If the logbook is missing, which entity issues a new logbook?

• A. Maintenance
• B. Operations
• C. Flight Desk
• D. Ground Services

Answer: (A)

The replacement logbook is issued by the maintenance organization. The aircraft’s logbook is the official record of airworthiness and maintenance history, and it is maintained and updated by Maintenance (often via maintenance control). When the logbook is missing, Maintenance takes responsibility for issuing a new logbook and then ensuring all prior maintenance history is captured or appropriately transferred. Operations, Flight Desk, and Ground Services rely on the logbook for flight operations and service but do not issue or replace official airworthiness records.
