Read the first 7 Maintenance and Repair Procedures flashcards as text

  1. Under what authority may an Aviation Safety Inspector (ASI) accept a repair performed using a Designated Engineering Representative (DER) approval?

    Answer: 14 CFR Part 43 and FAA Order 8900.1

    DER approvals are accepted under 14 CFR Part 43 authority and procedural guidance in FAA Order 8900.1.

  2. What type of NDT method is most appropriate for detecting subsurface cracks in aluminum aircraft structure?

    Answer: Ultrasonic pulse-echo testing

    Ultrasonic pulse-echo testing penetrates material to detect internal/subsurface discontinuities in aluminum structure.

  3. An A&P mechanic completes a 100-hour inspection on a piston engine aircraft. Who may return the aircraft to service?

    Answer: Any certificated A&P mechanic

    Any certificated A&P mechanic may return an aircraft to service after a 100-hour inspection; an IA is only required for annual inspections.

  4. What information must be included in a maintenance record entry per 14 CFR Part 43.9?

    Answer: Description of work, date, signature, certificate number, and type of certificate

    14 CFR 43.9 requires the description of work performed, the date, the mechanic's signature, certificate number, and certificate type.

  5. During an ASI surveillance visit, a mechanic is observed using an unapproved solvent to clean fuel system components. What is the immediate concern?

    Answer: Potential chemical incompatibility causing fuel system degradation or fire hazard

    Unapproved solvents may be chemically incompatible with fuel system seals and materials, creating a fire or leak hazard.

  6. What is the function of a control cable tension chart in aircraft maintenance?

    Answer: Determine correct cable tension based on ambient temperature

    Cable tension varies with temperature due to thermal expansion; a tension chart gives the correct specification for current ambient conditions.

  7. Which regulation requires aircraft owners and operators to maintain airworthiness of their aircraft?

    Answer: 14 CFR Part 91.403

    14 CFR 91.403 places primary responsibility for airworthiness on the aircraft owner or operator.
