Please, when you sign a DI book, PRINT your name, then scribble your signature, initials, moniker, whatever.

Looking back through DI books today, there are many instances of the name being written as a signature. Without recognising the signature, it is difficult to know who to ask if there is a query.

We maintenance fixers sometimes need to ask for more detail and we can't do that if we don't know who wrote the note.

Thanks!

Hi Barry

If I DI a club a/c and find it serviceable I shall carefully print T. Rowland. If I find it unserviceable and it has to be grounded, I shall carefully print P. Clarke and then run away and deny all knowledge. Does that fall within acceptable parameters?

Ah, but now we know who P. Clarke really is!

Damn...a flaw in my cunning plan!

Could I also remind pilots signing the DI book that the first column is headed Day & Date.
I can never remember the date but can (mostly) remember what day it is. A few years ago I went to fly the K21 and checked it had been DI'd. There was a name and signature but only the date - that day's. Luckily I saw the pilot who had signed the book and said "I see you have DI'd the 21" to which he replied "No I haven't done it today, I DI'd it yesterday" - he had got the date wrong ! If there is only a date or only a day then you need to check a DI has been done.
