AN AIRBUS 320 WAS DISPATCHED IN NON COMPLIANCE WITH THE ENG COWLING LATCH MODIFICATION ACCOMPLISHED BUT NOT INSPECTED.

Narrative

AT START OF SHIFT; CHANGE ORDER AUTH JOB CARDS DID NOT EXIST IN COMPUTER OR ON MICROFICHE. CONTACTED MAINT FOR CHANGE ORDER AUTH PAPERWORK AT XC30; WAS TOLD MAINT WOULD WORK ON IT. AT XD00 LEAD MECH TOLD ME; STILL NO PAPERWORK; WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THE CHANGE ORDER AUTH. AT XV00 MY CO-WORKER ARRIVED AT ACFT WITH PAPERWORK. CHANGE ORDER AUTH KITS WERE ORDERED BY LEAD MECH. CO-WORKER AND I WENT RIGHT TO WORK READING THE TEXT OF THE CHANGE ORDER AUTH JOB CARDS AND REFING THE ILLUSTRATIONS BUT FAILED TO UTILIZE THE TOD DOCUMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CHANGE ORDER AUTH PAPERWORK. THE TEXT AT STEP 'G' SAID INSPECT LATCHES FOR SECURITY BUT DID NOT MENTION THAT ITEM 'G' WAS A REQUIRED INSPECTION ITEM. FOR THIS REASON THE CHANGE ORDER AUTH WAS COMPLETED JUL/FRI/99; WITHOUT REQUIRED INSPECTION ITEM INSPECTION OR A COMPLETED TOD DOCUMENT. ON JUL/FRI/99; AT XY00; A UNION STEWARD MENTIONED AT BRIEFING THAT ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL FAILED TO HAVE AN INSPECTOR PERFORM REQUIRED INSPECTION ITEM INSPECTION ON THE SAME CHANGE ORDER AUTH BUT ON ANOTHER ACFT. I IMMEDIATELY COORDINATED WITH MAINT TO LOCATE MY SPECIFIC ACFT AND HAVE AN INSPECTOR PERFORM THE REQUIRED REQUIRED INSPECTION ITEM INSPECTION.
