This work contextualizes the certification and its importance in the international scenario for military aeronautical products. It presents a brief summary of the Military Airworthiness Certification process in Brazil for aircraft that do not have a Type Certificate, which is applied to projects under development. For this, the work: reviews and analyzes the Brazilian context; identifies the Special Initial Flight Permit process of the Brazilian military aeronautical industry; and exemplifies its application in the (Entry Into Service) KC-390 airworthiness certification process. At the end of the work, it was possible to understand the processes used and their patterns. In addition, the practices adopted can serve as benchmarking for applications in other contexts.
