Sport Pilot Airplane practice question 3
May a pilot operate an aircraft that is not in compliance with an Airworthiness Directive (AD)?
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Yes, if allowed by the AD.
Operating a product that does not meet an applicable AD is a violation, unless the AD itself allows the operation, for example through a compliance time or a special flight permit to reach a repair facility.
