Summary:According to Title 14 CFR Part 91.417, for a maintenance record to be a binding document in support of the airworthiness of the aircraft, it must contain the following: * A description of the work performed * The date of completion of the work performed * The signature and certificate number of the person approving the aircraft for return to service. Most FAA inspectors and Flight Standards District Offices (FSDOs) in general have repeatably been advised by FAA legal that there is precedent in the U.S. court system that only original copies of CFR Part 43 documentation have been consistently accepted in a court of law. When aviation regulation guidelines were established decades ago, a copy was obvious. Since there were no copy machines, no personal computers, no high-quality multi-color printers and no digital imagery, copies were only made by one method: copy paper.
