Learning

When the Aviation Safety Regulations mention “Person”, it includes:

Individuals

Companies

Associations

Basically Everyone, including Flight Schools, Pilots, DPE’s and Mechanics

Please select an option. Incorrect The word “Person” in a Regulation denotes a wide applicability

When the Regulations mention “Operate” in reference to Aircraft, it means only to Pilot, or Fly the Aircraft.

True. Only Pilots can actually Operate an Aircraft.

False. Operate means to Pilot the Aircraft, or to Provide the Aircraft for use.

Please select an option. Incorrect An Aircraft Operator can take several forms, for example an Individual pilot, or a Flight School.

Operating an Aircraft that is not Airworthy, is a Violation of an Aviation Safety Regulation.

True. This is a violation of 14 CFR 91. 7

False. Mechanics are Responsible for ensuring Airworthiness.

Please select an option. Incorrect The regulations hold the Operator of an Aircraft Responsible to ensure airworthiness before flight.

The Following Items must be inside the Aircraft while it is being Operated:

Aircraft Flight Manual, Airworthiness Certificate, Registration Certificate.

Aircraft Flight Manual, Airworthiness Certificate, F.C.C. Radio Station License

Aircraft Flight Manual, Airworthiness Certificate, Weight and Balance Record

Aircraft Flight Manual, Airworthiness Certificate, Maintenance Log Book

Please select an option. Incorrect U.S. Registered aircraft flying in U.S. Airspace are not required to have a Radio Station License. The Weight and Balance Record is usually contained in the Aircraft Flight Manual. Although 91.417 explains what maintenance records must be kept, it does not state where to keep them.

You cannot Operate an Aircraft without a proper Log Entry and Return to Service after:

Maintenance

Preventative Maintenance

Alteration

All of the Above

Please select an option. Incorrect Maintenance, Preventative Maintenance, Alteration, and Rebuilding can render an aircraft Un-Airworthy if not completed properly. One way to assure proper completion is through Proper Maintenance Records.

During her Pre Flight Review, Pilot Margaret notices a log entry for a Flap Replacement with an Original Equipment Manufacturer part. What must be done before she takes her sister for a flight?

A Return to Service for the work by an Authorized Person.

A Flight Test and entry in the Logs by at least a Private Pilot.

An FAA Form 337 for the Major Alteration must be in the records File.

Answer 1 & 2 are correct, and required.

Please select an option. Incorrect If Maintenance could appreciably affect the Flight Characteristics, a Flight Check and Log Entry must be made before carrying passengers. A Flap with an OEM part is not considered a Major Alteration.

What two requirements must be met for an Aircraft to be Airworthy?

Conformity to Equipment List, In Condition for Safe Operation

In Condition for Safe Operation, Conformity to Production Certificate

Conformity to Type Design, In Condition for Safe Operation

Annual Inspection Current, In Condition for Safe Operation

Please select an option. Incorrect The Type Design defines how an aircraft meets the Certification Basis. In Condition for Safe Operation means the aircraft is safe with respect to normal wear and deterioration.

If the conditions or limits specified in a Type Certificate Data Sheet are not met, or are exceeded, the aircraft may not meet the airworthiness requirements of it’s design.

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect The Type Certificate Data sheet prescribes conditions and limitations under which the product meets the airworthiness requirements of the Federal Aviation Regulations.

What determines the equipment required to be installed in an aircraft for a particular flight?

Aircraft weight and balance record, Type of Operation, Equipment List

Certification Basis, Type of Operation to be conducted, Airspace to be Flown

Type Certificate Data Sheet, Category of Aircraft, Operational Rule

Equipment list, Type Certificate Data Sheet, ELT

Please select an option. Incorrect Equipment required by Type Design must be installed. Operations require specific equipment: VFR/IFR, day/night. Airspace has equipment requirements: ADSB and Transponder for example.

When does normal wear and deterioration become an unsafe condition?

When normal wear and/or deterioration causes an aircraft part, structure or system to no longer meet its Type Design.

If a part is likely to fail due to its current condition from wear and deterioration, and its failure will cause an accident, hurt, or loss.

When normal wear and/or deterioration occurs and is repaired to restore airworthiness.

Both 1 and 2

Please select an option. Incorrect If a part has worn to the point where it is likely to fail and cause an accident, hurt, or loss, the item is unsafe. Parts must meet their Type Design specifications to ensure safety.

Damage to an aircraft may require an Airworthiness Determination by a Certificated Mechanic.

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect Depending on the level of damage, a Certificated Mechanic using the Aircraft Maintenance Manuals, and possibly consulting with the Manufacturer may be required. Engineering data may need to be developed for repair as well.

Can an owner perform an Annual Inspection, if he is under the supervision of an Airframe and Power Plant Mechanic with an Inspection Authorization (I/A) and the I/A signs off the inspection?

Yes, as long as the Pilot is under the Supervision of a Certificated Mechanic.

No. The inspection must be performed by an I/A (annual or major alteration/repair) or a A&P (100 hour).

Please select an option. Incorrect Only a Properly Certificated Mechanic or Repairman can Perform an Inspection required by Part 91 or 125, or an inspection after a Major Repair or Alteration (I/A Only). Reference 14 CFR 43.3.

For Flight Instruction, Aircraft must have had an Annual or 100 hour inspection within the last 100 hours time in service.

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect In addition to an Annual or 100 Hour Inspection requirement, any Life Limited Pats that have reached their limit must be replaced, and any Applicable AD’s must be accomplished according to the Compliance time specified in the AD.

If a Minimum Equipment list (MEL) and letter of Authorization (LOA) are issued for an aircraft/operator, they must be adhered to as related to flight with inoperative equipment.

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect The MEL and the Letter of Authorization constitute a supplemental type certificate for the aircraft. If issued, they must be used to fly with inoperative equipment.

If no MEL is issued for an Operator/Aircraft, flight with inoperative equipment is permitted if the inoperative equipment:

Is not listed as Required in the Equipment lists

Is not listed as Required by 91.205 (VFR Day)

Is not Required in the Airspace to be flown, or by an Airworthiness Directive

All of the above

Please select an option. Incorrect The requirements for flight with Inoperative equipment when no MEL is required to be used, can be found in 14 CFR 91.213 (d) (2).

If your ADS-B is inoperative, you will need to file a request to fly in ADS-B Airspace using the FAA ADS-B Deviation Authorization PreFlight Tool (ADAPT).

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect Pilots/operators may request an authorization to deviate from the rule to access ADS-B Out rule airspace. The ADS-B Deviation Authorization Preflight Tool (ADAPT) is used to manage these requests.

Certain Inoperative equipment meeting the criteria in 91.213 can be removed and placarded, or deactivated and placarded before flight.

TRUE

FALSE

Please select an option. Incorrect Certain Inoperative equipment meeting the criteria of 91.213 can be Removed or Deactivated before flight. Placarding, Maintenance Record entry, and Hazard Determination requirements must be met.

Inoperative Equipment deactivated and placarded under the provisions of 91.213 must be:

Repaired at the next required Inspection

Removed at the next required Inspection

Inspected at the next required Inspection

Any of the above

Please select an option. Incorrect Repair, Replacement, or Removal are permitted to restore Airworthiness. Deactivated items can remain, but must be inspected at every required inspection.

A Pre Flight Inspection must include a Records Review to:

Check the Status of Life Limited Parts

Check the Status of Airworthiness Directives

Check the Inspection Status

All of the above

Please select an option. Incorrect To ensure an aircraft is Airworthy: Verify it is in condition for safe operation, and it conforms to Type Design. A visual inspection of the aircraft, and a thorough Records review is required.
