The person who discovers the defect should enter it in the journey log. This is because they are the first to notice the issue and are responsible for reporting it. The pilot in command may also be responsible for entering the defect if they are made aware of it by the person who discovers it. The owner of the aircraft or a person delegated by the owner may have the authority to enter the defect in the log as well. An appropriately rated AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineer) may be involved in addressing and documenting the defect, but they may not necessarily be the one to enter it in the journey log.

When a Transport Canada AD conflicts with an airworthiness directive from the Civil Aviation Authority holding jurisdiction over the initial type design, the Transport Canada AD prevails. This means that the directive issued by Transport Canada takes precedence over the foreign airworthiness directive. Therefore, in such a situation, operators and individuals must comply with the requirements and instructions outlined in the Transport Canada AD to ensure airworthiness and safety.

The correct answer is "There is no allowable tolerance." This means that there is no margin or leeway given when it comes to airworthiness limitations. These limitations must be strictly adhered to without any room for deviation. Any violation or failure to comply with these limitations can pose a risk to the safety and airworthiness of the aircraft. Therefore, it is crucial to follow these limitations without any tolerance for non-compliance.

An ex-military aircraft would most likely have a Special C of A - limited flight authority. This is because ex-military aircraft often have modifications or unique features that require a special certification. The limited aspect of the authority suggests that there may be certain restrictions or limitations on the aircraft's operation, such as specific routes or purposes for which it can be used. This type of authority ensures that the aircraft meets the necessary safety standards and can be operated in a controlled and regulated manner.

The correct answer defines a recurring defect as a failure mode that is repeated three times on a specific aircraft within 15 flight segments after a previous repair for that same failure mode. This means that the defect is persistently occurring and requires multiple repairs to address it.

Hard time is the correct answer because it refers to a maintenance process where a part is taken out of service or overhauled at specific intervals, such as operating hours, operating cycles, or calendar time. This approach ensures that the part is regularly inspected and maintained to prevent any potential failures or issues. It is a proactive measure to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment or system.

When a person brings into use a new volume of an existing technical record, they need to make entries relating to the preceding volume to ensure that an unbroken chronological record is maintained. This means that they should record any relevant information from the previous volume in the new volume, so that the record remains complete and in order. This helps to maintain the integrity and continuity of the technical record.

The correct answer is "Not less than 19.68 inches high". This means that the nationality and registration marks of the aircraft should be displayed on the lower wing surface and they should be at least 19.68 inches in height. This ensures that the marks are easily visible and legible from a distance, allowing for easy identification of the aircraft's nationality and registration.

When a pilot-in-command suspects an abnormal occurrence in the aircraft, they may carry out an inspection if certain conditions are met. Firstly, the aircraft must be away from its base, and the abnormal occurrence should not be a hard landing. Additionally, the inspection should not involve the disturbance of flight or engine controls. The pilot-in-command must have received proper training as per the regulations, and most importantly, the inspection should not require any disassembly of the aircraft.

All Canadian aircraft, with the exception of ultra-lights and hang gliders, must operate under a maintenance schedule approved under CAR 625. This means that all aircraft, except for ultra-lights and hang gliders, are required to adhere to a maintenance schedule that has been approved under CAR 625 regulations. These regulations ensure that the aircraft are properly maintained and meet the necessary safety standards.

A magnetic direction indicator re-calibration must be carried out after an aircraft lightning strike because the electrical discharge can cause the compass to deviate from its correct reading. It should also be done every 12 months as part of regular maintenance to ensure the accuracy of the compass. Additionally, any work performed on the aircraft that may affect the magnetic direction indicator, such as repairs or modifications, should prompt a re-calibration to ensure its proper functioning. Therefore, all of the above reasons require a magnetic direction indicator re-calibration.

When the damage to the aircraft skin measures 6 inches or less in any direction, it is not considered specialized maintenance. This means that if the damage is within this size limitation, it can be repaired without requiring specialized maintenance procedures or expertise. This suggests that smaller damages to the aircraft skin can be repaired using standard maintenance practices, without the need for extensive repairs or replacement of the damaged skin.

ELT batteries must be replaced according to the ELT manufacturer's recommendations. This means that the manufacturer of the ELT device will provide specific guidelines or instructions on when the battery should be replaced. These recommendations may take into account factors such as battery life, performance, and safety. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure that the ELT device functions properly and is ready for use in case of an emergency.

