Enquiries regarding the content of this publication should be addressed to:
Personnel Licensing Department, Safety Regulation Group, Civil Aviation Authority, Aviation House, Gatwick Airport South, West
Sussex, RH6 0YR.
This logbook has been developed by the UK Civil Aviation Authority in its current format as the preferred means of recording aircraft
practical maintenance training and experience in order to support an application to the authority for the issue or variation of an Aircraft
LE
Maintenance Licence.
The format and layout of the logbook is designed to enable a methodical and progressive recording of personal data and ongoing work
experience by the user, thereby enabling a quicker and more accurate assessment of the user’s technical knowledge and experience
by a regulatory authority, employer or assessor.
The logbook has been produced in loose-leaf form so that additional pages may be inserted selectively as and when required, in order
to accommodate progressive recording of ongoing work experience, and to enable removal of pages containing information, which
may be considered redundant or surplus to the user’s current needs.
Used correctly, this logbook should serve as a compact and portable reference document, which would hold a concise history of the
P
holder’s training, experience, qualification and employment record, together with a facility to record any ongoing work experience as
may be required for the purpose of applying to the authority for the issue or variation of an Aircraft Maintenance Licence.
The design and content of this logbook have been derived from current regulatory requirements. However, please note that
completion of this logbook does not preclude the need to produce original documents, such as employment testimonials, training
certificates or certified true copies of the same, where these may be required.

It is important to note that engineers may not certify their own entries. However, certain pages require the name and signature
of the logbook holder. This is primarily for traceability and identification purposes, particularly when logbook pages are separated
from the logbook and used in isolation.
The Assessor
(Section 2.1 – Basic Skills)
A
The Assessor may be any one of the following:
a) An appropriately qualified Part-147 training instructor or person appropriately qualified and authorised by the organisation
under the terms of its approval to carry out the assessment.
S
b) An appropriately qualified licensed aircraft maintenance engineer employed by a Part-145 maintenance organisation and
authorised by the Part 147 approval organisation.
c) An appropriately qualified licensed aircraft maintenance engineer employed by a Part-M Subpart F organisation and authorised
by the Part 147 approval organisation.
LE
d) A person authorised for the purpose by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
The assessor shall also ensure that the logbook holder is able to:
1) identify the appropriate standards; and
2) select and use the correct tools for the task/process.
When confirming entries, assessors shall sign and print their names, and also quote their position within the organisation on
behalf of which the assessment has been carried out.

to conduct practical training or OJT (on the job training).
b) An appropriately qualified licensed aircraft maintenance engineer employed by a Part-145 maintenance organisation
and authorised to conduct OJT.
c) An appropriately qualified licensed aircraft maintenance engineer employed by a Part-M Subpart F organisation and
authorised to conduct OJT.

2 Provision for recording personal training.
P
Section 2.1 Basic Skills
This section is to record the achievement of practical competencies required to support the issue of a basic licence in the appropriate
category. The skills identified in this section relate directly to corresponding licence privileges. The required training and assessment
may be carried out on in-service aircraft, in workshops, on training equipment or on simulators. Each entry must be confirmed by an
M
assessor, with his/her signature, position and organisation details, to indicate that the logbook holder has achieved the required
competence on the subject. A specific task should only be entered once. There is no requirement to make multiple entries for the
same or similar tasks.
LE
The type and number of tasks undertaken must be representative of the aircraft structure and systems, both in terms of technology
and complexity. While relatively simple tasks may be included, other more complex tasks appropriate to the privilieges of the licence
applied for should also be undertaken and recorded.
