What exactly is the procedure for obtaining airworthyness for a classic aircraft? Is it an exercise in paperwork initially or one of continual goalpost realignment ? I appreciate the structural and mechanical integrity are taken as read ,however are these various criteria carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible or interspersed with reams of legislative papers.

Getting a Certificate of Airworthiness or a Permit to Fly is only the first stage. Thereafter, what is known as Continuing Airworthiness comes into play, which brings in not just the necessary maintenance, etc., but also requires safety management of flight operations via such criteria as risk assessment.

Assuming you mean within the U.K., if so the criteria is laid down in CAP562 Leaflets C-120 and C-140 – in short to obtain a U.K. PtF the owner/operator would need to satisfy all the points in those two leaflets.
