Where is the log and cannibalization activity designated?

• A. CG-5181
• B. CG-5191
• C. CG-5081
• D. CG-5185

Answer: (A)

The act of logging what is removed and why a part is no longer installed is recorded in the official maintenance log, using the designated Coast Guard form for log and cannibalization actions. This form provides a formal, traceable record that ties the removal of components to the aircraft involved, including details like what was removed, why it was necessary (cannibalization), when it happened, and how the aircraft’s records are updated as a result. Keeping this information on the proper form ensures the aircraft’s history remains complete and auditable, which is essential for airworthiness. The other forms are used for different administrative tasks and do not carry the designated purpose of recording log and cannibalization actions, so they aren’t appropriate places to designate this activity.
