What are the various logbooks?

Hi guys,

I have been searching around the internet, but only found a confusing amount of contradictory information...

Can someone pelase explain what the various logbooks are (and tell me if I have the general idea wrong) on a commercial aircraft.

- Aircraft Logbook : General log of every flight.
- Engine Logbook : Log of engine (hours / faults etc)?
- Aircraft Technical Logbook : How does this differ from the A/C Logbook? Are faults not recorded in the A/C Logbook?
- Maintenance Logbook : Record of maintenance on the A/C? Is this not recorded with the faults in the other logbooks?

Are there any others?

Is the idea of a "logbook" somewhat misleading? Rather than a ledger of each flight, are there several pages of info for each flight/sector?

Many thanks!

Martin
