Logbook Stuff

 

Ensure that yellow page has been removed for any item signed off by mechanic. White page stays in logbook.

 

Full power takeoffs must be logged every 30 days or 150 takeoffs. The pilot will be notified in the release paperwork if a maximum thrust takeoff is required by the phrase “MAX THRUST DEMO REQUIRED” on the TPS departure plan. The result (successful, unsuccessful or not attempted) must be noted in the logbook (FOM 5.7.1).

 

Pilot MUST make logbook entry for MEL items if FR is noted for Follow up Required. (PH 11.5.5) If M notation then Maintenance will complete required actions and if O notation flight crew will complete required Operational items.

 

CAT II/III Recertification – see FOM 11.7

OK if 5 miles and 15 knots or less in all cases. Use Data Key, Position Monitor to determine NAV accuracy. If ground speed on ND’s & IRU 3 TK/GS exceeds 15 knots, enter logbook entry for maintenance to track and verify, if exceeds 21 knots enter logbook entry for IRU removal.
