De la contraportada

Understanding airworthiness is central to maintaining and operating aircraft safely. While no book can replace the published FAR/JAR documentation for airworthiness, this unique guide provides readers with a single reference to understanding and interpreting the airworthiness requirements of the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation), FAA (the US Federal Aviation Authority) and EASA (European Aircraft Safety Agency). Setting these requirements in a real-world context, the book is an essential contribution to the safety management system of anyone involved in the design, maintenance and operation of aircraft for business or pleasure.

Key topics covered include:
Considerations of airworthiness standards for all classes, including large and small aircraft, rotor craft, gliders and unmanned aircraft
JAR/FAR 21
Type certification of aircraft, engines, and propellers and the type certification process
Parts and appliances approval
Joint certifications and national certifications
Special classes of certificates of airworthiness
Airworthiness and flight operations

Valuable for manufacturers, parts suppliers, engineers, maintenance personnel, students, pilots, aircraft operators and owners, all of whom must have a degree of understanding of the requirements and context of airworthiness certification.|Understanding airworthiness is central to maintaining and operating aircraft safely.
