What must an amended release contain?

• A. Amendment number
• B. Time
• C. Dispatcher's initials
• D. Supporting documentation

Answer: (A)

Tracking changes to a flight release hinges on a clear revision identifier. An amended release must include an amendment number because this number uniquely identifies the specific revision of the document. It provides a precise, auditable record of what changed, when it changed, and how the release differs from the previous version, which is essential for crews and operations to reference the correct instructions and safety parameters.

Other details like the time, the dispatcher's initials, or supporting documentation may accompany changes for context or accountability, but they do not serve as the definitive identifier of the revision. The amendment number is what guarantees version control and traceability across updates.
