What does a discrepancy list after an inspection imply about airworthiness?

• A. The item is airworthy only if no discrepancies exist
• B. Except for these discrepancies, the item inspected is airworthy
• C. The item is not airworthy
• D. The item does not require any further action

Answer: (B)

Discrepancy lists identify deviations from airworthiness standards found during an inspection. They show issues that must be corrected, but they don’t automatically render the entire item unairworthy. The item is considered airworthy for flight except for the listed discrepancies, and once those issues are addressed, airworthiness is restored. The other options are too absolute: some discrepancies can be allowed under approved limitations, and action is typically required to fix them rather than saying no further action is needed.
