Which format would amend the aircraft type of N34868 to BE36/A?

• A. AM N34868 03 BE36/A
• B. AM N34868 BE36/A
• C. FP N34868 03 BE36/A
• D. RS N34868 02 BE36/A

Answer: (A)

When updating an aircraft’s type in the registry, the action code, registration, amendment number, and new type designation all need to appear in the exact order. The correct format uses an amendment action code at the front to signal that this is a change to the aircraft’s type, then the aircraft’s registration (N-number), then the amendment sequence number, and finally the new type designation.

Here, the amendment action code is AM, which clearly indicates a type amendment. The N-number shown is N34868, followed by the amendment number 03, and the new type BE36/A. This exact sequence tells the registry that the aircraft with registration N34868 is being amended to BE36/A, and it specifies that this is the third amendment in the record.

The other formats use different action codes, omit the amendment number, or use a different amendment number, which would not correctly indicate a type amendment for this registration.
