• Aircraft have a maintenance schedule that they must follow– Examples

• Airplanes – 100 hr and 50 hr inspections• Gliders – 100 hr inspection


• Requirements for flying an A/C after an occurrence:– The A/C has to be inspected for damage– Where the inspection does not involve

disassembly it can be done by the PIC

Aircraft Technical Records

• Besides the Journey log, technical logs are kept for each aircraft.

• It records all the same information as the journey log PLUS details on the maintenance, installations, and modifications performed on the aircraft

• For complex aircraft different logs may be kept for the airframe, propeller(s) and engine(s)
