Andy,
You've missed the point of aircraft paperwork completely...
It isnt about "forgetting" to put the cowl back on later but about someone certifying that it has been fitted and that it has been done properly.
No i have not missed the point of paperwork completely because the CAA man stated that if i was off ill someone may forget to refit the engine cowls hence the entry in the workpack. Our workpack has a section to sign asking if all panels have been refitted so that the engineer who is certifying the aircraft for release has seen that everthing has been refiitted.
If we do start doing a seperate worksheet for the removel and refitting of engine cowls we would then also do it with an I.A.W as we do with every other task.
