What is the purpose of the DA Form 2408-15 in aircraft maintenance records?

• A. To serve as the historical record of the aircraft
• B. To log fuel consumption
• C. To schedule maintenance windows
• D. To request new parts

Answer: (A)

This form is used to maintain a complete, chronological history of maintenance actions on the aircraft. It captures what discrepancies were found, what maintenance or repairs were performed, dates and times, parts removed or installed, any inspections or service bulletins applied, and who carried out the work. Keeping this history in one official record allows operators and maintainers to assess airworthiness, plan future maintenance, spot recurring issues, and provide traceability during audits or inspections. It isn’t used for logging fuel consumption, scheduling maintenance windows, or requesting new parts—those tasks are handled by other records or systems.
