When an Inspector clears a Red X symbol, where will they enter their last name initial in black?

• A. Over the Symbol
• B. Under the Symbol
• C. Next to the Symbol
• D. In the Remarks

Answer: (A)

Clearing a Red X means the issue behind the symbol has been addressed and the item is allowed to return to service. The inspector’s last name initial in black is written over the symbol to attach the clearance directly to that symbol, making the endorsement immediately visible and clearly linked to the specific item. Placing the initial under the symbol can obscure or obscure it, and putting it next to the symbol can create ambiguity about which symbol it belongs to. Recording the initial in the Remarks separates the clearance from the symbol and reduces quick visibility and traceability. Writing over the symbol provides a straightforward, durable sign-off that supports quick visual verification during inspections and audits.
