I think you are perhaps taking my words too literally.
If you don't write enough detail, that will sometimes happen
You are however talking about checking if an
AD has been carried out. I was talking about more general stuff like mag OH at 500hrs which didn't get written up in the logbook at the previous Annual (done by a different company). The first
must be recorded and if not you have to physically inspect and unless it has evidently been done you have to [re]-do it; the 2nd is a bit of a grey area - IMHO - and could be used as a money earning opportunity because there is not one plane flying whose logbooks are perfect. Not one plane landing at Heathrow right now has perfect logbooks. IF you can find the logbooks all the way back, which usually you can't.
