Aircraft Maintenance Missing Tool Report

Each engine may require specialized tools that are difficult to come by or highly specific. In order to maintain flight safety standards and minimize risk to those on the aircraft, tool control accountability will be an important part of the service program. From time to time, this equipment may go missing - it could be misplaced, borrowed and not returned, stolen or carried off from the facility. When this happens, the mechanic or aircraft service personnel will need to complete paperwork to ensure compliance with aviation safety requirements. The Aircraft Maintenance Missing Tool Report should be used by a technician or mechanic when they have lost a tool used for aviation maintenance. It will document what was lost and when it occurred, employees involved in the search and how it was resolved - if the equipment was found or not. This can be helpful in tracking equipment, as well as ensuring that personnel have the right tools to complete their jobs.
