After one year, these entries may no longer need to be preserved unless there are specific legal or operational requirements.
22.
A defect must be entered in the journey log by:
Correct Answer
B. The person who discovers it
Explanation
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.
23.
If the nationality and registration marks of a heavier than air aircraft other than a helicopter or gyroplane are displayed on the lower wing surface, they must be:
Correct Answer
A. Not less than 19.68 inches high
Explanation
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.
24.
Which type of flight authority do ultra-light aeroplanes and hang gliders require?
Correct Answer
C. Flight authority is not required
Explanation
Ultra-light aeroplanes and hang gliders do not require flight authority because they are considered to be recreational aircraft that operate under certain restrictions and limitations. 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.
25.
