An old lead on my crew told me my logbook entries were 'a joke to the next guy' and I've never written one the same way since
About two years ago I was doing a gear swing on a King Air 200 out at a small field outside Tulsa and my lead, a guy named Dale with almost 40 years in, grabbed my paperwork off the bench and just stared at it. He said, and I remember this clear, 'this is a joke to the next guy.' I had written stuff like 'checked gear, looks good' with no pressures, no part numbers, no torque values, nada. I was mad at first, I mean I did the work, right? But he walked me through it. If the next shift pulls that plane and finds a leak or a chafed line, they have zero clue what I touched or what numbers I saw. So now for every task I write the actual readings, the serials, the torque, and I sign it with my stamp number. It takes me maybe 10 extra minutes a shift but I have had two guys this year tell me my write-ups saved them an hour of digging. How much detail do you all put in your log entries, or am I overdoing it now?
