Chapter 2
Airworthiness of Aircraft (Annex - 8)
AIR LAW & ATC PROCEDURES
2
A Certificate of Airworthiness (C of A) is issued
initially by the Contracting state (of manufacture,
for example),
For the C of A to be issued there must be
approved designs, specifications, reports and
documentary evidence to show that the aircraft
complies with airworthiness requirements,
While under construction or when the C of A
needs to be renewed, the aircraft will be inspected
by a State-approved inspection system,
Flight tests will be conducted as required by
the inspectors.

Certificate of Airworthiness
When aircraft are moved from one State’s
register to another.
When an aircraft, possessing a valid C
of A issued by one Contracting State is
moved to another Contracting State, and
is entered onto the register of the new
contracting state, the new Contracting
State may regard the C of A originally
issued as evidence of airworthiness, and
therefore not require the tests as laid out
in the previous slide.

Continuing a Certificate of Airworthiness
The continuing airworthiness of
an aircraft shall be determined by
the State of Registry in relation to
the appropriate airworthiness
requirements of the aircraft,
The State of Registry shall
develop or adopt requirements to
ensure the continued airworthiness
of the aircraft during its service life.

Registry, provided that State conducts
periodical inspections at appropriate
time intervals.

Withholding a Certificate of Airworthiness
Contracting States shall take
whatever steps are necessary to
with hold the Certificate of
Airworthiness if the aircraft is
either known or suspected to
have dangerous features.
“Better that an airline
cancels a flight rather than call
the relatives of those killed
following an air-disaster!”

Temporary Loss of Airworthiness
When an aircraft has sustained damage, the State of Registry shall judge
whether the aircraft is no longer airworthy.
However, should damage occur in another Contracting State, then that
State is entitled to prevent the aircraft from resuming its flight, on condition
that they shall advise the State of Registry immediately, so that the State of
Registry may decide whether the aircraft is or is not airworthy.
When the aircraft is deemed as not being airworthy, the State of Registry
may allow the aircraft to be flown to another aerodrome where repairs may
be affected.
No fare-paying passengers are allowed under these circumstances.

Summing-up
The C of A is issued for the safety
of crew and passengers,
Without a C of A, under normal
circumstances, an aircraft may not fly,
Under no circumstances can an
aircraft, without a C of A, fly with fare-
paying passengers,
The State of Registry is the key
holder to the Certificate of
Airworthiness.
