I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I fail to see where an alternate method of signing off a condition inspection is described, permitted and/or acceptable. That's why I asked for someone to point out a reference which supports a different method of recording a condition inspection. Otherwise, it's a fallacy.
Airplane "A" goes in for Condition inspection. A&P does the inspection and hands the owner a list of things needing addressed. The owner addresses those things on the list. The A&P does not have to do another inspection, its been done. All that needs done is the list of problems need to be repaired or fixed. Another Condition Inspection does not need to be done, it was done and the A&P handed the problems or things needed fixed " discrepancies " to the owner. The inspection is done with discrepancies. No need for another inspection. Its been done.
