Which statement about CAP post-flight requirements is true?

Which statement about CAP post-flight requirements is true?

• A. The post-flight requirement is mandatory after every flight
• B. Post-flight inspections are optional
• C. Post-flight inspections apply only to passenger aircraft
• D. Only flights with CFI on board require post-flight inspection

Answer: (A)

After every flight, a post-flight inspection is required to verify the aircraft is still airworthy and to catch any new issues or damage before the next use. This responsibility rests with the PIC, and the inspection is a standard part of CAP operations, not something you can skip or do only sometimes. That’s why the statement saying the post-flight requirement is mandatory after every flight is the best answer. It applies to all flights and all aircraft, regardless of whether passengers are aboard or whether a CFI is present. It isn’t limited to passenger aircraft or contingent on a CFI being onboard, and it isn’t optional.
