Maintaining aircraft by using flight log books

Similar to paper-based log books, flight log books provide an electronic record of flight information and maintenance operations for aircraft and aircraft training devices. When maintenance is required, you can log discrepancies and corrective actions.

  • Flight log books
    A flight log book holds information for one aircraft only. During the lifecycle of the aircraft, the same flight log book is used to record and maintain information about that specific aircraft. The flight log book includes information about the aircraft and its flight data, discrepancies, maintenance, and personnel.
  • Enabling the inventory management process for flight log books
    The inventory issue and returns process can be used for replenishments and for the loading and unloading of munitions in the Flight Log Book application. When you track replenishments and munitions in the inventory applications, you can more accurately manage your inventory and can conduct replenishment and munitions firing analysis for your entire fleet.
  • Creating flight log book setup records
    The flight log book setup record provides the flexibility to create a flight log book record that is tailored to an aircraft and the regulations that are required in the country of registration of the aircraft. You create a flight log book setup record to configure how the flight log book record displays and collects information for a specific aircraft.
  • Managing flight log book records
    After you create a flight log book record, you create a flight record for each flight, recording the flight details, meter readings, and replenishment requirements. You can associate a flight record with discrepancy records and you can defer discrepancy records.
  • Maintaining logs
    You create and maintain logs to track information such as trip details, problems that occurred during a trip, maintenance recommendations, work orders, and crew certifications.
