LIDS Retired from Delta Aircraft As communicated via EFCB earlier this year, TechOps began the process of removing the Log Item Deferral Summary (LIDS) from the logbook of "red" aircraft. This process is now complete for all aircraft except the former Hawaiian Airlines (HAL) A330s. Effective July 17th, Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) were no longer required to insert the LIDS in the logbooks (with the HAL exception noted above), and there will be no reference to LIDS when clearing a logbook deferral. The LIDS process has been replaced by the Aircraft Discrepancy Report and Cabin Discrepancy Report, which are incorporated into the flight plan paperwork.
Are we going Hawaiian?
Here is my understanding. LIDS was the way PMNW logged MCO's. PMDL used the white and yellow MCO stickers in the front of the logbook. Back in olden times it was determined to go with the PMDL way of logging MCO's. That has now come to fruition except for the aforementioned HAL 330's that were acquired in the aforementioned olden times!
