Which report is used to finalize documentation after an inflight event?

• A. ISAP
• B. IOR
• C. MEL
• D. IFR

Answer: (D)

When an inflight event occurs, the crew needs to complete a final record that summarizes everything that happened, what was done, and any follow-up required. The In-Flight Report is that finalized documentation. It captures the sequence of events, actions taken by the crew, passenger impact or injuries, and any corrective actions or recommendations, and it’s the document used to close the event file with safety/compliance. The other reports serve different roles: an Incident/Occurrence Report is typically the initial formal report that starts the investigation process; the Minimum Equipment List pertains to what equipment can be inoperative and how the aircraft can still operate; ISAP refers to a safety action plan or process, not the final event documentation.
