Analysis of the concept «Airworthiness» as one of the key factors in ensuring flight safety

Abstract

The airworthiness of an aircraft is a fundamental concept that ensures the safety of civil aviation flights. It is defined and regulated through a series of international and national documents. The term «airworthiness» is widely used but is interpreted differently across the global civil aviation sector. Analyzing the definition of the term «airworthiness» within various international and national frameworks not only reveals the existing diversity of interpretations but also emphasizes the need for its standardization, which is an important task for ensuring accuracy in its application in educational materials and scientific publications. The analysis of existing definitions and the context of their use was conducted using content analysis methodology, employing tools such as the artificial intelligence ChatGPT, which helps simplify the routine tasks of identifying key characteristics and properties of concepts within a large volume of definitional interpretations. Precision and clarity in terminology are critically important for enhancing safety levels.
