“How do you determine if your aircraft is airworthy right now? Walk me through the required inspections.”
⚠ Common Pitfall: Use a real airworthiness checklist — there are too many details to hold in your head. Not captured in AV1ATE: all ADs must be complied with, and life-limited parts must be current (e.g., a Cirrus parachute). A classic trap is an aircraft current on its annual and 100-hour, but with an expired AD — making it unairworthy. An STC is an amendment to the type certificate and carries its own airworthiness requirements.
All 37 questions, ranked by frequency, with Examiner Insights and Common Pitfalls from 113 real checkrides — written and reviewed by Andrew Gray, CFI-II.
