What should be done if several minor repairs are required on an aircraft after an annual inspection?

An appropriately rated mechanic may repair the defects after an annual inspection if several minor repairs are required on an aircraft. This is in accordance with regulations that permit certified mechanics to perform necessary maintenance and repairs on aircraft once they are licensed to do so. These mechanics possess the required skills and knowledge to conduct the repairs while ensuring the aircraft remains safe and compliant with airworthiness standards.

Other options suggest either unnecessary actions or limitations. Grounding the aircraft until all repairs are completed may not always be required for minor repairs, as they can often be handled sequentially without impacting the overall safety or operational capacity of the aircraft. Allowing a pilot to conduct repairs breaches the protocol that requires certified mechanics for maintenance tasks and would not ensure compliance with safety standards. Lastly, indicating that a repair station must handle the repairs overlooks the fact that appropriately rated individual mechanics can also perform minor repairs effectively.
