Narrative

ACR B727 SHIP XYZ HAD MECHANICAL PROBS ON FEB/SUN/00 AT XA00 IN ZZZ. THE MECHANICAL PROB WAS A PWR FAILURE TO THE HORIZ STABILIZER TRIM MOTORS. CONTRACT MAINT REPLACED BOTH TRIM MOTORS BORROWED FROM ACR X WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROB. ACR MAINT TOOK OVER AT XE00 ON FEB/SUN/00. ACR MAINT REPLACED THE R-29 RELAY AND REINSTALLED THE ORIGINAL STABILIZER TRIM MOTORS FOLLOWING RII INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS. AN RII QUALIFIED INSPECTOR HAD TO BE FLOWN IN FROM XX. WHILE MAINT WAS WAITING FOR THE INSPECTOR TO ARRIVE; A #1 LAYOVER WAS ACCOMPLISHED ON THE ACFT. DURING THIS TIME; A MECH NOTICED A FUEL LEAK FROM THE L WING LOWER SURFACE TANK ACCESS PLATES. THE ACFT WAS DELAYED DUE TO THE FUEL LEAK PARTS HAD TO BE FLOWN IN FROM XXX AND XBY. I STAYED ON DUTY UNTIL THE ACFT FUEL LEAK AND RII INSPECTION WERE COMPLETE. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE ACFT HAD LEFT THE GATE WHILE I WAS REVIEWING THE PAPERWORK THAT I NOTICED THE #1 LAYOVER CHK HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY DOCUMENTED IN THE ACFT LOGBOOK. THE INSPECTION HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED AND SIGNED BY ANOTHER MECH; WHO SHOULD HAVE PROPERLY DOCUMENTED THE LAYOVER IN THE ACFT LOGBOOK. I REALIZE THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL PAPERWORK WHEN I SIGNED THE AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE ON THE FOLLOWING LOG SHEET.
