Which document must accompany the new logbook as part of airworthiness readiness?

• A. Flight Plan
• B. Airworthiness Release
• C. Maintenance Log
• D. Crew Manifest

Answer: (B)

Airworthiness readiness hinges on a formal release that confirms the aircraft is approved to fly after maintenance. The Airworthiness Release is the document that accompanies a new logbook because it certifies that all required inspections and maintenance have been completed and that the aircraft meets applicable airworthiness standards. This release provides authorized endorsement for flight and links to the maintenance history recorded in the logbook, ensuring traceability and regulatory compliance. A flight plan is about routing and timing for a specific flight, not certifying airworthiness; the maintenance log belongs in the aircraft’s records but a new logbook needs the release to establish that the aircraft is permitted to operate; a crew manifest concerns crew eligibility and scheduling, not the airworthiness status.
