True or False: an aerospace vehicle with a Red X condition may be released for a one-time flight provided it can be made airworthy under tightly controlled and specified operating conditions, and with the authorization of the owning OG/CC.

• A. False
• B. Not allowed
• C. True
• D. Only with OG/CC approval

Answer: (C)

Red X marks an unairworthy condition that normally prohibits flight. Yet there is an approved exception: if the aircraft can be made airworthy and there is a compelling need to move it for repair or further assessment, a one-time flight can be permitted under a tightly defined plan and with authorization from the owning OG/CC. This authorization provides top‑level oversight and ensures the flight is limited in scope, with specific operating conditions, crew qualifications, and risk controls. Because the scenario describes exactly that controlled, one‑time authorization to move the aircraft to where proper maintenance can be done, the statement is true.
