Hazmat Parts Shipping Checklist
Interactive hazmat parts shipping checklist with progress saved locally — the documents-first discipline that prevents expensive surprises.

About Hazmat Parts Shipping Checklist
Some procedures matter precisely because they're boring: nothing about this job is hard, and everything about it is skippable until the one time it wasn't. The aviation-parts world ships hazmat constantly without noticing — used fuel pumps with residue, lithium ELTs, oxygen bottles — and untrained hazmat shipping is one of the few paperwork errors with personal civil-penalty exposure. Work the sections in order; tick honestly; reset between uses.

Frequently asked questions
Which aircraft parts count as hazardous materials for shipping?+
More than intuition suggests: anything with lithium cells (ELTs, ULBs, battery packs), oxygen cylinders and chemical oxygen generators (the most dangerous and most regulated), fuel system components with residual fuel, paints/sealants/adhesives, fire-extinguisher cartridges, and inflation cylinders. Shipping these undeclared — even unknowingly — exposes the shipper to penalties that reach individuals, not just companies, and air carriers test compliance. 49 CFR 172.704 requires training for anyone who prepares hazmat shipments; the honest checklist starts with 'is it hazmat?', asked every time.
Who in a small operation should own this checklist?+
Whoever touches the box first — and that's the point: in operations without a receiving department, the discipline must live in a tool rather than a role. Print or open the list at the bench, run it on every shipment regardless of vendor familiarity (the best suppliers' rare errors are the ones that get through), and the operation has a receiving process without hiring one.
Do I need an account or internet connection?+
No account and no connection are needed once the page has loaded — records live in local storage on your device and every calculation runs in your browser. Data doesn't sync between devices, so export the CSV when you want to move or archive your records.
Can I get my data out if I switch systems later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your inspection record, 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.
