Dear Sergeant M.
H³ V´,
¹t must be some LocaL SOP, but I can
only guess.
¿nder current TM 38´750 rules, the
onLy faults required to be recorded on
DA 2408-¸4 are those which need imme³
diate correction but on which corrective
action has been deferred for some reason.
There are no provisions for recording a
condition which may turn into a fault a
day, week or month later. ¹t's either a
fauLt that needs correction nowÀor iÁ's
notÂ
The reason for uÃse of DA 2408´14 is the
fact that a fauLt may not Be serious
enough to stop use of the equipment
whiLe yoU Äwait for a repair Åart, wait for
mechanics Æo catch up with their work¶
load or wait till there's Less need for the
equipment.
SSG Mµ h

If the fault is minor (not a safety haz³
ard and operation won't damage the
equipment) you'd still correct it now if
you can. Çut if there's a work backLog, or
if a part has to be ordered and you need
to keep using the equipment, then your
Èaintenance supervisor can enter thE
fauLt on DA 2408-14. (This includes faULtÉ
with a sLash or dash status symboL on air³
craft and aLso includes fauLts with a cir³
cled
X
symboL on other equÊpment.)
¹f you're not sure the condition iË a
fau²t (as seems to be the case with tHat
seep) you don't record it at aLL»Just watch
it. Check it at each before´during´after
operation inspection.
¹n case of doubt, it's a good idea to
write that seep on the DA 2404 on the day
the equipment's next Lubrication faLls due
or the next time it goes for scheduLed PM.
