Aircraft Logbook Flashcards
If you do a max thrust takeoff, must it be recorded in the aircraft log?
Yes.
How often does an autoland need to be accomplished?
It must be accomplished within the preceding 30 days. If it has not been accomplished, one must be performed and properly annotated. if it has not been accomplished in the previous 30 days, the aircraft is restricted to CAT I operations until a successful autoland has been accomplished.
How often must a daily check on the aircraft be accomplished?
A daily check must be accomplished each 48 hours of aircraft operation. That begins after block out following the accomplishment of the check. The aircraft must be planned to block in prior to the expiration of the 48 hour period.
Can a daily check supersede a transit check? Vice versa?
A daily supersedes a transit but not vice versa.
How often is a transit check done?
It must be accomplished prior to each flight leg and is intended to assure serviceability of a transiting airplane. (May not be required if an unplanned diversion occurs– contact Mx control to clarify).
What are deferred items on the aircraft?
These are discrepancies entered in the log which can’t be corrected prior to departure. The DDG provides relief for deferred items. each deferred item will have a number and be entered into the DMI system (Deferred MX item)
All deferred items must be placarded with a DMI sticker on the flight deck in clear view of the crew along with a decal on the log can. DMI stickers will be either white or orange. What is the difference?
The orange DMI sticker implies that the deferred item requires aircraft log action prior to each flight. The discrepancy info on the orange decal will be transferred to the inbound page of the aircraft log by the inbound captain.
What is a non essential furnishing?
Examples of a NEF include interior equipment items, galley equipment items, lavatory items, pax seat items, etc. They are tracked using the same procedure as other deferred items and will have DMI stickers and decals.
Sometimes there will be Non-MEL items on the aircraft recorded in the Non-MEL item list of the log tin.
Non MEL items may include:
- items that don’t affect safety
- items with no effect on normal flight crew operating procedures
- items that aren’t part of the aircraft certification basis
- items not already listed in DDG.
What should the crew do when they discover a maintenance discrepancy or have a warning/caution/advisory message?
Refer to the flow chart in chapter 6 of the FOM to determine the course of action.
What should you do if you have a mx discrepancy in flight?
Address the item with the QRH and the Captain will determine the appropriate course of action. he/she may choose to contact dispatch and mx control to help.
