Which status symbol allows the aircraft to fly under specific restrictions until corrected?

The status symbol that allows an aircraft to fly under specific restrictions until corrected is indicated by the circled X (Circle Red X). This symbol communicates that certain conditions or deficiencies exist, which must be addressed, yet it is not a complete grounding of the aircraft. The circled X may be applied in circumstances where operational limits or restrictions are identified, permitting the aircraft to continue flying but under careful oversight or with specific operational limitations in place.

The importance of this symbol lies in its function as a temporary measure—aircraft can still operate but must be monitored closely for any issues related to the identified deficiency. This can allow for improved flexibility and operational readiness, particularly in situations where a minor issue may not immediately necessitate halting all operations but needs to be rectified.

In contrast, the grounding X (Red X) indicates that the aircraft must be grounded due to more serious issues that compromise airworthiness, while the horizontal dash and diagonal symbols are typically used for different types of maintenance statuses and don't imply any operational capability.
