Which steps are used to determine the airworthiness of the aircraft?

• A. Verify aircraft In Service in Flight View (IS), Review all DMIs, Ensure MELs/CDLs are accurately documented, Review the maintenance log.
• B. Review the maintenance log only.
• C. Verify IS in Flight View and weather.
• D. Review DMIs and MELs only.

Answer: (A)

Airworthiness comes from confirming the aircraft is operating within its approved limits and that no unresolved issues could affect safety. To determine airworthiness, first verify the aircraft’s status in the In Service in Flight View to ensure it is current and free of outstanding items. Next, review all discrepancy maintenance information so you’re aware of any reported faults and whether they have been resolved, deferred, or require corrective action. Then ensure that the Minimum Equipment List and Configuration Deviation List are accurately documented, so you know exactly which equipment must be operative for flight and under what conditions. Finally, examine the maintenance log to confirm all required actions, inspections, and sign-offs are complete and properly recorded. Together, these steps provide a complete picture of the aircraft’s readiness by linking real-time status, known issues, equipment limitations, and documented maintenance. Weather or other external factors do not determine airworthiness by themselves.
