What must be completed before a yellow tag can be removed?

• A. A blue tag attached
• B. A new tag printed
• C. A service tag indicating noncompliant conditions were corrected
• D. A maintenance report filed

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that when a yellow tag is in place, it signals that there are conditions that must be addressed before the system can be brought back fully into service. Removing that yellow tag requires formal verification that the noncompliant conditions have been corrected. A service tag serves as the official record that the necessary corrective actions have been completed and inspected. It documents what was wrong, what was fixed, and that the system is now back in compliance, which is why it’s the specific step required to clear the yellow tag.

Other options don’t provide that formal verification. Attaching a blue tag is for a different purpose and doesn’t certify corrective actions. Printing a new tag doesn’t address whether the deficiencies were corrected. Filing a maintenance report logs work but doesn’t, by itself, confirm that the noncompliant conditions were resolved, which is essential before removing the yellow tag. The service tag is the recognized documentation that clears the warning and allows re-entry into service.
