The aircraft must be on which designation and be airworthy?

• A. The aircraft must be on D085 and airworthy.
• B. The aircraft must be on D080 and airworthy.
• C. The aircraft must be on D090 and airworthy.
• D. The aircraft must be on D095 and airworthy.

Answer: (A)

For Part 135 operations, an aircraft may be dispatched only if it is airworthy and properly designated on the dispatch release for that flight. The designation identifies the exact aircraft authorized to operate, so the flight is tied to the correct airplane in the operator’s records. Ensuring the aircraft is on D085 confirms the correct aircraft is being dispatched, and confirming it is airworthy means it meets all required maintenance and inspection standards. Together, these conditions ensure the flight is both authorized and safe to operate. The other designations would refer to different aircraft or different dispatch records and would not authorize this flight.
