What must be ensured before a Certificate of Airworthiness can be issued?

For a Certificate of Airworthiness to be issued, it is essential that the aircraft has undergone comprehensive testing and is deemed safe for operation. This certification is a legal acknowledgment from the aviation authority that the aircraft meets all necessary safety and regulatory standards, and is in a condition for safe flight.

Although factors such as the quality of parts and manufacturing processes, training for staff, and compliance with color specifications may contribute to the overall safety and regulatory compliance of the aircraft, they are not the primary determinants for the issuance of the Certificate. The focus of the certificate is squarely on the operational safety and readiness of the aircraft itself, which is validated through rigorous testing. This ensures that the aircraft is mechanically sound and ready for its intended use in aviation.
