Landing Gear Overhaul Tracker

Track landing gear overhaul limits per component — current cycles vs limit with remaining-life badges per serial.

retractable gear systems carry overhaul/inspection intervals by cycles and calendar; gear-cycle counts also drive actuator, trunnion and drag-brace life.

Free landing gear overhaul tracker: every component with serial, current cycles and limit, plus remaining-life badges that go amber at 10% left. nobody logs gear cycles directly.

About Landing Gear Overhaul Tracker

retractable gear systems carry overhaul/inspection intervals by cycles and calendar; gear-cycle counts also drive actuator, trunnion and drag-brace life. The trap is the second clock: nobody logs gear cycles directly — they're derived from landings, which is why a landings-based tracker is the honest proxy. This tracker keeps each component as its own row — part, serial, current cycles, limit — and computes remaining life continuously, going amber at the last 10%. Update the current figures when you update your aircraft times and the board stays honest; export the CSV and your overhaul budgeting, pre-buy responses and annual planning all start from the same reconciled numbers.

How to use Landing Gear Overhaul Tracker

  1. 1Add each component with serial, current cycles and its limit.
  2. 2Update current figures whenever aircraft times update.
  3. 3Plan overhauls and budgets off the remaining-life badges; export as needed.

Why use Landing Gear Overhaul Tracker?

  • Per-serial rows: part, serial, current cycles, limit
  • Remaining-life badge per component — amber at 10%, red at zero
  • Encodes the real-world trap: nobody logs gear cycles directly
  • Update once per aircraft-times update; always reconciled
  • CSV export feeds budgets, pre-buys and annuals

Frequently asked questions

Is the limit on landing gear overhaul mandatory or advisory?+

Under Part 91, manufacturer intervals like this are largely advisory — you may operate on condition — but the advisory label hides real teeth: nobody logs gear cycles directly — they're derived from landings, which is why a landings-based tracker is the honest proxy. Insurance positions, 135 program requirements, resale value and plain risk management all push toward tracked compliance, and the tracking itself is nearly free. The expensive version is re-deriving component history at pre-buy time.

How do I establish current times for components with patchy records?+

Anchor each component to its last documented event — overhaul release tag, 8130-3, installation logbook entry — and accrue forward from the aircraft times since that date. Where no anchor exists, the conservative convention is to assume the worst (time-expired or unknown-since-new) and price decisions accordingly. Enter your best-evidenced figure here with the anchor noted in the notes field; a documented assumption beats an optimistic blank.

Why doesn't this tool sync to the cloud?+

By design: operational records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you work from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots with the CSV export.

Can I export these records for an audit?+

Yes — one click exports your complete component life record 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.