Under an approved MCM, a flight training unit or a commercial air service can borrow a part through a pooling agreement for a maximum duration of 100 hours or 90 days, whichever is greater. This means that they can use the borrowed part for up to 100 hours of flight time or for a period of 90 days, whichever is longer. This allows them to temporarily replace a faulty part and continue their operations without having to immediately purchase a new part.

The correct answer is "Subject to satisfactory test flight". This statement indicates that the maintenance release is dependent on the test flight being completed successfully. It implies that the release will only be valid if the test flight meets the necessary requirements and ensures the aircraft's satisfactory performance. This condition ensures that any potential issues or malfunctions can be identified and addressed before the aircraft is released for regular operation.

A Service Difficulty Report (SDR) is a critical document in aviation maintenance used to report any significant issues or defects that occur in aircraft operations. Regulations require that these reports be submitted within 3 working days of discovering the defect. Prompt reporting ensures that necessary actions can be taken to maintain safety and compliance, helping prevent future incidents and ensuring the continued airworthiness of the aircraft.

These aircraft are typically designed for recreational purposes and are flown in specific areas designated for their use, such as designated airfields or specific airspace. As a result, they do not need formal flight authority like other types of aircraft that operate in controlled airspace.

An AMO authorized to perform 100 hour inspections would be rated for aircraft. This means that they have the authority to conduct inspections and maintenance on aircraft, specifically focusing on the 100 hour inspection requirement. The AMO would have the necessary knowledge and expertise to carry out these inspections and ensure the aircraft is in compliance with regulations and safety standards.

A large aircraft must be reweighed every five years. This is necessary to ensure that the aircraft's weight and balance information is accurate and up to date. Over time, factors such as wear and tear, modifications, and changes in equipment can affect the aircraft's weight and center of gravity. By conducting regular reweighing, any changes in weight or center of gravity can be identified and accounted for, ensuring the safety and proper performance of the aircraft.

An aircraft may be operated without a flight authority on board if it has a specific purpose flight permit, ferry flight, and the flight is conducted entirely within Canadian airspace. This means that if the flight is authorized by a specific purpose flight permit and is solely for the purpose of ferrying the aircraft within Canadian airspace, it can be operated without a flight authority on board.

The approved inspection schedule for small, piston powered aircraft can be found in CAR 625, Appendix B, part I.

The given statement states that "Specialized Maintenance may be certified by an independent AME." However, none of the options provided support this statement. Option a states "On privately registered aircraft under 12,566 lbs," which does not mention anything about certification by an independent AME. Option b states "Where no maintenance release is required pursuant to CAR 571," which also does not mention anything about certification. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the above" as none of the options support the given statement.

According to CAR 625, Appendix C, fixed pitch or ground adjustable propellers must be checked for corrosion every 5 years. This time interval is specified in the absence of manufacturer's recommendations.

The correct answer states that variable pitch propellers must be overhauled where the manufacturer has made recommendations regarding the air time between overhauls, at the interval recommended or every ten years, whichever comes first. This means that the manufacturer's recommendations should be followed when determining when to overhaul the propellers. If the manufacturer has not provided specific recommendations, the propellers should be overhauled every ten years to ensure their proper functioning and safety.

A special C of A, restricted, is the required flight authority for both an aircraft with a type certificate in the restricted category and an aircraft that has been modified in such a manner that it no longer complies with the basis of its original type certificate. This means that if an aircraft falls into either of these categories, it must obtain a special C of A, restricted, in order to legally fly.

The correct answer is "Pursuant to the MPM of an appropriately rated AMO." This means that all maintenance on aircraft operating under an Air Operator Certificate must be performed and certified according to the Maintenance Policy Manual (MPM) of an Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) that is appropriately rated. The MPM outlines the specific procedures and guidelines that must be followed to ensure the safe and proper maintenance of the aircraft.

Specialized maintenance on small, private, piston-powered aircraft must be certified by an appropriately rated AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineer) who is authorized to sign a maintenance release under the MPM (Maintenance Policy Manual) of an AMO (Approved Maintenance Organization) approved for the specific type of specialized maintenance. This ensures that the maintenance is carried out by a qualified individual who has the necessary authorization and is working within the guidelines and regulations set by the approved maintenance organization.

Maintenance entries in the technical record of an aircraft can be made by the person who performed the maintenance or by the aircraft owner.
