Narrative:
Failed to place in logbook a maintenance item that stopped working. Far requires this be placed in logbook at time of failures and dispatch notified. This was an alternate start valve/ignition which we wrote up going into nrt. 'By the book' we should have entered into log -- I was unaware of this until it was brought up in discussion with another crew. Will go by FARS better in future.
