Title:
Airworthiness and Encouraging Compliance with Airworthiness Directives
Topic:
Airworthiness as it applies to the FAA, NTSB, Pilots, Mechanics, Owners, and the sellers of aircraft
Speaker(s):
Peter Friedman
Brief Description:
The FAA and NTSB define "airworthiness" differently. This difference is critical in cases involving pilots and mechanics. The word is not even defined in FAR Part 1 because of the differences. The FAA and NTSB say the definition is "situational". FAR 91.7 requires pilots to assure the aircraft they intend to operate is "airworthy". FAR Part 43.15 requires mechanics to assure that "all airworthiness requirements have been met" when inspecting aircraft. Why are they treated different? Attend this seminar and find out.
