I think most maintenance is done by looking at the aircraft, looking methodically at every functional component of the aircraft and fixing what is deficient.
once that is done the pens retire to the office, drag out the paperwork and then go through the items one by one.
done that, sign.
not relevant, cross out and initial.
done that, sign.
etc.
that to me is why flavour of the maintenance paperwork is almost irrelevant.
the aeroplane itself is the actual checklist used.
I have never seen a LAME, even the super diligent ones, ever use the paperwork as the work is being done. the aeroplane in front of them is the checklist, not the paperwork. how else do you keep the grease and oily fingerprints off the paperwork?
CAsA can crap on about this as much as they like because it is irrelevant really.
....although there is a chap here in the west that recently pissed off a CAsA audit enough that he has been declared a not fit and proper person over some paperwork indiscretion and has lost LAME licence, Pilot's Licence and employment. (no aeroplanes were damaged in bring you this message)
