Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any of you have a good form that you use to track the maintenance on your aircraft. Whether it be a form, an excel program or whatever that you wouldn't mind sharing.

What I was really hoping was that someone would have made an app for that, but I don't see anything like that. For the club planes, our scheduling software tracked everything and alerted us when items were getting close. It is really nice to have.

Anyway, thought I would ask.

Thanks,
Cory

AFTO Form 781A...hahahah!

Most of my experience is with military or large fleets that use computerized software. I've never had a plane that flies, but the GA ones I've worked on just used the logbooks. I got to where I like using my computer to type up my stuff, print on a label, and then stick that in the logbook. Much more legible than my handwriting. I use excel for tracking times for preventative maintenance / annuals / 100hrs, etc.

I have used Excel for many years to track maintenace on all of my motorized equipment and as a backup to my logbook. Built my own sheets that add up all my expenses and pilot hours.

The best & easiest way to track it is with a big whiteboard in the hangar, with line items: oil change, oil filter, transponder cert, annual inspection, AD # 12345, etc-- with a calendar or hourmeter due-date listed for each. Easy to read at a glance every time you get the airplane out. Low tech but it works.
