What must be done if any defect is found during a flight check?

When a defect is discovered during a flight check, it is essential to record it in the Technical Log. This documentation plays a crucial role in ensuring the airworthiness of the aircraft and maintaining a clear history of its condition. By logging defects, maintenance personnel can track recurring issues, perform necessary repairs, and comply with regulatory requirements set forth by aviation authorities.

Recording the defect ensures that any subsequent inspections or maintenance procedures can take the defect into account, allowing for appropriate actions to be taken. This safeguarding measure is vital for the safety of the flight and the passengers, as it contributes to the overall maintenance management of the aircraft.

Capturing the defect in the Technical Log also serves to inform other crew members and maintenance personnel about the status of the aircraft, ensuring they have all pertinent information for decision-making in future operations.
