Which form number is the aircraft inspection and maintenance record?

• A. DA Form 2408-13-1
• B. DD Form 1575
• C. DD Form 1574
• D. DA Form 2407

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that aircraft inspections and maintenance are recorded on a dedicated form specifically for that purpose. The Aircraft Inspection/Maintenance Record is documented on DA Form 2408-13-1, which is the log used to note inspections, any discrepancies found, maintenance actions taken, parts replaced, and the current status. This form stays with the aircraft and creates a traceable history that supports airworthiness and mission readiness. Other forms serve different administrative tasks: DD Form 1574 and DD Form 1575 are DoD forms used for purposes unrelated to the aircraft’s maintenance log, and DA Form 2407 is a general maintenance request/status form rather than the formal inspection/maintenance record. Therefore, DA Form 2408-13-1 is the correct form for the aircraft inspection and maintenance record.
