What is the Certificate issued after each maintenance as described in the PCAR?

The correct answer is the Certificate of Release to Service. This certificate serves as an official confirmation that any required maintenance has been completed and that the aircraft is safe and fit for operation. In the aviation industry, ensuring the airworthiness of an aircraft after maintenance is crucial for safety.

The Certificate of Release to Service must be issued by a qualified individual or organization authorized to assess the maintenance performed. It signifies compliance with regulatory requirements and assures that the aircraft meets all necessary operational standards before it can be returned to service.

Other options, such as the Certificate of Maintenance, do not accurately reflect the specific formal documentation required by aviation regulations. Similarly, Return to Service and Maintenance Release do not align with the terminology established in aviation maintenance practices as laid out by aviation authorities and regulations. The Certificate of Release to Service is the designated term that encompasses the necessary conditions for an aircraft’s operational readiness after maintenance.
