Annual Inspection Paperwork

[Kevin Eggert]

Quick question...

Is there any paperwork filed with the FAA (or anywhere else) to record the annual inspection of an aircraft? I'm just curious if the log books of the aircraft are the only place other than maybe a copy kept by the A&P mechanic where this record exists.

Nothing is sent to the FAA. Records are pretty much exclusively in the logbooks, some A&Ps who use printed stickers will keep digital copies of those. And repair stations have their own different record keeping rules.

Keeping your log books safe is the key.

As mentioned, no. The only entries are usually in the maintenance record of the aircraft. Is there something specific you're looking for?
