Narrative:

Upon completion of job card land CAT III capability test and log book sign off I failed to notice a change to the job card that stated: note: to be accomplished by CAT certified personnel. Re-certify aircraft to CAT III status. Be sure to create a separate item that only addresses the CAT status. Refer to maintenance procedure and policy if needed. I later realized that I should also have made a second logbook entry stating: no open log items in CAT system. Aircraft remains certified to CAT ii/IIIA/IIIB status. This is a poorly written job card as it states 're-certify.' this is a routine card issued every 30 days to aircraft in service that have not been 'decertified,' so the word 're-certify' needs to be changed.

Title: AN A319 WAS DISPATCHED IN NON COMPLIANCE DUE TO NO LOGBOOK ENTRY ON AUTOLAND STATUS OF ACFT.

Narrative: UPON COMPLETION OF JOB CARD LAND CAT III CAPABILITY TEST AND LOG BOOK SIGN OFF I FAILED TO NOTICE A CHANGE TO THE JOB CARD THAT STATED: NOTE: TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY CAT CERTIFIED PERSONNEL. RE-CERTIFY ACFT TO CAT III STATUS. BE SURE TO CREATE A SEPARATE ITEM THAT ONLY ADDRESSES THE CAT STATUS. REFER TO MAINT PROC AND POLICY IF NEEDED. I LATER REALIZED THAT I SHOULD ALSO HAVE MADE A SECOND LOGBOOK ENTRY STATING: NO OPEN LOG ITEMS IN CAT SYS. ACFT REMAINS CERTIFIED TO CAT II/IIIA/IIIB STATUS. THIS IS A POORLY WRITTEN JOB CARD AS IT STATES 'RE-CERTIFY.' THIS IS A ROUTINE CARD ISSUED EVERY 30 DAYS TO ACFT IN SVC THAT HAVE NOT BEEN 'DECERTIFIED,' SO THE WORD 'RE-CERTIFY' NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
