Bill -

Good points.  I have a very detailed BUILDER'S LOG which describes when I
accomplished virtually everything.  (I have visions of some day saying
"Building wings took X hours, firewall forward took Y hours, I spent Z hours
sanding")

What I do not have in my BUILDER'S LOG is test plans, test conditions,
quantitative results.  I should rectify this.  Since I have not done any
tests other than landing gear tests, this is not really an issue.  For other
tests, such as fuel quantity and fuel transfer tests, perhaps I should write
this up as an appendix to the builders log, with the fact that the test was
done referenced in the chronological section ("performed fuel tank leak test
per Appendix 2" for example).  That way, I'll be able to remember what I did
(or my survivors will, I suppose...).

I had envisioned that the AIRCRAFT LOG might include compass swings, fuel
tank calibration, the first flight, test period complete, and then the
standard inspect-and-repair items that any aircraft log contains.  Sounds to
me like you and your AI agree with this approach.
