which the aircraft is assigned. The maintenance
department’s maintenance material control officer
(MMCO) is responsible for maintaining all aircraft
logbooks and associated records. Normally, the
MMCO sets up a section or branch in maintenance
control to maintain aircraft logbooks and other records.
This section is referred to as the logs and records work
center. The logs and records work center of small
stations, squadrons, or detachments may be manned by
only one AZ, while larger activities may require several
AZs to handle a larger record-keeping workload. If the
logbooks contain classified information, the logbooks
are safeguarded in accordance with applicable security
regulations.
Q4. In an organizational-level maintenance activity,
what officer oversees upkeep of aircraft logbooks
and associated records?
TRANSFER
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the
documents to accompany aircraft logbooks
upon aircraft transfer.
When aircraft are transferred between activities,
the logbooks and records are transferred with the
aircraft. Logbooks must then be brought up-to-date and
closed-out by the transferring activity before the
records are turned over to the receiving activity. When
ferry flights are involved in the transfer, the records are
transferred to the physical custody of the ferry pilot of
the aircraft. The ferry pilot is responsible for providing
ferry flight time to the receiving activity. Upon
completion of the ferry flight, the ferry pilot turns the
records over to the receiving activity.
Usually, logs and records personnel assemble all
records into a transfer package for aircraft transfer and
delivery to the receiving activity. Administrative
records transferred with an aircraft should include
some form of each of the following records:
Aircraft logbook with the applicable
Aeronautical Equipment Service Records
(AESRs)
Assembly Service Records (ASRs)
Equipment History Records (EHRs)
Scheduled Removal Component (SRC)
cards
Q5.
Modular Service Records (MSRs)
NOTE: The AESR is an insert to the basic aircraft
logbook. The AESR is a service record for various
aircraft equipment such as power plants and propellers.
The MSR is used for modular engines. The MSR
provides a system to record maintenance data on
interchangeable modules installed on modular engines
and the life-limited components and assemblies
installed within them.
Aircraft inventory record
Weight and balance records
Current contents of the aircraft discrepancy
book (ADB)
Inspection, TD compliance, and aircraft
general files (or electronic files)
Updated TD requirements lists Nos. 02 and

or one complete phase cycle, whichever is
greater

and aircrew systems records for installed
equipment
