What happens if an aircraft is not airworthy?

If an aircraft is not airworthy, it means it does not meet the required safety standards and regulations set by aviation authorities. This can result in grounding the aircraft until necessary repairs or maintenance are completed. Operating a non-airworthy aircraft poses significant risks to the safety of passengers and crew, and can lead to legal consequences for the operators or owners. Ultimately, ensuring airworthiness is crucial for safe flight operations.
