Which form is used for maintenance discrepancy documentation?

• A. AFTO form 781A
• B. DA Form 2404
• C. FAA Form 337
• D. SF 91

Answer: (A)

Maintenance discrepancy documentation is handled with AFTO Form 781A, the Maintenance Discrepancy Record. This form is designed specifically to capture the fault found, the maintenance action taken or planned, parts used, and who performed the work, including date and time. It creates a clear, traceable history from when the discrepancy is discovered through to resolution, helping ensure safety, compliance, and proper planning for future maintenance. The other forms serve different contexts: DA Form 2404 is for Army equipment maintenance, FAA Form 337 documents civilian aircraft alterations or major repairs, and SF 91 is used for vehicle accident reporting.
