agreed, 411A. In fact I have just completed a major study (across multiple USmajors) on this subject, and one of the mechanics' biggest complaints is the "inop" write up from pilots. Completely useless in most cases. Maybe ok for a light bulb, a tray table, but not for any cockpit items or controls etc.
Mechanics long for ANY and all detail from pilots. THey commented that the more the better, and they will judge what pertains and what doesn't; they are happier to wade thru excess detail than none at all.
When we queried pilots on how much time they spent writing up a single squawk in the log, 80% marked "4 minutes or less"..........and I'm betting on the "less"
