Which DA forms are completed by the Maintenance Pilot as necessary?

• A. DA Forms 2397-6, -7, and -12
• B. DA Forms 2397-1, -2, and -3
• C. DA Forms 2397-4, -5, and -6
• D. DA Forms 2397-8, -9, and -10

Answer: (A)

Maintenance pilots are responsible for certifying that an aircraft is safe to fly after maintenance, so they complete the DA forms that capture the post-maintenance checks, flight release decisions, and final release notes. The forms 2397-6, 2397-7, and 2397-12 are the ones designated for that responsibility, and they are only completed when such actions are required. This aligns with their role in ensuring flight readiness and proper documentation of flight-pertinent maintenance actions. Other DA 2397 forms are typically filled out by technicians or maintenance control to record the work performed, the discrepancies found, and the status of the maintenance, without the pilot's sign-off.
