FAA Inspection Authorization Practice Test

A standard airworthiness certificate certifies that an aircraft is airworthy in one of the main categories used for certification, such as Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, or Transport. It does not carry or include authorization for any special, one-time, or test flight permissions. Those special permissions come from a separate document called a Special Flight Permit, not from the standard certificate itself. So, stating that a standard airworthiness certificate includes Special Flight Permits isn’t correct, making that option the right choice. The other options describe characteristics that can be associated with a standard certificate: the typical categories Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, and Transport.
