If it is not recorded, it is not done
Every maintenance task must be recorded. Engineers use maintenance manuals, task cards, technical logs and certificates of release to service.
Accurate records are a legal requirement and a key safety tool.

Why students choose Redwings
Why paperwork is part of airworthiness
In aviation, an aircraft is only airworthy if its records prove that every required task has been done correctly. That is why maintenance documentation is treated as seriously as the work itself.
Approved data
All work must follow approved data such as the aircraft maintenance manual, structural repair manual, illustrated parts catalogue, wiring diagrams and service bulletins. Engineers must use the current revision of these documents.
Task cards and work packages
Scheduled work is issued as task cards that describe each step, tools, parts and inspection points. Engineers sign each step as they complete it, and critical tasks may need an independent inspection.
Technical log
The technical log records defects reported by the crew and the action taken by engineers. It travels with the aircraft and is checked before every flight.
Release to service
After maintenance, an authorised engineer signs a certificate of release to service confirming that the work was done correctly and the aircraft is fit to fly. This signature carries legal responsibility.
