Narrative:

It has been brought to my attention that 2 aircraft did not receive CAT IIIA recertification after the documentation was compiled with. At the time of the occurrences, I do not believe the paperwork had an inspection buy-off block for the recertification, but the revised paperwork for does. These 2 aircraft have been recertified according to a system engineer.
