Abstract

This book is aimed at advanced students and professionals, who are expected to have to make decisions regarding the fitness for service of new aviation products, whether whole aircraft or subsystems. This chapter compares initial and continued airworthiness and what goes into determining airworthiness, focusing primarily on civilian aeroplanes, with a brief foray into military codes and specifications. The ICAO process and main civilian design codes (both ICAO and sub-ICAO) for aeroplanes are described, with how to decide which applies to what aircraft. The differences between the civil and military initial airworthiness approaches are briefly described.

Footnotes
1
Contained in the huge and very useful Airworthiness Circular AC43.13 “Acceptable methods, techniques and practices—aircraft inspection and repair” which is used worldwide as a guide to best technical practices in continued airworthiness.
 
2
Airworthiness Certificate in a few countries.

E-conditions procedures are contained in UK CAA Publication CAP1220 “Operation of experimental aircraft under E conditions”. The definition of a “competent person” normally means a Chartered Engineer who is a Member or Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Whilst it’s understood that not all Chartered Aeronautical Engineers are flight test specialists, their code of conduct requires that they will always work to their personal limitations and enlist specialist support where required—in the same way that a physician would, if presented with a medical condition outside of their personal specialisms.
