  1. Under 14 CFR Part 43, which maintenance record entry is required after an annual inspection?

    Answer: Date, signature, certificate number, and a statement of airworthiness or return to service

    Answer: Technical Standard Orders (TSOs)

    Technical Standard Orders (TSOs) establish minimum performance standards for specified aviation components and materials.

    Answer: 14 CFR Part 43.13

    Part 43.13 requires maintenance be performed using methods, techniques, and practices that restore the aircraft to its original condition, and defects affecting airworthiness must be addressed.

  4. Which document must an FAA-certificated repair station issue when returning an article to service after maintenance?

    Answer: 10 hours

    Under Part 91.409, up to 10 hours may be used to fly the aircraft to a place where the inspection can be performed, but the excess time counts toward the next 100-hour limit.

    Answer: Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

    Airworthiness Directives are legally binding regulations issued under 14 CFR Part 39 requiring corrective action for unsafe conditions.
