There is no regulatory requirement to keep discrepancies as part of your aircraft records. This may be why using discrepancies as a management tool works so well! |
When you get this very simple concept, you will be amazed that it is so seldom used. Using Discrepancy Management is so easy and does so much, you will want to start using this immediately. |
What are the goals? 1. Track what is done to the airplane and why. It's the "why" that is usually lost when the records tell the story of the aircraft. 2. Retain the airworthiness paperwork with all parts changed. 3. Retain the warranty information with each part used to correct each discrepancy. 5. Retain shipping information for each part sent out, or received. 6. Track labor hours for each discrepancy. 7. Track recurring or intermittent discrepancies and what corrective actions that have been taken so far. 8. Have one discrepancy tracking system that is used in service and through each inspection and keeps each discrepancy in order as found. 9. Enable a consistent method of approval for return to service for a single Tech or Worker and Inspector. 10. Must be convenient to take with on-board records and not require more technology than a pen. |
OK, so how does this work? |
