Narrative:

Captain and myself failed to check aircraft logbook prior to flight. During my phase of preflight, I had 4 interruptions, 2 required radio calls to the company. During the start checklist, the captain responded 'checked' to the first item being 'logbooks.' I assumed the captain had checked the logbooks. He had, in fact, checked the flight attendant logbook but not the aircraft logbook. Supplemental information from acn 247073: all taxi, takeoff and climb segments were uneventful but when we reached cruise altitude and the engine monitoring was complete, I reached back to enter the data into the logbook and it was not there. A thousand horrible thoughts went quickly through my mind but only 2 words were uttered from my mouth. I immediately sent a message via ACARS to flight dispatch and maintenance control explaining that I had appeared to have departed without the maintenance log being in its proper place. Dispatch sent a message back via ACARS that the maintenance log would be replaced upon arrival at our first point of intended landing. Maintenance did meet the flight and provided me with a new logbook and we departed for our next destination with the proper documentation on board.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: FLC OF AN MLG ACR ACFT FAILED TO REVIEW THE ACFT FLT LOG RECORD OR CARRY IT IN THE ACFT PER THE FAA APPROVED COMPANY PROCS.

Narrative: CAPT AND MYSELF FAILED TO CHK ACFT LOGBOOK PRIOR TO FLT. DURING MY PHASE OF PREFLT, I HAD 4 INTERRUPTIONS, 2 REQUIRED RADIO CALLS TO THE COMPANY. DURING THE START CHKLIST, THE CAPT RESPONDED 'CHKED' TO THE FIRST ITEM BEING 'LOGBOOKS.' I ASSUMED THE CAPT HAD CHKED THE LOGBOOKS. HE HAD, IN FACT, CHKED THE FLT ATTENDANT LOGBOOK BUT NOT THE ACFT LOGBOOK. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 247073: ALL TAXI, TKOF AND CLB SEGMENTS WERE UNEVENTFUL BUT WHEN WE REACHED CRUISE ALT AND THE ENG MONITORING WAS COMPLETE, I REACHED BACK TO ENTER THE DATA INTO THE LOGBOOK AND IT WAS NOT THERE. A THOUSAND HORRIBLE THOUGHTS WENT QUICKLY THROUGH MY MIND BUT ONLY 2 WORDS WERE UTTERED FROM MY MOUTH. I IMMEDIATELY SENT A MESSAGE VIA ACARS TO FLT DISPATCH AND MAINT CTL EXPLAINING THAT I HAD APPEARED TO HAVE DEPARTED WITHOUT THE MAINT LOG BEING IN ITS PROPER PLACE. DISPATCH SENT A MESSAGE BACK VIA ACARS THAT THE MAINT LOG WOULD BE REPLACED UPON ARR AT OUR FIRST POINT OF INTENDED LNDG. MAINT DID MEET THE FLT AND PROVIDED ME WITH A NEW LOGBOOK AND WE DEPARTED FOR OUR NEXT DEST WITH THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION ON BOARD.
