What QA looks for
When reviewing aircraft maintenance forms documentation, QA should verify:

1. Technical Order and Directive Compliance — Ensure all maintenance work complies with current Technical Orders, directives, and publications [AFMAN 21-200 para 7.3.3.1].

2. Documentation Completeness — Confirm maintenance documents are fully completed with required information and properly filed [AFMAN 21-200 para 7.3.3.2].

3. Evaluation and Inspection Records — Verify all minimum inspections and evaluations are identified, tracked, and documented in the maintenance record system [AFMAN 21-200 para 7.3.3.1].

4. Training Documentation — Confirm training for personnel performing, evaluating, supervising, or instructing maintenance tasks is documented [DAFI 21-101 para 11.25.12].

5. Annual Site Jacket File Review — Evaluate maintenance documentation and Site Jacket Files at least annually in coordination with Production Scheduling & Deployment [ACCI 21-1709 para 4.5.5].

6. Deficiency Tracking — Review Deficiency Reports (DRs), AFTO Form 22s, and related corrective action proposals [ACCI 21-1709 para 4.5.3].

7. Trending and Root Cause Analysis — Assess unit unsatisfactory ratings and related maintenance issues for trend analysis and documented root causes [DAFMAN 21-200 para 7.2.5.11.2.3 and 7.2.5.11.2.4].
