Procedure; Aircraft; Company Policy
Repair was addressed using an 'In Process EA'. On the above 'aware' date I was requested by management to sign and BACK date final EA ; that was issued [Date]. The aircraft had been flying for approximately 5 weeks with this open EA. Non Routine was also signed off in error using the In Process EA. I was advised at the time that this was a VDR event and was being taken care of by Maintenance Control. More careful monitoring of paperwork; signoffs and proper procedures.
Technician reported he was asked to back date an EA after it was determined that the aircraft had flown for five weeks with an open EA.
