About Avionics Service Bulletin Tracker
Modern panels run software with mandatory and optional service bulletins; some software loads gate database compatibility, and a few have AD status — making panel software version a tracked airworthiness item. The professional posture isn't 'comply with everything' — it's 'have a documented decision on everything': complied, deferred to overhaul with rationale, monitoring, or not applicable with the reason logged. That's precisely the structure of this tracker. Each bulletin carries its status, dates and notes; due and overdue badges watch the repetitive ones; and the export reads like the decision log a pre-buy inspector hopes to find and rarely does.

Frequently asked questions
Is avionics software really an airworthiness item?+
Increasingly, yes: several GPS/autopilot software bulletins carry AD status, IFR approval can hinge on specific software loads, and database compatibility chains to the running version. The version installed in your panel is configuration data worth tracking like a component serial. Log each unit with its current load and bulletin status here, and the avionics shop conversation starts from facts instead of 'whatever's in there'.
How does an SB decision log help at resale?+
Pre-buy inspections price uncertainty: an aircraft with a complete bulletin disposition list lets the inspector verify in an hour what otherwise takes days of logbook archaeology — and unexplained gaps get priced as if the worst answer were true. Sellers with this record routinely defend asking price; sellers without it donate the discount. The CSV export from this tracker is exactly that document.
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 get my data out if I switch systems later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your bulletin disposition log, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial software, archive it with your files, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is deliberate: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
