I can see placarding until it makes it to a mx base, but writing something up and baancing the entry for something that may go 120 days before getting a mx look-see sounds a bit much...

so, who else is balancing out their own write-ups?
I have never heard of the term "balancing". I guess it is the same as a flight crew placard. Obviously something that is serious would not have an option for a flight crew placard. Most flight crew placards are simple things like a light bulb.
