Abstract:This knowledge test guide was developed to be used by applicants preparing to take the Inspection Authorization
Knowledge Test on the computer.
The FAA initiated the issuance of the Inspection Authorization more than 35 years ago. This system of allowing
qualified mechanics the privilege of performing certain inspections has served well in the maintenance of the U.S.
civil fleet. The attainment of an Inspection Authorization and performance of the duties of that certificate greatly
enhance the privileges and responsibilities of the aircraft mechanic. The Inspection Authorization permits the
Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanic to perform a greater variety of maintenance and alterations than any
other single maintenance entity.
The determination of airworthiness during an inspection is a serious responsibility. For many general aviation
aircraft, the annual inspection could be the only in-depth inspection it receives throughout the year. In view of the
wide ranging authority conveyed with the authorization, the test examines a broader field of knowledge than
required for the A&P certificate and reflects the emphasis that is placed on the holder of the certificate in
perpetuating air safety.
This guide is not offered as a quick and easy way to obtain the necessary information for passing the knowledge
tests. There is no quick and easy way to obtain knowledge in addition to the skills needed to acquire an Inspection
Authorization. Rather, the intent of this guide is to define and narrow the field of study, as much as possible, to
the required knowledge for obtaining an Inspection Authorization certificate.
