Normally this should be done by the unit Aircraft Maintenance Officer: a) for any ORWG aircraft parked on your ramp on the first of the month, collect the log pages for the previous month from the aircraft book, reconcile any discrepancies in reported Hobbes and tach time, scan the pages in a single file, and to the LMG, Quinn Stutheit (quinns384@msn.com ) and the DO (rireson@comcast.net) b) for the same aircraft, perform a complete F73 aircraft inspection, scan the form and to the LMG (quinns384@msn.com). If there are any significant discrepancies with the aircraft, call those to the attention of Lt. Stutheit. 5. N4934N will be sold. Aircraft moved to KVUO for preparation.
