Who is primarily responsible for maintaining an aircraft in airworthy condition?
A
Owner or operator.✓ Correct Answer
B
Pilot-in-command.
C
Mechanic.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.403(a) makes the owner or operator primarily responsible for maintaining an aircraft in an airworthy condition, including compliance with airworthiness directives. The pilot in command decides whether the aircraft is safe for a given flight (91.7), and the mechanic is responsible for the work performed, but neither carries the primary maintenance responsibility.
