Practice questions
Preparation prompts derived from this entry, not an official inspector interview script.
1Does an overdue magnetron change automatically mean a finding?
The source says not to record a finding where mitigation is in place, such as per-watch performance tests and a spare magnetron. The inspector records the last change and mitigation in comments.
Where a finding may arise
Non-operational fitted navigation equipment is a concern. Apply the express no-finding provision for a delayed magnetron change when the stated mitigation is in place, and record the required comment.
