The repair of portions of skin sheets by making additional seams.
Expl- According to the list of major alterations, major repairs and preventive maintenance
listed in 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix A, the repair of portions of skin sheets by making

What is the means by which the FAA notifies aircraft owners and other interested
persons of unsafe conditions and prescribes the condition under which the product may
continue to be operated?
Airworthiness Directives.
Expl- If a condition is found that causes a particular design of aircraft to fail to meet
its certification for airworthiness, the FAA can issue an Airworthiness Directive (AD). An
Airworthiness Directive describes the conditions that must be met to allow the aircraft to
continue to be operated.
An aircraft owner was provided a list of discrepancies on an aircraft that was not
approved for return to service after an annual inspection. Which of the following
statements is/are true concerning who may correct the discrepancies?
1. Only a mechanic with an inspection authorization.
2. An appropriately rated mechanic.
3. Any certificated repair station.
2.
Expl- If an aircraft was not approved for return to service after an annual inspection, a
list of discrepancies that prevented the aircraft from being airworthy is given to the
aircraft owner or operator. These discrepancies may be corrected by an appropriately rated
mechanic and the aircraft approved for return to service.
Which maintenance record entry best describes the action taken for a control cable
showing approximately 20 percent wear on several of the individual outer wires at a
fairlead?
Wear within acceptable limits, repair not necessary.
Expl- Flexible and extra-flexible control cable should be replaced when the individual
wires in each strand appear to blend together (outer wires worn 40 to 50 percent). Since
these wires are only worn 20 percent, the wear is within acceptable limits and repair is
not necessary.
An aircraft was not approved for return to service after an annual inspection and the
owner wanted to fly the aircraft to another maintenance base. Which statement is
correct?
The owner must obtain a special flight permit.
Expl- If an aircraft fails to pass an annual inspection but is considered by the
technician conducting the inspection to be safe for flight, it may be issued a special
flight authorization under the provision of 14 CFR 21.197(a)(1), to allow the aircraft to
be flown to another maintenance base where the required maintenance can be performed.
What is/are the appropriate action(s) concerning minor repairs performed on a
certificated aircraft?
1. FAA Form 337’s must be completed.
2. Entries must be made in the aircraft’s maintenance record.
3. The owner of the aircraft must submit a record of all minor repairs to the FAA at
least annually.
2.
Expl- When a minor repair is performed on a certificated aircraft, an entry must be made
in the aircraft permanent records. A minor repair does not require the completion of an
FAA Form 337.
What is the status of data used as a basis for approving major repairs or alterations
for return to service?
Data must be FAA-approved prior to its use for that purpose.
Expl- Advisory Circular AC 43.9-1F 6.h.(2) states that data used as a basis for approving
major repairs or alterations for return to service must be FAA-approved prior to its use
for that purpose.
In order to reconstruct lost or destroyed aircraft maintenance records, what is it
necessary to establish?
Total time-in-service of the airframe.
Expl- Advisory Circular AC 43-9C 12. states that in order to reconstruct lost or destroyed
maintenance records, it is necessary to establish the total time-in-service of the
airframe.
During an annual inspection, if a defect is found which makes the aircraft
unairworthy, the person disapproving must
provide a written notice of the defect to the owner.
Expl- If, during an annual inspection, a defect is found which makes the aircraft
unairworthy, the person disapproving the aircraft must give the owner a signed and dated
written list of the discrepancies that caused the unairworthy condition.
Which statement is true regarding the use of FAA Form 337?
FAA Form 337 is not authorized for use with other than U.S. registered aircraft.
Expl- Advisory Circular AC 43.9-1F 7.d. states that FAA Form 337 is not authorized for use
on other than U.S.-registered aircraft.
Which statement is true regarding the requirements for maintenance record format?
Any format that provides record continuity and includes the required information may
be used.

airframe, powerplant(s), and propeller(s) are maintained, where is the entry for the
inspection recorded?
In each record.
Expl- Advisory Circular AC 43-9 10. d. states that if the owner maintains separate records
for the airframe, powerplants, and propellers, the entry for the 100-hour inspection is
entered in each, while the annual inspection is only required to be entered into the
airframe record.
For aircraft operated under part 91, which of the following records must be retained
and transferred with the aircraft when it is sold?
Records of the current status of applicable AD’s, and date and time when recurring AD’s are next due.
Expl- 14CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v) and (b)(2) states that the among the records that must be
retained and transferred with the aircraft when it is sold is the current status of the
applicable airworthiness directives (AD’s) including for each, the method of compliance
and the AD number and revision date. If the AD involves recurring action, the time and
date when the next action is required.
For aircraft operated under part 91, what difference is there, if any, between the
record entry requirements for maintenance (e.g., repair or alteration) and the record
entry requirements for inspections (beyond the description of the work performed and
the type and extent of inspection)?
Aircraft total time is required to be included only in the inspection entry.
Expl- 14 CFR 43.9(a)(2) states that each person who maintains, performs preventive
maintenance, rebuilds or alters an aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller,
appliance, or component part shall make an entry in the maintenance record of that
equipment containing the following information… (2) The date of completion of the work
performed.
Which maintenance record entry best describes the action taken for a .125-inch deep
dent in a straight section of 1/2-inch aluminum alloy tubing?
Dented section removed and replaced with identical new tubing flared to 37°.
Expl- The dent is in a straight portion of the tube and is deep enough to warrant its
removal. A dent of up to 0.1 inch (20 percent of the tube diameter) deep would be
acceptable and would not have to be removed. The dented section would have to be removed
and replaced with identical new tubing flared to 37°.
When approving for return to service after maintenance or alteration, the approving
person must enter in the maintenance record of the aircraft
a description (or reference to acceptable data) of work performed, date of completion, the name of the person performing the work (if someone else), signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held.
