Which FAA form is used for a daily record to document facility operations?

• A. 3120-1
• B. 3120-25
• C. 7230-4
• D. 7250-5

Answer: (C)

Documenting daily operations focuses on capturing what happens in the facility during a shift so there’s a clear, up-to-date history of how systems performed, what issues occurred, and what actions were taken. A form designed specifically as the daily operations log provides the standard structure for this purpose. It guides you to record key details such as the date and shift, who was on duty, weather and lighting conditions, the status of critical systems (communications, automation, power), any faults or outages, actions taken to resolve problems, and any follow-up needed. This consistency makes handoffs between shifts smooth, supports quick reviews during investigations, and helps with regulatory and internal compliance. Other FAA forms serve different needs—like maintenance work orders, inspections, or incident reports—and aren’t tailored to capture the routine, day-to-day operation narrative, so they aren’t as effective for documenting facility operations on a daily basis.
