Before which flight should the wheel issue be documented for inspection?

• A. Next maintenance window
• B. Before the next flight
• C. After the next flight
• D. During annual inspection

Answer: (B)

When a wheel issue is found, it must be documented and addressed before any further flight to ensure the aircraft remains airworthy. Logging the discrepancy before the next flight creates the maintenance trigger and keeps the airplane from returning to service with an unresolved defect. Waiting until the next maintenance window or after a flight would allow potentially unsafe operation with a known issue, and waiting for an annual inspection is far too delayed for a safety-critical component like the wheel. Documenting before the next flight makes sure inspection and corrective action happen promptly.
