For an individual to conduct a complete 100-hour inspection on an aircraft and approve it for return to service requires a mechanic certificate with?

Airframe rating only.
Powerplant rating only.
Airframe and powerplant ratings.
Inspection authorization.

The correct answer is: Airframe and powerplant ratings.

A person must hold both airframe and powerplant ratings to conduct a complete 100-hour inspection and approve an aircraft for return to service. This is because a 100-hour inspection requires knowledge and skills in both airframe and powerplant maintenance and repair. Option A is incorrect because having only an airframe rating would not provide sufficient knowledge for a complete inspection. Option B is also incorrect for the same reason. Option D, inspection authorization, is a separate certification that allows an individual to perform a variety of inspections, but it does not replace the need for the airframe and powerplant ratings for conducting a 100-hour inspection.
