Q

Do you ever need to transfer items from the cabin log to the main log?

A

On longhaul flights, only when the Mel shows an (O) or a (P) symbol by the reference implying a performance penalty.

On short haul, it would be a good idea to transfer important items because the engineer can leave open entries and release the aircraft to service.
