Squawks, hours and inspections.
One aircraft maintenance log.
Airframe, engine and prop hours. Squawks tagged to the component that has them. A starter schedule the day you add the aircraft, and your A&P invited to the same record.

WHY OWNERS USE IT
Airworthiness is a maintenance schedule, kept
Airworthy is the normal state, and it is a schedule. The condition inspection every 12 months, the ELT alongside it, the transponder every 24, altimeter and pitot-static for IFR, oil and filter every 50 engine hours. Log the work and the airframe, engine and prop times go with it, so the summary always shows where each one stands. Add the intervals that are yours — oil analysis at every change, the 100-hour if you fly for hire. Due-soon reminders arrive ahead of the date. You preflight an aircraft that reads Airworthy, with the record behind it that says why.
WHAT YOU TRACK
An aircraft record in the words you already use
Pick the airplane type and the whole app speaks aviation — the tabs, the statuses, the notifications, the export.
- The thing
- AircraftGrouped into your Fleet, each with its own make, model, serial and tail number.
- Something is wrong
- SquawksLow through AOG, tagged to the engine, propeller or blade that has the problem, with photos attached.
- Something recurs
- Maintenance tasksInspections, part replacements and other checks, due by date or by hours.
- Something was done
- Work logsWhat was done, by whom, at what times — closing the squawks and tasks it covers.
- Who did it
- TechniciansYour A&P, your IA, yourself. Held against the account, not retyped per aircraft.
- What it is made of
- ComponentsEngine, propeller and blades, each with the serial that makes it traceable.
An AOG squawk sits at the top of the list and stays there: AOG squawks must be resolved before flight. ADs and SBs are yours to enter — SquawkIt ships no model-specific intervals and never invents one.
STARTER SCHEDULE
The universal intervals, set up on day one
Add an aircraft and these are offered straight away. Keep them, edit the intervals, or turn them off — they are recommendations, not authority.
| Task | Comes due | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Conditional inspection | 12 months | Experimental aircraft: the operating limitations require a condition inspection within the preceding 12 calendar months, to the scope of 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix D. |
| ELT inspection | 12 months | Emergency locator transmitter inspected within the preceding 12 calendar months (14 CFR 91.207(d)). |
| Oil change | 50 engine hours | Oil and filter every 50 engine hours. Sooner if the engine manual says so, or if the airplane sits between flights. |
| Transponder test | 24 months | Tested and inspected within the preceding 24 calendar months (14 CFR 91.413). |
| Altimeter & pitot-static test | 24 months | Required for IFR operations; within the preceding 24 calendar months (14 CFR 91.411). |
| 100-hour inspectionOff by default | 100 airframe hours | Only if operated for hire or used for flight instruction for hire (14 CFR 91.409(b)). |
Universal intervals only — the Part 91 items plus the one engine interval no engine manual argues with. Never a model-specific interval, never an AD or SB. Anything else is a task you add, with the interval you choose.
HOURS
Three meters, and tasks that come due against them
Airframe, engine and prop
Three hour meters, recorded on the work log as you go. Engine Time belongs to the engine and Prop Time to the propeller, so a task on the engine counts the engine’s hours — not the airframe’s. The dashboard keeps the current reading for each one and the total number of logs beside it.
By the calendar or by the hour
A maintenance task recurs on calendar time, on a meter, or on whichever comes first — the annual and the 50-hour oil change living side by side. Due-soon and overdue reminders arrive before anything lapses, with anything that grounds the aircraft at the top of the list.
SETTING ONE UP
What it asks for, and nothing it does not
The aircraft
Make, model, serial number and tail number. The tail number is what the aircraft is listed under, so the fleet reads the way you talk about it.
What hangs off it
Engines, the propeller bolted to each, and the blades on the propeller — the way the parts actually attach. Each carries its own serial, so a squawk or a log entry points at a specific part rather than the airplane in general.
Is SquawkIt a certified aircraft maintenance record?
No. SquawkIt is a personal convenience tool. It does not replace the official aircraft logbooks or any record required by your aviation authority — it supports them.
Does it track airframe, engine and prop times separately?
Yes. Airframe Time, Engine Time and Prop Time are three meters, and engine hours belong to the engine rather than the airframe. You record them on the work log and tasks come due against them.
Can my A&P log work against my aircraft?
Yes. Invite them to that specific aircraft as a technician. They see its schedule, squawks and history and can log work against it; you stay the owner and can revoke access at any time.
What inspections does it set up for me?
A starter schedule of the universal items: a 12-month condition inspection, the ELT inspection, the transponder test every 24 months, the altimeter and pitot-static test for IFR, oil and filter every 50 engine hours, and the 100-hour if you operate for hire. You can edit every one of them, and add your own.
