It's certainly not a memory item, ours used to be the same as above, bleed and DMC's that is, but it has now changed based upon different MSN's various SB's, mods, etc. Simply put, you have to refer to the DDG/MEL overtime.

We don't have a specific requirement to make note of it in the tech log at the end of flight unless of course there is a message on ECAM.

Speedwinner,

Perhaps the question you're asking can be answered by noting the purpose of the maintenance status page. In short it was designed to provide data for the engineers that was not relevant during the flight in which the fault was detected, that is, it will not affect the pilots for this flight, however they'll be notified after landing that they need the engineers to come and look at something prior to another dispatch.

Nowadays of course, with the advent of low cost carriers, it cannot be assumed that there will be an engineer to notify if (m) action is indeed required. That probably wasn't considered when the aircraft was designed however as there was no such thing as a low cost carrier, engineers were abound, pilots got paid moorland it's possible the world was just a better place ;-) how things have changed.
