This is the table in PC where we keep all the logbooks (record of the maintenance status of the aircraft, plus much more). All the work done on the aircraft is recorded on these computers so it is the first thing we check to determine the status of the aircraft. We are required to always fly with the logbook on board so we added all the maintenance manuals to the computers. It has helped us on many occasions when we find ourselves with a broken aircraft away from home. For some reason Steve designed the table as a stop sign with the Arabic work for stop on it. It is an octagon so each aircraft had an edge but as you can see now we are down to only seven.

Most businesses also keep a paper trail. (At least so far as the customer is concerned) Do you too? Maybe not you personally but someone, somewhere? In case of computer crash? I am impressed by the table. (:
We still keep a paper copy of the historical records on each aircraft. That is a listing of all major components (and subcomponents like bearings and gears) by serial number and all modifications or upgrades done to the aircraft. This is used to track components, so for example if a certain company is found to be making parts that don't reach their expected use limits then all those parts can be pulled from the fleet. They are also used when there is a mechanical failure so other components of the same type can be checked. They have traced bad components back to a single shift at a certain plant that were not made correctly so they only had to pull the serial numbers that shift produced and not all of them from the fleet. The computers we use on a daily basis are backed up every day on three different servers so if a computer dies the most we would lose is a day of work. Two of the servers are here and one back in the states.
