The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has published&nbsp;"The Airworthiness Code: A Maintenance Guide for Light Aircraft," which is aimed at providing owners of general aviation aircraft, including turboprops and light jets under 12,500 pounds, a better understanding of airworthiness regulations and how to apply it to their airplanes.

 


Topics addressed by the&nbsp;<a href="https://prod.uploads.slack.files.api.cncms.aero/F0469T8J484/CAP2400S Airworthiness Code_interactive.pdf">guide</a>&nbsp;include the airworthiness system, airworthiness responsibilities of the owner-operator, the Part-ML maintenance program, and practical continuing airworthiness.

 


“Communication is one of the key pillars of our relationship with the general aviation community,” writes UK CAA group director of safety and airspace Rob Bishton. “With around 18,000 general aviation&nbsp;aircraft and 30,000 pilots, it is important that key messages around safety and risk management are clear and concise. Feedback from the community indicated that in the realm of&nbsp;maintenance and continuing airworthiness management, there has sometimes been room for improvement.”

News about bills, laws, regulations and other governmental decisions affecting aviation and aerospace. Topics include FAA re-authorizations, taxes on fuel and aviation activities, environmental legislation, ICAO decisions, governmental mediation of labor conflicts and World Trade Organization disputes and decisions.
