1. An aircraft factory provides two record booklets for each aircraft it produces;
one for the aircraft and one for its engine. The reason for having separate
booklets is that the life of the aircraft is always longer than the life of the
engine. These booklets are never kept in the aircraft itself but in Squadron
headquarters. They are treated as Secret documents. The following information
goes into these records:
Date and length of time the aircraft has been in the air.
Date and length of time the engine has run while on the ground.
Record of all repairs to both the aircraft and the engine, plus* record of
when and where repairs were made.
List of replacement parts for both the aircraft and the engine.
Life expectancy of replacement parts
Who estimated the life expectancy.
Climatic conditions prevailing at the airfield where the aircraft is
located.
2. All this information is recorded by the aircraft technician and checked for
accuracy by the squadron engineer who also signs this document.
3. These record booklets al-,
