If homebuilt AC, special certificate of airworthiness is required
Flight permits may also be issued in the interest of temporarily providing authorization for ferry flights or for testing purposes
CofA validity:
AC must remain in an airworthy condition and all required equipment must be on board, serviceable and functioning
Appropriate periodic inspections must be carried out and entered in the journey log
Any airworthiness directive (AD) must be rectified and certified and signed as airworthy by an AME
AD are special maintenance outlines or items that are issued by an aircraft manufacturer and/or aircraft component manufacturer

AAIR (Annual Airworthiness Information Report):
AAIR must be submitted by the AC owner to TC on an annual basis
Technically the AAIR is not required to go flying
However, this document is a way for TC to keep track of the hours that a particular AC and the General Aviation fleet have both flown respectively
Failure to submit the AAIR to TC does not affect the CoA, but may result in a fine
