This study explores the concept of digital airworthiness certification as a next-generation approach suited for future air systems and proposes strategies for its domestic implementation. While traditional certification systems possess strengths in legal stability and alignment with international standards, they face limitations in addressing the increasing complexity and software-centric architecture of advanced air platforms. This paper outlines the framework of digital certification focusing on key elements such as digital twin technology, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), automated verification, and lifecycle data integration. Case studies from major agencies including the FAA and EASA are analyzed. By diagnosing the technical and institutional limitations of Korea’s current airworthiness system and proposing procedural models and regulatory improvements, this study aims to establish a foundation for adopting digital certification. The findings suggest that the digital airworthiness certification system offers a realistic alternative to overcome inefficiencies in existing procedures. Future institutionalization, standardization, and workforce development will be essential for driving the strategic evolution of Korea’s aviation safety system.
