What should be completed manually when the automated system to document maintenance data is unavailable?

The AFTO Form 349 is specifically designed for documenting maintenance data, particularly for aircraft and aerospace ground equipment. When the automated system for recording such maintenance records is inaccessible, using the AFTO Form 349 manually ensures that accurate and official maintenance records are maintained. This form provides a structured way to track maintenance actions, discrepancies, modifications, and inspections that have been carried out on the equipment.

While the other forms play significant roles in the maintenance documentation process, they serve different purposes. For instance, the AFTO Form 244 is utilized for tracking equipment condition and status, the AFTO Form 780 is a servicing checklist for maintenance actions, and the AFTO Form 781 pertains to the status of equipment and its historical maintenance. Thus, when needing to manually document maintenance data specifically, the AFTO Form 349 is the appropriate choice.
