Jim Meade Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 What do you use and like for a maintenance records system for a single, one-owner airplane? Is there a neat way to track ADs, SBs and other maintenance alerts to show that you have considered and accomplished them? I'm wondering if one should print them, put them in a binder, and have them available for reference or is this overkill? Is there a nice computer program that can format and print maintenance records on sticky paper for inclusion in log books? Or just use something off the shelf? When I take the 120 hour course, will it help me better define and refer to the regulations that one wants to cite to indicate a repair or maintenance has been done in accordance with the regs?

FastEddieB Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 My main logbooks are at my hangar, but I found some Avery labels that work well - I've apparently used both 2"x4" and 3"x4" in the past and settled now on the 2"x4". I've got a Mac, and still use AppleWorks to print my text in the upper left corner of a document. To get alignment right, you can initially print all your trials on plain paper and just hold them up to a light to be sure all the text makes it onto the label - saves lots of wasted labels. Here's the only one I have here at the house - I now have a different Airframe logbook:
