Modern Trends in Civil Airworthiness Requirements

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Extract

Some liberties have been taken with the contents of the lecture in relation to the title. Firstly, it is proposed to examine safety in general, for only by this means can airworthiness be seen in its true perspective. Secondly, some trends in airworthiness and inter-related operational matters will be discussed. Finally, crashworthiness is dealt with at some length.
