Title:
Checkride Prep - A Walkthrough of Aircraft Maintenance Logbooks
Topic:
Join CFI Stephen Heesacker and Fleet Manager Maryam Mortezazadeh to learn about aircraft logbooks
Speaker(s):
Stephen Heesacker, Maryam Mortezazadeh
Brief Description:
Aircraft records are significant for safety and legal reasons. Maintenance and inspection are meticulously recorded in the aircraft logbook. Pilots need to understand the details of aircraft logbook entries to validate the airworthiness of the airplane.
A checkride is one instance where the pilot-in-command needs to know every page of an aircraft logbook. When was the last 100 hour inspection and annual inspection? Are all the airworthiness directives complied with? Pilots need to be able to read and interpret logbook entries to confirm required inspections have been completed.
In this seminar, San Carlos Flight Center CFI Stephen Heesacker and Fleet Manager Maryam Mortezazadeh will decipher the logbook entries and highlight what you need to pay attention to as a PIC. This seminar is especially relevant If you are preparing for your checkride and need to understand airplane logbooks but also useful if you just want to learn about the record-keeping process.
