After you have set up your account and added your aircraft information, on login you are presented with the 'Home' screen from where you can update your flight information, access your maintenance records, view personal documents (pilot's license, aircraft registration and insurance, etc.), transfer your information to another user or download it onto your device and edit your personal profile.
When you update your flight times, the app automatically calculates when the next inspection and maintenance is due for each requirement, highlighting overdue requirements in red and requirements due within the next 7 days or 5 hours, flight time in yellow. The status of the remaining requirements are shown in green. You can send yourself a text message or email notification.
You can view the details of your inspection and maintenance history for each requirement. Your history is displayed in chronological order along with when the next inspection and maintenance is due. Any documentation (e.g., reports, photographs) that you added is linked directly to a specific history. By tapping on the history you can edit the history and view the documentation.
By tapping on a specific history you can view any documents linked to the history, edit/delete the documents or add additional documents.
To add inspection and maintenance history you have the option of updating all requirements at once (e.g., annual) or updating individual requirements.
You can either add the history directly on your device or print out a check list to work from.
When you select a requirement to add history to, the status of when the next maintenance is due for that requirement is displayed. After entering the date and TSN, you can add any amount of detail in the notes section (e.g., as found conditions, corrective actions, parts used, etc.). Once saved, you are given the option to link and save documents.
Template requirements have been developed for a number of airframes, engines and propellers to help you create your own inspection and maintenance requirements specific to your airframe, engine and propeller serial numbers and avionics.
You can also modify these to fit your flying habits and environment.
You can also create your own inspection and maintenance requirements to the level of detail you feel is necessary for your airframe, engine and propeller. Add any detailed notes to the requirement you think will be helpful (e.g., procedure references, parts required, etc.).
Once created, your ‘User’ requirements are presented in a table form, with scrolling and key word searching capability.
