FAA Powerplant Written Practice Test

What must maintenance and inspections on light sport aircraft be recorded in?

1. The pilot's flight log

2. The engine performance record

3. The aircraft maintenance logbook

4. A compliance audit report

The correct answer is: The aircraft maintenance logbook

Maintenance and inspections on light sport aircraft must be recorded in the aircraft maintenance logbook to ensure proper tracking and accountability of all maintenance work performed. This logbook serves as an official record that documents the aircraft's maintenance history, compliance with regulatory requirements, and any alterations made to the aircraft. It is crucial for maintaining the airworthiness of the aircraft and provides valuable information for future inspections or if the aircraft is sold. Properly documenting maintenance in the aircraft maintenance log also aids in verifying that all necessary inspections have been completed in accordance with FAA regulations.
