Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
Overview
The Lycoming SSP-1872-1 is the genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) engine logbook, the official and essential document for recording the complete operational and maintenance history of any Lycoming aircraft engine. This is not a generic notebook; it is a purpose-designed, flight-critical record that serves as the primary legal document for an engine's status and airworthiness. It contains specifically formatted sections for recording all maintenance, inspections, repairs, and alterations, ensuring that the engine's history is documented in a clear, standardized, and compliant manner.
Key Features
Official Legal Document: The engine logbook is a legal record required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under 14 CFR § 91.417. It provides the definitive history and current airworthiness status of the engine.
Structured & Organized Format: Features pre-printed columns and sections specifically designed for aviation maintenance entries. This includes dedicated areas for the date, tachometer/Hobbs time, a description of the work performed, the signature and certificate number of the mechanic, and more.
Airworthiness Directive (AD) & Service Bulletin (SB) Tracking: Contains sections for meticulously tracking compliance with mandatory Airworthiness Directives and recommended Service Bulletins. This is a critical component of ensuring the engine is legally airworthy.
Component History: Provides the space to record the installation and removal of major components, allowing for the accurate tracking of time in service for life-limited parts.

Applications
The SSP-1872-1 is the foundational document for engine ownership and maintenance:
Recording Maintenance: The sole acceptable location for certified mechanics to record all maintenance actions, from routine oil changes to a complete major overhaul.
Proving Airworthiness: The logbook is the primary document reviewed during an annual inspection, pre-purchase inspection, or FAA ramp check to determine if the engine is legally airworthy.
Determining Aircraft Value: A complete, well-documented logbook is one of the most significant factors in determining the resale value of an aircraft. Missing logbooks or incomplete records can diminish an aircraft's value by tens of thousands of dollars.
Why Choose SSP-1872-1?
The engine logbook is as critical as the engine itself. It is the engine's official "passport" and legal history. The Lycoming SSP-1872-1 provides the correct, standardized format that mechanics expect and regulators require.

According to Federal Aviation Regulation 14 CFR § 91.417, each owner or operator of an aircraft must keep and maintain records of the maintenance, preventative maintenance, and alteration of the aircraft's engines. These records must include the total time in service of the engine, the current status of life-limited parts, the time since last overhaul, the current inspection status, and the current status of applicable Airworthiness Directives (ADs). The SSP-1872-1 logbook is specifically designed to facilitate compliance with these legal requirements. Its structured format provides a clear, chronological history that allows a mechanic or inspector to quickly ascertain the engine's airworthiness status, making it an indispensable tool for safe and legal aircraft operation.
Note: This is a legal document. All entries must be made in ink and must be complete and accurate. It is the responsibility of the aircraft owner or operator to ensure the logbook is kept up to date. Missing logbooks can render an aircraft unairworthy and significantly impact its value.
