Red diagonal (Correct answer)
Red X
Circled red X
Red horizontal dash

Correct answer: Red diagonal

A red diagonal shows a fault that does not stop safe operation.

Conditional inspections are performed when a specific event or condition occurs.

Question 16: What is the main difference between a maintenance operational check (MOC) and a maintenance test flight (MTF)?

An MOC requires a test pilot; an MTF does not
An MOC is a ground check of a system, while an MTF requires flight to verify airworthiness (Correct answer)
An MOC applies only to engines
There is no difference

Correct answer: An MOC is a ground check of a system, while an MTF requires flight to verify airworthiness

An MOC verifies system function on the ground; an MTF is needed when correct operation can only be checked in flight.
