Overview

An aircraft’s Certificate of Airworthiness and an 8130-3 Airworthiness Certificate are different things, but both have one thing in common … Airworthiness.

With respect to Certificates of Airworthiness: what type of Certificates of Airworthiness are there? What is the purpose of each? When are they used? And when it comes to 8130-3s: there is a tremendous amount of information and specialized areas of training for FAA Form 8130-3 Airworthiness Tags (including FAA Order 8130.21H); but, the aviation community continues to misunderstand and misclassify these very important documents.

It’s imperative that the aviation maintenance professional has a good understanding of what both of these type of documents are used for and why.
