Who is responsible for making the entry in the maintenance records after an annual, 100 hour, or progressive inspection?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The person approving or disapproving the aircraft for return to service is responsible for making the entry in the maintenance records after an annual, 100‑hour, or progressive inspection.

Relevant knowledge points and concepts:
- Federal maintenance rules require a written record when an inspection is completed and the aircraft is approved or disapproved for return to service. The entry must be made by the person who actually approves or disapproves the aircraft for return to service.  
- Different inspections have different authorizations for who may approve: annual inspections must be approved by an appropriately certificated mechanic (often an A&P with Inspection Authorization for certain approvals), 100‑hour inspections may be approved by an A&P mechanic, and progressive programs are approved by authorized persons/repair stations. Regardless, the approver is the one who signs the record.  
- Required elements of the entry include a description of the inspection, date, aircraft total time (as applicable), signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving.

Step‑by‑step reasoning:
1. An inspection (annual, 100‑hour, or progressive) is completed by the inspector/technician.  
2. The inspector determines whether the aircraft is approved or disapproved for return to service.  
3. The person who makes that approval decision must make the maintenance-record entry documenting the inspection and the approval/disapproval, including their signature and certificate information. This ensures traceability and legal responsibility for the approval.

Why the correct answer is correct:
- The regulations and accepted maintenance practice place the recordkeeping obligation on the approver because that person accepts responsibility for the aircraft’s condition and the decision to return it to service.

Why other possible answers are incorrect (briefly):
- Owner/operator: may request or receive the inspection results but is not necessarily authorized to approve return to service unless they hold the appropriate certificate.  
- Technician who performed only parts of the inspection: may record work performed, but if they do not approve the aircraft for return to service they should not be the one making the final approval entry.  
- Repair station without authorized approver: the organization must have an authorized person make and sign the approval entry.

Conclusion: The correct answer is that the person approving or disapproving for return to service is responsible for making the maintenance record entry, which matches the provided answer.
