0 An airworthy aircraft is one that is in safe working condition and safe to fly.
1 used to describe an aircraft that is safe to fly:
The regulators refused to certify the planes as airworthy.
Those aircraft may not be the most modern, but that has absolutely nothing to do with whether they are safe and airworthy aircraft.
Is anything being done to make the large flying boats more airworthy?
It is a crying shame that these thoroughly airworthy aircraft should be kept out of service so that private companies may have a clear field.
Secondly, has the aircraft been certified as airworthy by the aeronautical authority of the country of registration?
The inspections are aimed at ensuring that those aircraft are airworthy.
The ground staff worked tirelessly to keep the aircraft airworthy.
These were actually the machines which had won against all the world, and had shown themselves most airworthy, most stable, and best constructed.
