USAF Airworthiness Certification Library
Dayton Aerospace military airworthiness experts remain on the leading edge of airworthiness certification processes and procedures. As the field of airworthiness has evolved, so has the guidance and information used in military certifications beyond MIL-HDBK-516, Airworthiness Certification Criteria. Many of the source documents are available for public release—but a .mil account is required to access the US Air Force (USAF) library.
The table below is a complete repository of all current, publicly releasable USAF and Department of Defense (DOD) airworthiness source documentation.
