Priorto flight verify the Aircraft Discrepancy Log is onboard aircraft. 2. If it is not onboard, place it onboard or replace it if it cannot be found 3. If it was replaced, notify the Director of Maintenance and determine aircraft status. 4. When you leave aircraft verify it remains onboard. As part of his or her preflight duties, the assigned Pilot-in-Command (PIC) will review the Aircraft Discrepancy Log located within the aircraft to determine whether any write-ups have been deferred in accordance with the approved minimum equipment list, or corrected and the aircraft properly returned to service by qualified personnel. In the event the PIC finds a mechanical irregularity that has not been either corrected or properly deferred, or is past its deferral limit, the PIC will not takeoff. The PIC will contact the Director of Maintenance or his designee for instructions. The
