Creating a log entry

If you have photos or a PDF of an existing paper log entry, the import process is the easiest way to create a log entry. You can upload the files or email them in. For entries that do not have source documents, you can create them manually.

To create a log entry manually, navigate to the component you want to add the entry to and choose to add an entry. The form will be presented with the current date populated. You need Read and Write access to create an entry.

Fields

• Completion date — the date the work was completed; required, and must not be in the future
• Total time — the component’s total time when the work was completed
• Time since major overhaul — the component’s time since its most recent major overhaul; enable this field if the entry records a major overhaul or if you track time since major overhaul for this component (not available on Airframe components)
• Work performed — a description of the work being logged
• Signed by — the name of the certified individual or organization that signed the entry
• Certificate type — the type of certificate held by the signatory (Repair Station, A&P/IA, or Pilot/Owner)
• Certificate number — the identifier for the signatory’s certificate
• Tags — see log entry tags

Saving incomplete entries

A completion date is required to save a log entry. All other fields are optional — if you do not have complete information, you can save the entry and return to finish it later.
