lost tech log
hello
i have owned cessna 152 for 4 years now but havent flown it for a year. I cant find the aircraft tech logbook
and wonder if this is going to cause problems with CAA or if I want to sell it? I dont plan to sell for at least a year.
Am I right in saying that you have to keep all the logs up to two years?
Many thanks
richard

Are you talking the techlog or the Aircraft Logbooks? without the LOGBOOKS it would be just about unsellable.
Are they with your maintainance organisation, they often hold onto them.

Loosing the logbooks is not such a big problem. I recently returned an aircraft to the register after the logbooks were lost, granted the engine & propeller were zero timed so that was easy. I had records to show the airframe hours & recertified the AD's.
The CAA require a statement from the owner to say the logbooks are lost (no need to give a reason).
The key is the detail kept by your maintenance organisation & the logbooks of the people who have flown it since the last check.
