Who is responsible for reviewing paper logbook forms and how often must the review occur?

• A. Engineering officer, Daily
• B. Flight operations supervisor, Weekly
• C. Maintenance supervisor, Monthly
• D. Quality assurance inspector, Quarterly

Answer: (A)

The reason this is the right choice is that the maintenance logbook is a live, ongoing record of what has been done to the aircraft and what remains outstanding. The engineering officer is responsible for the technical condition and readiness of the aircraft, so it makes sense that they review the paper logbook forms daily to confirm that every maintenance action, test result, discrepancy, and sign-off is properly documented, that times and identifiers are correct, and that any deferred items are tracked. Doing this daily keeps the log truthful and up-to-date, which is essential for safety and for accurate status before any flight or further maintenance.

Other roles aren’t typically tasked with this daily logbook verification. A flight operations supervisor focuses more on scheduling and operations rather than the detailed maintenance records, a monthly review would allow issues to go unchecked too long, and a quality assurance inspector generally performs audits rather than the day-to-day check that keeps the logs current.
