Stripmarking must be in accordance with FAA Orders and Academy lesson plans and which guide?

• A. The Aero Center Phraseology and Stripmarking Guide
• B. The Airline Operations Manual
• C. The International Flight Regulations
• D. The Aircraft Maintenance Manual

Answer: (C)

Stripmarking in training is tied to the official rules that govern flight operations across borders. FAA Orders and Academy lesson plans set how marking work should be done in our program, but the guide that provides the global, standardized rules for flight operations is the International Flight Regulations. This ensures that markings are interpreted and applied consistently worldwide, not just within a single airline or within maintenance documentation. The other guides focus on narrower areas—phraseology for communication, airline-specific procedures, or maintenance tasks—and do not provide the broad international framework that governs how stripmarking is understood and applied in training and operations.
