Explain airworthiness.
Explanation should include the following:
- When the aircraft is complete (i.e., with airframe, engine, and propeller), it is inspected, and the FAA issues an airworthiness certificate for the aircraft.
- Having an airworthiness certificate means the complete aircraft meets the design and manufacturing standards and is in a condition for safe flight. The certificate must be carried in the aircraft during all flight operations and remains valid as long as the required maintenance and inspections are kept up to date for the aircraft.
