Flying Cross-Country11-1 How long does the Airworthiness Certificate of an aircraft remain valid? A - As long as the aircraft has a current Registration Certificate. B - Indefinitely, unless the aircraft suffers major damage. C - As long as the aircraft is maintained and operated as required by Federal Aviation Regulations. 11-1. Answer C. GFDPPM 11-11 (PHS) The Airworthiness Certificate remains valid only as long as the aircraft is maintained and operated in accordance with the FARs. Answer (A) is incorrect because the Airworthiness Certificate is dependent on the maintenance and operation of the aircraft, not the registration. Obviously, answer (8) is wrong because the Airworthiness Certificate is valid only as long as the aircraft is properly maintained and operated. Minor damage could make an Airworthiness Certificate invalid.
11-2 During the preflight inspection who is responsible for determining the aircraft is safe for flight? A - The owner or operator. B - The certificated mechanic who performed the annual inspection. C - The pilot in command. 11-2. Answer C. GFDPPM 11-11 (PHB) The owner or operator is generally responsible to make sure that the required maintenance and inspections are performed. These tasks may be assigned to a certificated maintenance technician, but the responsibility for compliance remains with the owner or operator. Preflight inspection is the responsibility of the pilot in command (PIC). Prior to every flight, the PIC is required to accomplish a thorough and systematic preflight to ensure that the aircraft is safe for flight. The preflight inspection should be completed according to procedures recommended by the manufacturer. Normally, this means the PIC should use a checklist for the preflight inspection.
11-3 How should an aircraft preflight inspection be accomplished for the first flight of the day? A - Thorough and systematic means recommended by the manufacturer. B - Quick walk around with a check of gas and oil. C - Any sequence as determined by the pilot-in-command. 11-3. Answer A. GFDPPM 11-11,12 (PHB) See explanation for Question 11-2.
