About Pitot-Static & Altimeter Check Tracker (91.411)
91.411: static system, altimeter and automatic altitude reporting tested within 24 calendar months for IFR in controlled airspace. The operational catch: VFR-only aircraft skip it legally โ until the day you file, when an expired check makes the flight illegal before takeoff. This scheduler holds each aircraft's items with their last-done and next-due dates, applies amber warnings before the deadline, and headlines whatever is due soonest. It's deliberately simple โ dates in, badges out โ because the failure mode this rule generates isn't complexity, it's the deadline nobody re-derived after the last sign-off.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does the rule behind this tracker require?+
91.411: static system, altimeter and automatic altitude reporting tested within 24 calendar months for IFR in controlled airspace. The detail that catches IFR aircraft: VFR-only aircraft skip it legally โ until the day you file, when an expired check makes the flight illegal before takeoff. Encode the real next-due date here at every sign-off โ including the end-of-month or interval-deduction quirks โ and the badge carries the arithmetic from then on.
What happens if this inspection lapses?+
The aircraft (or the affected operation) is grounded as a matter of law until the inspection is completed โ and operating anyway risks certificate action and voided insurance. There's no grace period in the rule; the grace period is whatever warning buffer you build, which is exactly what the amber badge is.
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.
What format does the export use and what reads it?+
A plain CSV with one row per entry and labelled column headers โ the most portable format there is. Spreadsheets open it directly, most specialised software can map it on import, and a printed copy is perfectly legible to a human reviewer. Nothing proprietary means your inspection schedule is never trapped here.
