The capture of Technical Records at a Mid-Lease Inspection

The capture of Technical Records at a Mid-Lease Inspection is a very topical subject in the industry at the moment.

Since the very quick Airline return to service post the Covid pandemic it is very noticeable that Airline staff levels that supported this function, the retrieval of these records or granting electronic access to the owners/lessors is not yet back to where it needs to be.

This week we are highlighting some of the documents that maybe required by the owners at mid-lease inspection.

The consultant should record the issue date and date of expiry of the following;

– Latest Certificate of Airworthiness
– Latest Airworthiness Review Certificate
– Latest Aircraft Station License
