Balloon Maintenance Log

Balloon maintenance is fabric science plus plumbing: envelope life is measured in hours and porosity/grab-test results, burners and fuel systems carry their own service cycles, and the annual covers all of it per the manufacturer's program. Those particulars define the record worth keeping: envelope hours and fabric condition (grab tests), burner and fuel-system service, basket and cable inspections. A log structured around them (rather than a generic 'date/work' diary) means the patterns and recurring obligations of THIS kind of operation stay visible — which is most of what separates well-maintained examples from the other kind.

Preventive maintenance per Part 43 Appendix A may be owner-performed on Part 91 aircraft (with proper record entries); everything else needs appropriately certificated personnel, with inspections signed by the holders the rule specifies. The 'performed by' field in this log keeps the authority question answerable for every entry — exactly what a records review checks.

Only you. Entries live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device, so there is no account, no cloud sync and no one else with access. Because the data is device-local, export a CSV backup before clearing browser data or switching computers.

Yes — one click exports your complete maintenance 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.
