Re-drafting of Log Book Entries

[Ernie Martin]

I am trying to help a friend with a Twin Commander whose log book has a recent, lengthy entry in an English so atrocious as to be virtually unintelligible.

I'm hoping that IAs reading this Forum might tell me the legal and FAA-acceptable way of re-writing this entry.

Can the original A&P make a substitute entry, obscuring the original, perhaps gluing a printed piece of paper with the new carefully worded and easily understood statement on top of the original entry?

Should the original A&P make a substitute entry but without obscuring the original, perhaps gluing the printed piece of paper only along one edge so that it may be lifted to read the original entry?

Should the original A&P make a second entry with same date/Hobbs stating "This is a clarification of the immediately preceding entry to indicate more clearly that the work done was....[put here a carefully worded and easily understood statement of what was done]"?

Any other alternatives?

Thanks in advance for your help.
