Validate a tech log

  1. Find the tech log that you need to validate. Generally, this will be the earliest unvalidated tech log of the corresponding aircraft

  2. Review that all fields have the correct value according to the paper tech log

    1. To correct the values of any incorrect fields, click the Edit button at the top of the page or double click the field you would like to change

  3. Double-click on the value of the Tech Log Status field (which should be 'New') and select 'Validated by Camo' from the drop-down (screenshot 4)

  4. Click Save

  5. Keep in mind that validated Tech Logs can not be edited - make sure everything is correct before validating
