Narrative:

I was the first officer on flight on jun/mon/93 ord to swf. We flew medium large transport into swf, landing at XX06L. Both the crew and aircraft rendezvoused with a scheduled departure at AM31 on jun/wed/93. We arrived at swf, preflted and departed as other flight back to ord as scheduled. Upon landing at ord, we determined that the aircraft logbook was not on board and that it had been left at swf. The required calls were made to maintenance and a temporary logbook was provided. The fault lies with myself and the captain for not ensuring that the logbook was onboard. However, the place for the logbook is in the aircraft, not stashed away somewhere in operations. Part of our lax attitude was fostered by flying the same aircraft in and out of swf. Since we knew the aircraft history from previous reviews, that 'need' was diminished.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACR MLG OPERATED OUT OF STATION WITHOUT ACFT LOGBOOK BEING ON BOARD.

Narrative: I WAS THE FO ON FLT ON JUN/MON/93 ORD TO SWF. WE FLEW MLG INTO SWF, LNDG AT XX06L. BOTH THE CREW AND ACFT RENDEZVOUSED WITH A SCHEDULED DEP AT AM31 ON JUN/WED/93. WE ARRIVED AT SWF, PREFLTED AND DEPARTED AS OTHER FLT BACK TO ORD AS SCHEDULED. UPON LNDG AT ORD, WE DETERMINED THAT THE ACFT LOGBOOK WAS NOT ON BOARD AND THAT IT HAD BEEN LEFT AT SWF. THE REQUIRED CALLS WERE MADE TO MAINT AND A TEMPORARY LOGBOOK WAS PROVIDED. THE FAULT LIES WITH MYSELF AND THE CAPT FOR NOT ENSURING THAT THE LOGBOOK WAS ONBOARD. HOWEVER, THE PLACE FOR THE LOGBOOK IS IN THE ACFT, NOT STASHED AWAY SOMEWHERE IN OPS. PART OF OUR LAX ATTITUDE WAS FOSTERED BY FLYING THE SAME ACFT IN AND OUT OF SWF. SINCE WE KNEW THE ACFT HISTORY FROM PREVIOUS REVIEWS, THAT 'NEED' WAS DIMINISHED.
