Saving up the snags

Below is an extract from the UK ANO Article 15 - as appropriate to your question of "where is it laid down"
`
I sugest that before you take umbridge at other posters on this topic that actually know what they are talking about, you make sure you attempt to learn the rules by which the UK aviation industry operate to.
`
I take it by your previous comments that you are one of the Prima Donnas that occupy the front of the aircraft when it flies - if so, enough said!

Article 15 of the ANO
`
(4) Subject to paragraph (5), at the end of every flight by an aircraft to which this article applies the commander shall enter in the technical log or the approved record as the case may be:
(a) the times when the aircraft took off and landed;
(b) particulars of any defect which is known to him and which affects the airworthiness or safe operation of the aircraft, or if no such defect is known to him, an entry to that effect; and (c) such other particulars in respect of the airworthiness or operation of the aircraft as the CAA may require;
and he shall sign and date the entries.
(5) In the case of two or more consecutive flights each of which begins and ends:
(a) within the same period of 24 hours;
(b) at the same aerodrome, except where each such flight is for the purpose of dropping or projecting any material for agricultural, public health or similar purposes; and
(c) with the same person as commander of the aircraft;
the commander may, except where he becomes aware of a defect during an earlier flight, make the entries specified in paragraph (4) at the end of the last of such consecutive flights.
