70% to pass

A periodic thorough examination of the cargo gear proves satisfactory. What percentage of the total gear must be dismantled to determine actual internal condition?

A None
B 10%
C 25%
D 100%
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) None. According to the regulations, a periodic thorough examination of the cargo gear only requires a visual inspection of the gear. There is no requirement to dismantle any portion of the cargo gear to determine its internal condition. The visual inspection is sufficient to verify the satisfactory condition of the cargo gear. The other options are incorrect because they would impose an unnecessary and excessive requirement to dismantle the cargo gear, which is not mandated by the regulations.
