If corrective action for discrepancies will be delayed, discrepancies other than Red X items may be transferred to AFTO Form ______.

If corrective action for discrepancies will be delayed, discrepancies other than Red X items may be transferred to AFTO Form ______.

• A. AFTO Form 781A
• B. AFTO Form 781K
• C. AFTO Form 492
• D. AFTO Form 601

Answer: (B)

When a discrepancy isn’t urgent enough to block operations, the system uses a separate record to keep track of it while actions are being scheduled. The AFTO Form 781A is the primary log for discrepancies, but if the corrective action will be delayed, non-urgent items are transferred to AFTO Form 781K to document the deferral, assign responsibility, note the planned action, and set a due date. This keeps the main discrepancy log focused on items needing immediate attention (like Red X) while still preserving accountability and a clear plan for when the maintenance will be completed. The other forms serve different administrative purposes and aren’t designed for tracking deferred discrepancies in the same way.
