Skydive Aircraft Maintenance Log
Maintenance log built for jump operations: dated work entries, recurring-item badges and per-aircraft separation for the fleet.
A jump Caravan logs more thermal cycles in a weekend than a charter machine logs in a month: cycle-driven items (hot sections, gear, doors) age at multiples of their hour-based expectations.

Free skydive aircraft maintenance log for jump operations: work entries with hours AND cycles, recurring badges, per-aircraft separation โ built for this operation's actual wear pattern.
About Skydive Aircraft Maintenance Log
Jump flying is the highest cycles-per-hour regime in aviation โ climb at max power, descend like a brick, repeat eight times a day โ and the maintenance clock runs on cycles. That single fact should shape the whole record for jump operations โ and here it does: a jump caravan logs more thermal cycles in a weekend than a charter machine logs in a month: cycle-driven items (hot sections, gear, doors) age at multiples of their hour-based expectations. Entries take thirty seconds, badges watch the recurring work, and the CSV export turns season-end reviews and insurance questionnaires into paste jobs.

Frequently asked questions
What makes maintenance different for jump operations?+
A jump Caravan logs more thermal cycles in a weekend than a charter machine logs in a month: cycle-driven items (hot sections, gear, doors) age at multiples of their hour-based expectations. The tracking implication: jump flying is the highest cycles-per-hour regime in aviation โ climb at max power, descend like a brick, repeat eight times a day โ and the maintenance clock runs on cycles. A record structured around those realities โ cycles beside hours, the operation's specific recurring items, per-aircraft history โ predicts failures and budgets honestly where a generic date/work diary just accumulates lines.
How should a shared or fleet operation keep this record honest?+
Make entry friction near-zero (this log's seven fields take thirty seconds), assign the habit to a role rather than a person ('whoever closes the cowl logs the work'), and review the board on a fixed rhythm โ weekly in season. Shared operations decay by skipped entries, not wrong ones; the visible next-due badges and entry counts here make skips conspicuous, which is most of the cure.
What happens to my entries if I clear my browser?+
Clearing site data deletes locally stored entries โ that's the price of a genuinely private, server-free design. Protect yourself with the one-click CSV download before any cleanup, OS reinstall or device change: re-importing history later beats reconstructing it from memory.
How do I back up or print these records?+
Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full fleet maintenance history 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.
