Airworthiness Certificate is a certificate issued by the FAA to all aircraft that have been proven to meet the minimum standards set down by the CFR.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for experimental aircraft
• D. Only for large passenger aircraft

Answer: (A)

An Airworthiness Certificate is FAA recognition that an aircraft conforms to its approved type design and is in a condition for safe operation, as required by the applicable CFR. The FAA issues this certificate to any eligible aircraft that meets those minimum standards, covering all categories that apply to the aircraft (including standard, utility, acrobatic, and experimental). It isn’t limited to experimental or to large passenger aircraft; both types require this certification to fly legally in U.S. airspace, and the certificate remains valid as long as the aircraft is maintained in an airworthy condition.
