4.4.5 Airworthiness Directives
4.4.5.1 General
4.4.5.1.1 A primary safety function of the airworthiness organization within the CAA is to require correction of unsafe conditions found in an aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, equipment or instrument or when such conditions develop in other products of the same design. The unsafe conditions may be due to design deficiencies, manufacturing defects, maintenance programme deficiencies, or other causes. Airworthiness Directives (ADs) usually are the means used to notify aircraft owners and other interested persons of unsafe conditions and to prescribe the conditions under which the product may continue to be operated.
