When I bought my 172 the 35+ years of 'Maintenance Records' was in a state of despair. Everything was shoved into some canvas satchel type thing with no filing or organization discipline applied. I spent a good 6 hours or so sorting through the madness and organizing 4" binder separated by specific tabs and what not.
I figured since I actually have an Engine book for my project I might as well go ahead and put together a binder for it. There are some obvious sections I have for my 172 (STC, ADs, 8130's, ect..) that I don't necessarily need for an EAB. Here's what I'm thinking of having and wanted to see if I'm missing anything.
1 - Aircraft Information (Special Airworthiness Certification, Registration, Operating Limits and Weight and Balance)
2 - Service Bulletins (All the Vans stuff, anything else that comes out on prop, engine, ect.)
3 - Airframe Logbook (Besides each book I'll have a pocket for receipts or other paperwork.)
4 - Engine Logbook
5 - Propeller Logbook
6 - Avionics Logbook (Came in the set I bought, I guess with all the avionics in the plane it might as well have it's own logbook.)
7 - Operators Handbook (Might do up a POH, or have a checklist
Besides these Maintenance Records I will maintain all the plans and specifics to the build.
Thoughts?
