Re-drafting of Log Book Entries

[skymstr02]

You may not obliterate or alter another entry. Reference FAR 43.9, .11.

If the A&P did not perform or supervise the work being done, he has no entry to make.

Sorry but "atrocious" is not a reason to alter or explain an entry. If anything, insert a copy of the work order in the maintenance records, but technically if its not in the logs, it didn't happen.

Thanks for the response. However, it's the A&P who performed the work who is being asked, essentially, to clarify his unintelligible entry. I get that he can't obliterate or alter his own earlier entry, but can he make a second clarifying entry? BTW, there is no work order: the A&P knew of the squawk, diagnosed the problem, fixed it, and made the entry in question.

He can make the second entry, but do not obliterate the original. FWIW, if you make an erroneous entry in a log, the correct way is to draw a single line through the entry, then make an entry that it was entered in error and sign.
