  1. What is the function of a Task Card in aircraft maintenance?

    Answer: To provide step-by-step instructions for a specific maintenance task derived from the AMM

    Task cards provide detailed, step-by-step instructions extracted from approved maintenance manuals for performing specific maintenance tasks.

  2. Which of the following best describes a 'controlled document' in an airline maintenance environment?

    Answer: A document subject to formal revision control, approval, and distribution tracking

    Controlled documents are managed under a formal system ensuring that only current approved revisions are in use and obsolete versions are removed.

  3. When a mechanic discovers damage beyond the limits listed in the Aircraft Structural Repair Manual (SRM) during routine maintenance, what is the correct course of action?

    Answer: Stop and obtain DER-approved or manufacturer-approved data before proceeding

    Damage exceeding SRM limits requires approved engineering data (DER or manufacturer approval) before any repair can be performed.

  4. An aircraft component with a 'time since overhaul' (TSO) life limit is approaching expiration. What must occur?

    Answer: The component must be removed and overhauled or replaced before the limit is reached

    Hard life limits must not be exceeded; the component must be removed for overhaul or replacement at or before the specified limit.

  5. What is the purpose of a Functional Check Flight (FCF) following certain maintenance actions?

    Answer: To verify the aircraft systems operate correctly in flight after maintenance before returning to revenue service

    An FCF verifies proper operation of aircraft systems in the flight environment after maintenance that may have affected airworthiness.

  6. What does a Continued Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) approval from the FAA authorize?

    Answer: An operator to maintain aircraft under a customized maintenance schedule approved by the FAA

    An FAA-approved CAMP allows operators to use a customized maintenance program tailored to their operations instead of following default regulatory intervals.

  7. Which of the following scenarios requires an entry on FAA Form 8130-3 (Airworthiness Approval Tag)?

    Answer: Releasing a repaired or overhauled component from an FAA-certificated repair station

    FAA Form 8130-3 is used by certificated repair stations and manufacturers to certify that a component has been returned to an airworthy condition.
