If corrective maintenance action is delayed beyond 24 hours, what should the asterisked box before the corrective action block contain?

• A. PP
• B. CF
• C. Not applicable
• D. PP or CF

Answer: (D)

When a corrective maintenance action isn’t completed within 24 hours, you must put a reason for the delay in the asterisked box before the corrective action block. This keeps the maintenance record accurate and helps with tracking, supply, and scheduling. The best answer reflects that the delay can be caused by either parts not yet available or the action itself not feasible at the moment. If you’re waiting on a spare part, use PP (Parts Pending). If the repair can’t be completed now because of tooling, authorization, or other constraints, use CF (Cannot Fix/Can't Finish). Not applicable would be incorrect here because a delay exists and needs a stated reason. Choose the code that matches the actual cause to keep the record clear and actionable.
