What document/form number is the maintenance warning tag?

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

Answer: (B)

Maintenance warning tags are used to indicate that a component or system is not serviceable and must not be operated until corrective action is completed. The form designated for this tag is AFTO Form 492. It is the tagging document that records what item is affected, the reason for the tag, who issued it, the date and time, and the required action or due date. The tag is placed on the item to prevent use and to ensure that the issue is tracked until it’s resolved. Other AFTO forms serve different purposes within the maintenance process. For example, AFTO Form 781A is used to document maintenance actions taken after a discrepancy is found and becomes part of the aircraft’s maintenance history, while AFTO Form 781K and AFTO Form 601 are used for related but separate documentation needs within the workflow and are not the warning tag form.
