Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / aviation maintenance records
Portuguese term or phrase: O.S.
this abbreviation is specified in several places in a document relating to the maintenance of helicopter engines

'foi feita uma troca de óleo, lançada em O.S.’
‘Estava lançada e assinada no item 26 da O.S. uma nova troca de óleo’

I have found references to 'origem/serviço', and this would account for the feminine 'da' in 'da O.S.'. So would this be translated as 'origin/service records'?

I don't think it should be 'operating system'.

Thank you for any help, I am happy to receive help in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Obrigado.

Notes to answerer
Asker: thanks to all for this. however, in the second exmaple given above there is a reference to item 26 of 'da' O.S., as if the O.S. is some sort of overall record ... is it possible for the Ordem de Serviço also to be an overall record of works undertaken (=>'Service Logbook'). Thanks again. Agradeço.
