When a 100 hour inspection is completed, if separate maintenance records for the airframe, powerplant(s), and propellers are maintained, where is the entry for the inspection record?

• A. In each record
• B. In the airframe record only
• C. In the powerplant record only
• D. In the propeller record only

Answer: (A)

When separate maintenance records exist for airframe, powerplant, and propeller, the 100-hour inspection must be entered in each applicable record. This keeps the inspection history visible for every major component and ensures regulatory traceability across all parts that were inspected. Logging it in only one record would leave the other records without a documented inspection, which could cause confusion or questions about compliance during future inspections.
