About Aircraft Squawk Log

For owners and partnerships, the specific failure it prevents: shared aircraft die by unreported squawks — the third pilot to notice the flaky fuel gauge assumes the first two reported it. This tool is that artifact, kept simple — write-ups in, badges and counts out, CSV whenever the shop or an auditor asks.

Frequently asked questions

Why do partnerships and clubs need a structured squawk log?+

Diffusion of responsibility: each pilot assumes someone else reported the intermittent radio, and six weeks later it fails on an IFR handoff. A shared, structured squawk list — visible status, dates, who reported — collapses that gap. It also builds the discrepancy history your mechanic wants at the annual: intermittents with five dated observations get diagnosed; 'it does something weird sometimes' gets billed hourly.

How detailed should a discrepancy entry be?+

Enough that a stranger could act on it: what, when noticed, conditions, and any pattern ('right fuel gauge reads zero for first 10 minutes, cold mornings only'). Severity and status make it actionable; the date makes it evidence. The one-line vague entry — 'radio weird' — costs more shop time than it saves writing time, which is the entire economics of doing this properly.

What happens to my entries if I clear my browser?+

Clearing site data deletes locally stored entries — that's the price of a genuinely private, server-free design. Protect yourself with the one-click CSV download before any cleanup, OS reinstall or device change: re-importing history later beats reconstructing it from memory.

Can I export these records for an audit?+

Yes — one click exports your complete discrepancy history as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. The export preserves every column exactly as entered, so you can print it, attach it to paperwork, or hand it to an inspector, buyer or insurance underwriter as a supporting summary alongside your official records.
