๐Ÿ›  Scheduled Maintenance #

The Schedules tab includes default maintenance inspections like:

  • 100-hour / Annual
  • 50-hour inspection

These inspections are automatically preconfigured when the aircraft is created. You can adjust the date/time intervals and tolerances as needed. You can also adjust the intervals for progressive inspections.

Schedules

๐Ÿ• Timed Maintenance Items #

The Timed Items tab contains maintenance tasks triggered by total airframe time (in hours).

Each line includes:

  • Item โ€“ Part or system (e.g., Engine, Magneto)
  • Task โ€“ Type of maintenance (e.g., Overhaul, Inspect)
  • Airframe time at 0 โ€“ Initial reference point (usually 0)
  • Interval (hours) โ€“ After how many hours the task recurs
  • Tolerance โ€“ Accepted leeway before or after due time
  • Is On Condition? โ€“ Mark if the item is maintained โ€œon conditionโ€ rather than on a strict interval

๐Ÿ›  These items are auto-generated when an aircraft is created, based on common general aviation practices. You can customize or remove them as needed.

Timed Task

๐Ÿ—“ Dated Maintenance Items #

The Dated Items tab includes calendar-based recurring tasks (e.g., ELT recertification, altimeter checks).

Each task includes:

  • Item โ€“ Part or system (e.g., Engine, Propeller)
  • Task โ€“ Type of maintenance (e.g., Overhaul, Inspect)
  • Interval and tolerance (in months)
  • Is On Condition? โ€“ Mark if the item is maintained โ€œon conditionโ€ rather than on a strict interval

๐Ÿ›  These items are auto-generated when an aircraft is created, based on common general aviation practices. You can customize or remove them as needed.

Dated Task

๐Ÿ” Cycled Maintenance Items #

The Cycled Items tab includes tasks tracked by flight cycles (e.g., gear inspections).

You can set:

  • Item โ€“ Part or system (e.g., Gear, brake)
  • Task โ€“ Type of maintenance (e.g., Overhaul, Inspect)
  • Interval and tolerance (in cycles)
  • โ€œOn conditionโ€ flag if applicable
