a) Maintenance record entries. Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, each person who maintains, performs preventive maintenance, rebuilds, or alters an aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, appliance, or component part shall make an entry in the maintenance record of that equipment containing the following information:
(1) A description (or reference to data acceptable to the Administrator) of work performed
Taken from FAR 43,it would seem none of us are right as the data must be acceptable to the administrator it also appears to me that it would be a massive grey area.
Blacksheep please provide references if you are to say theres a lot of duff gen here without refs who is to say you are not providing it yourself!,this is a very complex subject and I have also been doing it as many years as you so lets get definate answers between us and learn.
Best regards
