With my condition inspection almost completed, I'm down to the most confusing part. The log book entries.
Here's the deal. I took this opportunity to address the nose gear bolt issue by replacing said bolt with a taper pin. Doing so necessitated the removal of the prop, engine, and engine mount from the airframe so that the hole could be drilled and reamed accurately. Everything was then put back together again at which point the FWF portion of the inspection was done, engine run-up and leak checked, and so on.
I'm not quite sure how to document this in the log. One way would be to simply log something like "Replace AN5 bolt on holding nose gear strut to engine mount" and the opposite extreme would be to detail the whole process. I'm leaning more towards the first end of the spectrum, but am interested in others thoughts.
What do you think?
