Standard Airworthiness Certificate
Encyclopedia : S : ST : STA : Standard Airworthiness Certificate
A standard airworthiness certificate is the FAA's official authorization allowing for the operation of type certificated aircraft in the following categories:
- Normal
- Utility
- Acrobatic
- Commuter
- Transport
- Manned free balloons
- Special classes
A standard airworthiness certificate remains valid as long as the aircraft meets its approved type design, is in a condition for safe operation and maintenance, and preventive maintenance and alterations are performed in accordance with 14 CFR parts 21, 43, and 91.
An existing standard airworthiness certificate remains with the aircraft with changes of ownership. A new owner must first register the aircraft, the aircraft must conform to its approved type design, and be in a condition for safe operation.
