A B737 HAD A MAJOR STRUCTURAL REPAIR ACCOMPLISHED PER ENGINEERING AUTH. DURING A FINAL PAPERWORK REVIEW RPTR FINDS ALL WORK AND FINAL INSPECTION SIGNED OFF BY HIMSELF.

Narrative

WHILE INSPECTING AND BUYING OFF WORK STRUCTURAL REPAIR PERFORMED ON ACFT; THE MECH AND I USED MAINT PROGRAM TO CLOSE OUT MULTIPLE DISCREPANCIES THAT WERE COVERED UNDER 1 ENGINEERING AUTH THAT CALLED FOR THE COMPLETED REPAIR TO BE RE-INSPECTED AT INTERVALS (4000 INITIALLY -- 5000 RESPECTIVELY). AFTER COMPLETING THE ENTRIES IN MAINT PROGRAM AND THE DEFERRAL INFO (NONE OF WHICH HAS ANY MAINT PROCS MANUAL INSTRUCTIONAL INFO); THE TASK WAS SENT TO ME FOR QUALITY CHK 'BUYOFF.' AFTER REVIEWING THE DOCUMENTATION ON THE MAINT PROGRAM SCREEN; I 'FINAL INSPECTED' THE TASK. THE DATA PROCESSED AND MY COVER SHEET CAME INTO VIEW. I WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO SEE MY NAME IN BOTH THE 'REPAIRED BY' AND 'INSPECTED BY' BLOCKS. THIS IS A DIRECT VIOLATION OF FARS AND THE MAINT PROCS MANUAL. I WAS ASSURED BY THE COORDINATOR ON DUTY THAT THIS IS 'ONLY' A COVER SHEET; AND NOT OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION. I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING IN WRITING; EITHER IN THE MAINT PROCS MANUAL OR THE MAINT PROGRAM 'HELP' SCREENS; THAT INDICATES THIS PRINTABLE DOCUMENT IS NOT OFFICIAL. IF THIS IS TRUE; THEN SHOULD THE DOCUMENT NOT BE 'WATERMARKED' OR NOTED THAT IT IS FOR REF ONLY? I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS; ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE EXPANDING THE SYS TO 'C' CHK AND WE STILL DO NOT HAVE ANY MAINT PROCS MANUAL WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONAL PROCS FOR THE BASIC FORM TASKS. I HAVE BEEN ASSURED THESE DOCUMENTS; EVEN THOUGH THEY REFLECT ME DOING THE WORK AND INSPECTING IT; ARE NOT OFFICIAL -- BUT ONCE AGAIN; WHERE IS THIS WRITTEN? WHY DOES IT HAPPEN? AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE FIXED AND PROCS WRITTEN FOR THE USE OF MAINT PROGRAM.
