airworthiness

Airworthiness refers to the condition of an aircraft being safe to fly. It means that the aircraft meets required safety standards and is properly maintained, ensuring it can perform its intended functions without risking the safety of passengers and crew. Various factors contribute to airworthiness, including the aircraft's design, materials, maintenance practices, and inspections. Regulators, such as aviation authorities, set guidelines to ensure all aircraft are airworthy before they take to the skies, aimed at minimizing accidents and ensuring the overall safety of air travel.
