A SAAB-340B FLIGHT CREW ENTERED LOG REPORTS FOR #2 RH BLEED AIR LIGHT AND LEFT ENG OIL BYPASS LIGHT AS 'INFO TO MAINT.' LOG ITEMS SIGNED OFF AS 'INFO NOTED.'

Narrative

ON AUG/XA/07 TECHNICIAN #1 CAME INTO THE LEAD MECH'S OFFICE AND TOLD ME THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SIGNED OFF MAINT LOGBOOK ITEM #2 'R-HAND BLEED AIR LEAK CAME ON 2 TIMES WITHIN 3 MINS ON CLBOUT IN ZZZ' WITH 'INFO NOTED' IN THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BLOCK FOR ACFT X. AT THIS TIME MAINT HAD THE MAINT LOGBOOK FOR X WITH HIM. I THEN INFORMED MAINT THAT THIS ITEM WAS AN ACTUAL DISCREPANCY AND WE HAVE TO OPEN UP A WRITE-UP AND ADDRESS THIS DISCREPANCY AND HAVE IT REPAIRED. MY INTENTION WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS ACFT WOULD NOT LEAVE WITHOUT BEING REPAIRED AND IN AIRWORTHY CONDITION. I THEN WROTE 'REF ITEM #3 IN THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BLOCK OF MAINT LOGBOOK FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION' SO THIS R-HAND BLEED AIR LEAK COULD BE ADDRESSED. I THEN ASSIGNED TECHNICIANS TO TROUBLESHOOT AND REPAIR THE R-HAND BLEED AIR LEAK. I THEN OPENED A WRITE-UP IN THE DISCREPANCY BLOCK OF MAINT LOGBOOK ITEM #3 'REF ITEM #2 OF MAINT LOGBOOK.' 'INFO TO MAINT R-HAND BLEED LEAK CAME ON 2 TIMES ON CLBOUT IN ZZZ1.' I MADE A MISTAKE BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE WROTE IN THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BLOCK OF MAINT LOGBOOK. MY INTENTION WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT LATER FLT CREWS AND TECHNICIANS KNEW THAT WE DID ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THAT WE LATER DID REALIZE IT WAS A DISCREPANCY AND REPAIRED IT. AT THE TIME I WAS UNSURE OF THE EXACT PROC ON THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE. I ALSO HAD OTHER TURNOVERS AND GATE CALLS I HAD TO DISTRIBUTE TO OTHER MECHS. I HAD ALSO WRITTEN IN THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BLOCK ON MAINT LOGBOOK ITEM #1 'REF ITEM #4 MAINT LOGBOOK FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION.' DURING THIS INCIDENT TECHNICIAN X WAS STANDING NEXT TO ME IN THE LEAD MECH OFFICE. I HAD INFORMED HIM THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CREW WROTE INFO TO MAINT THAT THEY WERE BOTH DISCREPANCIES. THE REASON I WROTE IN ITEM #1 OF MAINT LOGBOOK WAS TO SHOW THAT WE DID WRITE IT UP AGAIN AND THAT BECAUSE THE CREW WROTE INFO TO MAINT ALSO WE WERE GOING TO BE SURE ALL ACTIONS WERE FOLLOWED PROPERLY AND REWORK IT. SO I THEN WROTE IN ITEM #4 OF MAINT LOGBOOK 'REF ITEM #1 MAINT LOGBOOK' INFO TO MAINT. AFTER ENG START; L OIL BYPASS ILLUMINATES FOR APPROX 1.5 MINS THE NEXT EXTINGUISHED.' THE REASON I OPENED IT UP WAS BECAUSE I FELT THAT BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT THAT WE SHOULD REWORK BOTH INFO TO MAINT ITEMS. WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON THE NEXT CREW WAS ASKING FOR THE LOGBOOK TO GO ON THEIR FLT. THEY WERE THEN INFORMED THAT THIS ACFT WAS NOT GOING TO BE GOING OUT UNTIL THE ACFT HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND IN AIRWORTHY CONDITION. TECHNICIAN #1 HAD TOLD ME THAT HIS LEAD MECH HAD TOLD HIM TO SIGN OFF INFO NOTED PREVIOUS TO THAT. I THEN TOLD HIM NEXT TIME TO BE MORE AWARE OF INFO TO MAINT WRITE-UPS. I DO NOW REALIZE EVEN THOUGH MAINT WAS RIGHT THERE WHEN I HAD WROTE IN THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BLOCKS THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE; DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ACFT HAD FLOWN 2 LEGS PREVIOUS. AT THE TIME I WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXACT PROC TO FOLLOW AND SHOULD HAVE CALLED INSPECTIONS FOR ASSISTANCE. ALL MY INTENTIONS WERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE 2 DISCREPANCIES WERE PROPERLY ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED. THE EVENT OCCURRED BY THE TECHNICIAN REALIZING THAT HE WAS UNSURE OF THE EXACT LOG RPT HE RECEIVED. ALSO; THE WAY THE CREW WROTE IT UP BY USING INFO TO MAINT. THIS EVENT ON AUG/XA/07 OCCURRED BECAUSE OF A WRITE-UP THAT WAS GIVEN BY THE FLT CREW THAT WAS ADDRESSED AS INFO TO MAINT AND THEN MAINT HAD THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BLOCK SIGNED 'MAINT INFO NOTED.' ALSO; I SHOULD NOT HAVE WRITTEN IN THE CORRECTIVE ACTION BLOCK REFING THE NEW LOG PAGES THAT THE DISCREPANCIES WERE BEING ADDRESSED ON. I NOW KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE JUST REFED THESE ITEMS ON THE NEW LOG PAGE IN THE DISCREPANCY BLOCK. I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH OTHER CALLS BEING GIVEN TO ME THAT I HAD TO DISTRIBUTE AND ALSO WAS NOT TOTALLY SURE ON HOW TO WRITE IN THE MAINT LOGBOOK. I WILL MAKE SURE THAT IF I AM UNSURE I WILL NOTIFY INSPECTIONS AND MGMNT AND ASK FOR THE PROPER PROC TO FOLLOW IN THIS SITUATION. I SUGGEST THAT WE INFORM THE CREW THAT TO MAKE SURE WHEN THERE IS AN ACTUAL DISCREPANCY TO NOT WRITE IT AS 'INFO TO MAINT.'
