Which documents must accompany the aircraft during flight to verify airworthiness and registration?

• A. Operating limitations and Registration Certificate
• B. Pilot's license and medical certificate
• C. Insurance policy and flight plan
• D. Radio license and navigation charts

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that certain documents prove the aircraft itself is allowed to fly and is properly registered. The documents that must accompany the airplane during flight are the operating limitations and the registration certificate. The operating limitations come with the aircraft’s airworthiness package and specify what can be done with the airplane, conditions for its use, and other important restrictions. The registration certificate confirms the aircraft’s identity and that it is registered in the appropriate jurisdiction. Together, they provide proof that the aircraft is authorized to operate and that its registration is current.

Pilot licenses and medical certificates are the pilot’s proof of qualification, not evidence of the aircraft’s airworthiness or registration. Insurance policies and flight plans aren’t the required onboard proof of airworthiness or registration, and a radio license and navigation charts, while sometimes needed for operations, do not verify airworthiness or registration.
