The risk it heads off
- You start work with no signed work order, then cannot claim for it.The pack shows the signed work order as missing until you add it.
- An expired certificate of currency gets the crew turned away.Warns 30 days before each insurance expires.
- The pack goes in with a gap nobody noticed.The front page lists what is missing as clearly as what is in.
