Which statement is true about the Airworthiness Certificate?

• A. It certifies the airworthiness of the aircraft
• B. It certifies the pilot's ability
• C. It certifies the aircraft's navigation equipment
• D. It certifies that maintenance is complete

Answer: (A)

The airworthiness certificate is proof that the aircraft meets its approved design and is in a condition for safe operation. It’s issued by the FAA after inspection shows compliance with the applicable airworthiness standards, confirming the aircraft is airworthy. It does not attest to the pilot’s ability, nor does it certify the aircraft’s navigation equipment, and it does not indicate that maintenance is complete. The certificate remains valid as long as the aircraft continues to meet the required standards and remains in a condition for safe operation.
