Study Notes
Aircraft Technical Logbooks
- Aircraft owners must maintain technical records, including a journey log, separate records for airframe, engines, and propellers, and an empty weight and balance report.
- Separate technical records can be used for each component within the airframe, engine, or propeller.
- Balloon or glider owners, or those with special maintenance certificates, may keep all entries in one journey log.
Logbook Types
- Airframe Log: Records all maintenance, airframe and system technical records.
- Installation & Modifications Log: Records modifications, major installations, engine/propeller removals/installations, and AD/SB completions.
- Engine Log: Holds technical records for each engine—including identification, time, maintenance, AD/SB/SI completions, and modifications for each component. The log remains with the engine.
- Propeller Log: Similar to engine log, holds records specific to the propeller, including identification, time, maintenance, AD/SB/SI completions, and modifications. The log remains with the propeller.
- Component Log: Maintains records for individual components (manufacturer, model, serial number, location, limitations, work performed, and AD/SB/SI completions). Separate log sheets exist per component.
- Journey Log: Records pilot information and AME technical entries, ALL maintenance performed are recorded here and flies with the aircraft.
Logbook Usage and Logistics
- Only necessary logbooks should be used (no propeller logbook if no propellers).
- The five technical logbooks (airframe, installations, engine, propeller, and component) do not fly with the aircraft.
- Gliders and balloons only require a journey log.
- Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) and pilots write entries.
Logbook Entry Guidelines
- Entries use the 24-hour clock and are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
- Daylight saving time adjustments are applied to calculated hours.
Important Logbook Information
- Airframe Log acts as the central control point for all maintenance and flight time records. It also records all Maintenance Release documents and certification/release documents for components.
- Installation & Modification Log focuses on major modifications and installations.
- Engine and Propeller Logs are specific to each engine and propeller respectively, keeping a permanent track of maintenance for that component. This log stays with the component even if it's exchanged or sold.
