What is required when auditing the Aircraft Utilization Report (AUR)?

When auditing the Aircraft Utilization Report (AUR), performing a line-by-line comparison against the AFTO Form 781 is essential. This process ensures that the data recorded in the AUR accurately reflects the actual usage and operational status of the aircraft as documented in the AFTO Form 781. The AFTO Form 781 serves as an official record of flight times and maintenance actions, so aligning the AUR with this form helps identify discrepancies, validate information, and maintain the accuracy of the aircraft's operational records.

This meticulous comparison is vital because it supports effective resource management and operational efficiency, ensuring that decision-makers have the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding aircraft utilization. It also helps in fulfilling compliance requirements and maintaining accountability within the organization when it comes to asset management and reporting.
