US Government work, public domain (17 U.S.C. 105); Distribution A; no printed DOPSR case. See `LICENSE`. Pin: MIL-HDBK-516D, 29 May 2026. Chapters: 12.

## When to use

Use when building or reviewing a DoD air system design airworthiness certification basis from MIL-HDBK-516D: tailoring criteria, assigning MoCs, and navigating domain sections including clusters D stands up alone (air vehicle subsystems, aerial refueling, electrical, maintenance, armaments and stores, materials, aerial delivery).

**Prerequisites:** none. Plain Markdown. No MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime.

## How to Use This Skill

- **Without arguments**  -  load the core frameworks below.
- **With a topic**  -  ask a topic question (for example tailoring, structures MoCs, AR compatibility, CS&S multicore).
- **With a certification-planning question**  -  ask how to shape a basis, reopeners after modification, or evidence owners by domain.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs/mil-hdbk-516@sha256:45840953b38768c5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.e0efbeb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
