Electronic Logbook (Typical)
Overview
The Electronic Logbook (ELB) is a software application that replaces paper
maintenance/technical logbooks by allowing the pilot to record observed faults on
the airplane for the maintenance crew to review and take appropriate action. The
ELB provides the following functions:
• review open, deferred, and draft items
• review the previous fault history, flight log, and maintenance release
• record flight information such as Out, Off, On and In times
• record faults that occur during the flight
• review and sign the flight log
Launching the ELB
To start the ELB, select LOGBOOK on the EFB Main Menu page to display the
Logbook Home page.
The Logbook Home page displays the following at the top of the page:
• the flight number, origin and destination airports, and scheduled departure
date (this is the previous flight’s data until after a new flight log is created)
• the last maintenance release date, station where the release was signed, and
the release status of the airplane
• the status of the flight log (Closed, Inactive, or Active) is displayed above
the FLIGHT PREPARATION soft key
The Logbook Home page displays the autoland expiration date and the number of
hours since the last C-Check at the bottom of the page.
Note: Black arrows on soft keys indicate there is a sub-menu under that item.
Operation of the ELB
The ELB is very similar to other EFB applications, with most of the basic
operations being identical. The ELB application uses a diamond next to an item to
indicate that the item can be selected, and the VIEW MAINTENANCE
RELEASE and MAINTENANCE HOME soft keys are disabled when the
airplane is in flight.
The SHOW/HIDE MENU toggle soft key provides options to:
• PRINT a summary page (if a flight deck printer is configured)
• VOID (delete) a draft item
• AMEND (modify) a draft item
• return to the current (FLIGHT or MAINTENANCE) home page
