By the way, I checked with one of the top A&P's with IA certification. No where in the Reg's does it require the IA to review the Airworthiness Certificate nor the Aircraft Registration nor the Radio License (for us old guys and those traveling to foreign countries). Therefore, that is why the sign-off for the aircraft at Annual/100 Hour Inspection is "an airworthy condition". It is up to the pilot/owner to determine that the aircraft is "Airworthy" (ARROW). No recourse on the IA's who have signed-off on the inspections since the Airworthiness Certificate was revoked. Mike.
