Saw a regional airline's maintenance bay in Phoenix and the tool crib gave me a headache
I was dropping off a part for a buddy at a small regional carrier's hangar near Sky Harbor last month. Their main tool crib looked like a bomb went off, with torque wrenches just thrown in a bin with other hand tools. I saw a guy grab a 3/8-inch drive wrench, check the calibration tag, and it was a year out of date. That's not just messy, it's a direct path to a bad day. How do you guys keep your shop's calibration program tight when things get busy?

Our calibration log is just a sticky note that says "probably fine.

What happens when the sticky note falls off though? That's your whole audit trail gone.

That sticky note method actually works pretty well.
