About Annual Inspection Scheduler

91.409(a): an annual inspection within the preceding 12 calendar months, by an IA, valid to the end of the month. The operational catch: the end-of-month rule means a March 3rd annual and a March 28th annual both expire March 31st next year. This scheduler holds each aircraft's items with their last-done and next-due dates, applies amber warnings before the deadline, and headlines whatever is due soonest. It's deliberately simple โ€” dates in, badges out โ€” because the failure mode this rule generates isn't complexity, it's the deadline nobody re-derived after the last sign-off.

How to use Annual Inspection Scheduler

  1. 1Add each aircraft's inspection items with last-done and next-due dates.
  2. 2Update the dates at every sign-off โ€” thirty seconds, max.
  3. 3Schedule shop time when badges go amber; export the board for your records.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does the rule behind this tracker require?+

91.409(a): an annual inspection within the preceding 12 calendar months, by an IA, valid to the end of the month. The detail that catches Part 91 owners: the end-of-month rule means a March 3rd annual and a March 28th annual both expire March 31st next year. Encode the real next-due date here at every sign-off โ€” including the end-of-month or interval-deduction quirks โ€” and the badge carries the arithmetic from then on.

What happens if this inspection lapses?+

The aircraft (or the affected operation) is grounded as a matter of law until the inspection is completed โ€” and operating anyway risks certificate action and voided insurance. There's no grace period in the rule; the grace period is whatever warning buffer you build, which is exactly what the amber badge is.

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

Clearing site data deletes locally stored entries โ€” 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 โ€” one click exports your complete inspection schedule 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.
