Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. A description of the work performed, the date completed, the name of the person performing the work, and the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the work for return to service
14 CFR 43.9 requires that maintenance records contain a description of the work, the date of completion, the name of the person performing the work, and the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the return to service.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Incomplete; omits required description of work and approval signature/certificate data.
- C. Incomplete; next due date and registration number alone do not satisfy 43.9.
- D. Incomplete; total time and parts list are not the full requirement.
