In addition to a valid Airworthiness Certificate, what documents or records must be aboard an aircraft during flight?
14 CFR 91.203 requires both an Airworthiness Certificate and a Registration Certificate to be aboard aircraft during flight. 14 CFR 91.9 requires that operating limitations be available in the aircraft in an approved Airplane Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof.
Which of the following flights may be made without ADS-B Out equipment installed?
A VFR flight that departs a Class D airport, cruises in Class E airspace at 7,500 ft. MSL, and arrives at another Class D airport may be made without ADS-B Out equipment installed because ADS-B Out is not required in Class D airspace or Class E airspace below 10,000 ft. MSL. ADS-B Out equipment must be installed for all operations (1) in Class A, B, and C airspace; (2) above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of Class B and Class C airspace; and (3) in Class E airspace within the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia at and above 10,000 ft. MSL, excluding the airspace at and below 2,500 ft. above the surface.
Under what condition could an aircraft's engine logbook show no previous operating history?
A new maintenance record, without previous operating history, may be used for an aircraft engine rebuilt by the manufacturer or by an agency approved by the manufacturer.
Who may perform preventive maintenance on an aircraft and approve it for return to service?
A person who holds a pilot certificate issued under Part 61 may perform preventive maintenance on any airplane owned or operated by that pilot that is not used in air carrier service. To approve the airplane for return to service after preventive maintenance is performed by a pilot, the pilot must hold at least a private pilot certificate.
What documentation is required when a pilot has performed preventive maintenance on an aircraft?
A pilot who performs preventive maintenance must make an entry in the maintenance record containing the pilot's signature, certificate number, kind of certificate held, date of completion, and a description of the work performed.

When preventive maintenance is performed on an aircraft, what paperwork is required?
After preventive maintenance has been performed, the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the work and a description of the work must be entered in the aircraft maintenance records.
Which records or documents shall the owner or operator of an aircraft keep to show compliance with an applicable Airworthiness Directive?
Aircraft maintenance records must show the current status of applicable airworthiness directives (ADs) including, for each, the method of compliance, the AD number, and revision date. If the AD involves recurring action, the records must show the time and date when the next action is required.
What type of ADS-B equipment is required in Class A airspace?
Aircraft operating in Class A airspace are required to have ADS-B Out equipment installed that operates on the frequency of 1090 MHz.
What aircraft inspections are required for rental aircraft that are also used for flight instruction?
