Which statement is not true with regard to maintenance ferry flights?

• A. A designated ferry-flight crew may operate if approved.
• B. Maintenance personnel must occupy the jumpseat.
• C. In-flight maintenance is not permitted.
• D. The flight must comply with all applicable regulations.

Answer: (B)

The main rule being tested is who can be aboard and where they sit on maintenance ferry flights. A designated ferry-flight crew may operate if approved, ensuring the flight has qualified personnel to conduct ferry operations. In-flight maintenance is not permitted, so no maintenance work is done mid-journey. The flight must comply with all applicable regulations, covering both airworthiness and crew qualifications. The statement about maintenance personnel occupying the jumpseat is the not-true one because jumpseat occupancy is not mandatory for maintenance personnel; they’re not required to sit in the jumpseat, and seating is determined by authorization and availability.
