What is used for tracking of tool calibration?

• A. ACMS SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
• B. MCS STANDARD PRACTICES
• C. TOOL CALIBRATION LOG
• D. ENGINEERING CHANGE NOTICE

Answer: (A)

Tracking tool calibration is done with the Tool Calibration Log. This log records every calibration event, including when it was performed, when the next calibration is due, the instrument or tool used (including its serial or identification), the calibration results, and who performed it. Having all this information in one place ensures tools stay within required tolerances, provides traceability, and makes it easy to schedule recalibration before drift affects accuracy. It also supports audits and regulatory compliance by showing that calibration intervals were followed and tools were verified against standards. The other documents aren’t used for this purpose: ACMS Special Requirements pertain to data from the Aircraft Condition Monitoring System, not to maintaining a record of tool calibration; MCS Standard Practices cover general maintenance control system procedures; an Engineering Change Notice is used to document and implement changes to engineering designs or processes, not to track calibration status.
