According to 14 CFR 43.9(a), which of the following is NOT required in a maintenance record entry for routine work performed?
- AThe signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the work
- BThe total time in service of the airframe
- CThe date the work was completed

Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. The total time in service of the airframe
14 CFR 43.9(a) requires a description of work, date of completion, name of person performing the work, and signature/certificate number/type of certificate of the person approving the return to service. Total time in service is required for inspection record entries under 43.11, not for general maintenance entries under 43.9.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This is explicitly required by 43.9(a)(4).
- C. This is explicitly required by 43.9(a)(1).
- D. This is explicitly required by 43.9(a)(1).
43.9 Maintenance Record Entries
Specifies the minimum information required in a logbook entry for maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, and alteration.
- Requires description of work, date, and who performed it
- Requires signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate of approving person
- Total time in service is a separate 43.11 inspection requirement
Memory trick: 'DDSK' — Description, Date, Signature, Kind of certificate.
