In the damage assessment workflow, what is the step after visually inspecting for tears and abrasions?

• A. Assess patch integrity, measure damage, classify as serviceable or not, and document results.
• B. Ignore damage and proceed.
• C. Apply a patch without assessment.
• D. Document results before inspection.

Answer: (A)

After visually inspecting for tears and abrasions, the next step is to evaluate the patch condition by checking patch integrity, measuring the damage, deciding if the patch is serviceable or not, and documenting the results. This sequence ensures you quantify the extent of damage, determine repair feasibility, and keep a formal record for safety and compliance. Ignoring damage, patching without assessment, or documenting results before you have findings would skip essential checks and create unsafe or inaccurate maintenance records.
