Aircraft maintenance records are of utmost importance in the commercial airline industry and if hired for this position, you will be tasked with being as meticulous as possible in the record keeping of the work that you perform. In the eyes of the FAA, any work that is performed on an aircraft that cannot be totally documented and recalled will not be recognized by them. For this question, your interviewer will be looking to hear that you do have experience in documenting your work. More importantly, they'll be looking to hear that you understand why documentation is so important, and that you prioritize and value that aspect of the job.

"Since graduating and becoming an Aircraft Mechanic over the past seven years, firm documentation has been required on the job at all times. Whether I was working at a small regional airport or for a competitor, completion of maintenance logs was engrained in my work from the first day on the job. I fully understand the importance of this work, as it pertains to the safety of any person that boards the plane and to any future mechanics or maintenance techs that do work on the plane. Also, I have a firm grasp on the FAA regulations surrounding maintenance log books. If hired for this role, you can feel comfortable knowing that the documentation of my work would be a priority following any work that I perform."
