About Hangar Safety Inspection Checklist
Inspections reward systems, and systems are checklists run on a rhythm. Hangar incidents cluster in the boring categories — fires from rags and strips, jack slips, tow damage — all visible to a monthly walk with a list, none visible to familiarity. Work the sections in order, tick honestly, date the completion — the dated record of past runs is itself the evidence auditors weigh most.

Frequently asked questions
What does a useful monthly hangar inspection cover?+
The boring lethal stuff, with a list: fire layer (extinguisher tags, flammables storage, oily-rag bins, electrical condition), mechanical layer (jacks, stands, gas bottles, tow equipment), and the housekeeping layer that predicts both (floors, exits, FOD discipline). The monthly rhythm matters because familiarity blinds: the daisy-chained power strip becomes furniture by week three. Twenty minutes with this checklist, dated and kept, is also exactly what insurance inspections and airport authority audits want to see.
How do I turn this checklist into a standing program?+
Calendar plus ownership plus record: a fixed day (first Monday monthly works), a named owner per section, and the completion dated and kept — this tool's saved progress plus an exported note covers it. Programs fail by being someone's good intention; they survive by being a recurring appointment with a list. The first run takes an hour and finds things; by the third run it's twenty minutes of confirmation.
Where is this data stored?+
Everything you enter is saved in your browser's local storage on your own device — nothing is uploaded to any server. Your records stay completely private, work offline, and load instantly. Use the CSV export regularly to keep an off-device backup copy.
How do I back up or print these records?+
Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full inspection record as a spreadsheet-ready file. From there you can print a clean copy, archive it with your records folder, or import it into any other system. Exporting monthly is a good habit since the working data lives only in your browser.
