FAA Ground School Practice Test

What document provides information on the last completed annual condition inspection of an aircraft?

1. Weight and balance report

2. Flight operations manual

3. Aircraft maintenance records

4. Logbook of all flights

The correct answer is: Aircraft maintenance records

The aircraft maintenance records are essential for tracking the maintenance history and airworthiness of an aircraft. This document includes detailed information about all inspections, repairs, and modifications performed on the aircraft, including the last completed annual condition inspection. By having these records, aircraft owners and operators can demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements and ensure that the aircraft has been maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and FAA regulations. This is crucial for safety, as it helps verify that the aircraft is in a condition for safe operation, and it provides a thorough history that can inform future maintenance decisions. Other documents, while important for different aspects of aviation operations, do not provide comprehensive details about maintenance inspections. The weight and balance report focuses on the aircraft's load distribution and its effect on performance, the flight operations manual contains operational guidelines and procedures for flying the aircraft, and the logbook of all flights records the actual flights completed but lacks detailed maintenance history information.
