Splices in aircraft electrical systems are allowed under which condition?

  1. Only in non-critical areas

  2. When no other option is available

  3. When approved and limited to one between any two connectors

  4. For temporary repairs only

The correct answer is: When approved and limited to one between any two connectors

Splices in aircraft electrical systems are allowed when approved and limited to one between any two connectors. This is because splices can potentially introduce points of failure in the electrical system, so they must be strictly regulated. Option A is incorrect because splices are not only allowed in non-critical areas, but also in critical areas as long as they are approved and limited. Option B is incorrect because splices should not be used as a last resort, but rather, approved and limited. Option D is incorrect because they can also be used for permanent repairs as long as they are approved and limited. Therefore, the most accurate and comprehensive answer is option C.
