What is the primary maintenance recording responsibility when complying with an airworthiness directive?

The primary maintenance recording responsibility when complying with an airworthiness directive is to make an entry in the maintenance record of the affected equipment. This documentation serves as a crucial record of compliance for that specific directive. It ensures that all required actions have been performed, and it details what was done, when it was done, and by whom.

Maintaining accurate records is vital for tracking the history of maintenance on an aircraft, which supports its airworthiness status and safety. This entry also provides validation during inspections by regulatory authorities, ensuring that all directives have been followed and that the aircraft remains in compliance with safety regulations.
