Chapter 4 § Operational Control System
Unserviceable aircraft on the ramp not disassembled to a point where it is obvious the aircraft is unserviceable
shall be marked in such a way that it cannot be inadvertently started and/or flown. A placard of sufficient size,
where it cannot be missed, that states, or has wording similar to “This aircraft is Unserviceable or AOG” shall be

the hangar the Journey Log Book will be placed in the office of the PRM.
