Which of the following describes the inspection and testing requirements of a SART?

A bi-annual inspections and monthly testing
B monthly inspections and monthly testing
C bi-annual inspections and semi-annual testing
D monthly inspections and bi-annual testing
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) monthly inspections and monthly testing. The inspection and testing requirements for a SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) are specified in regulations. SARTs must undergo monthly inspections and monthly testing to ensure they are in proper working condition and ready for use in an emergency. This regular inspection and testing regime helps maintain the reliability and performance of these critical safety devices. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirements. Bi-annual inspections and testing would be too infrequent, while monthly inspections and bi-annual testing would not provide the necessary level of oversight and verification.
