Aircraft maintenance tracking for owners

Build a useful maintenance picture from logbook evidence instead of maintaining a second disconnected spreadsheet.

Start with the evidence

Add the aircraft and its logbooks, then scan or import the records you already rely on. Confirm extracted entries before treating them as trusted. The timeline remains linked to the original page image, so a date or tach value can always be checked.

Record the current meters

Enter tach, Hobbs, or airframe time readings as they become available. MyTailLog separates recorded readings from estimates and accounts for meter replacements, so an old or estimated value does not silently outrank a newer owner-confirmed reading.

Turn entries into status

Track annual and recurring inspections, life-limited equipment, AD and service-bulletin compliance, oil history, and open squawks. Due dates and projected hour limits are planning aids; they do not replace an A&P or IA review.

Share a concise snapshot

The maintenance summary combines current status, upcoming attention items, equipment counts, AD/SB counts, and weight-and-balance figures. Print it to PDF or share a redacted text snapshot with an IA, co-owner, or prospective buyer.
