When a discrepancy list is provided to an aircraft owner or operator after an inspection, it says in effect that

• A. The item inspected is airworthy
• B. The item inspected is airworthy except for these discrepancies
• C. The item is not airworthy
• D. The owner must request a reevaluation

Answer: (B)

Discrepancy lists show items found during an inspection that don’t meet the exact standards, but they don’t automatically ground the aircraft. The overall condition is considered airworthy, with the noted discrepancies identified for repair. In other words, the aircraft is airworthy except for these specific issues that must be corrected (often within a set timeframe) to maintain full airworthiness. That’s why this option is the best: it communicates that the inspection found problems, but they don’t make the entire aircraft unairworthy.
