Peter is correct is stating that it can be a daunting task to
determine your aircraft's airworthiness by examining the regulations. There is
an advisory circular on the subject and many FSDO's give talks on the subject at
their WINGS programs. I have found the WINGS seminars given by the FAA aviation
safety program managers useful in this area.
