	To do any maintenance, the [http://~~ecfr~~.~~gpoaccess~~.gov/~~cgi~~/~~t/text~~/~~text-idx~~?~~c=ecfr&sid=687122739e072b94c661c119b25602d0&rgn=div8&view=text&node=14:1.0.1.3.20.0.363.10&idno=14~~ FARs require] that you have the manufacturer's current maintenance instructions. These would include the airframe maintenance manual, the illustrated parts catalog, and other service publications such as service bulletins, service letters, etc. However the airframe manufacturer didn't make all the parts that are on the plane. The engine manufacturer has their own set of manuals, as do many accessory manufacturers. Having the manual for the magneto or the brakes and wheels is just as important when working on those accessories as is having the engine or airframe manuals.

	That is a lot of manuals to locate, but fortunately, some suppliers are now offering their manuals on CD or even on the Internet. One such forward thinking company is [http://www.parker.com Parker-Hannifin], the makers of Cleveland Wheels and Brakes. They offer manuals in print, on CD, and on the web for their [[Media:AWBPC0001.pdf\|Parts Catalog]] (16MB PDF) and their [[Media:AWBCMM0001.pdf\|Maintenance Manual]] (16MB PDF). Note that the Cleveland manuals above are as retrieved in October 2009. It would be prudent to check with Cleveland for updates before considering these to be "Current Maintenance Instructions" as called out in FAR 43.13.

	The minimum requirements for logging work done on an aircraft or accessory is detailed in [http://~~ecfr~~.~~gpoaccess~~.gov/~~cgi~~/~~t/text~~/~~text-idx~~?~~c=ecfr&sid=687122739e072b94c661c119b25602d0&rgn=div8&view=text&node=14:1.0.1.3.20.0.363.6&idno=14~~ FAR 43.9]. A log entry must include a brief description of the work performed, the date the work was completed, the name of the person that performed the work -- if different than the one making the log entry, the name, certificate number and type of the person making the entry and of course the signature, which the FAA says constitutes the approval for return to service.

	The description of the work "should be in sufficient detail to permit a person unfamiliar with the work to understand what was done, and the methods and procedures used in doing it". A reference to standard methods, procedures and technical data may be made to keep from making each record too long if extensive work is performed.

	The FAA wants a log book for each "Class 1 Appliance". Class 1 Appliances are those components that have a Type Certificate, such as the Airframe, the Engine, and the Prop(s) or rotor system. In the past it was common to include the prop in the Airframe logs, but more recent thinking in Washington suggests we have a separate prop log. So if someone hasn't already purchased a prop log and begun tracking the prop separately, now would be a good time to obtain one and add it to your maintenance records at the next inspection.
