I was appalled to discover this practice being adopted by a certain Charter operator. There existed two Tech Logs
One onboard the aircraft which usually had only minor snags entered and another in the form of an A4 notepad in their Engineering reps bottom drawer which was a much more accurate representation of the true technical state of the aircraft. It kind of makes you sick when the local management comment on how the Canadians had such a great technical despatch reliability compared to our own aircraft of the same type.
