Turboprop AD Compliance Tracker
Track every applicable directive for turboprop operators — compliance method, last done, next due by date or hours — with overdue badges.
Engine ADs frequently key on cycles or hot-section exposure rather than airframe hours, so one aircraft tracks three different time bases simultaneously.

⚠️ Not for operational decisions. This is a record-keeping and planning aid only — not certified avionics, not a source of regulatory truth. Always verify against official sources (FAA/EASA) and your operator's approved documents before flying.
A free AD/directive compliance board for turboprop operators: every directive with its method, last-complied date and next due, colour-coded before anything goes overdue. Engine ADs frequently key on cycles or hot-section exposure rather than airframe hours, so one aircraft tracks three different time bases simultaneously..
About Turboprop AD Compliance Tracker
For turboprop operators, the AD list is the aircraft's legal heartbeat. Turboprop directives split across airframe, engine (PT6/TPE331 hot-section and fuel-nozzle ADs) and propeller (Hartzell/MT blade and hub directives), each with its own interval logic. And the failure mode is always the same: engine ads frequently key on cycles or hot-section exposure rather than airframe hours, so one aircraft tracks three different time bases simultaneously. Keep the list alive here instead — directive, method, last done, next due by date or hours — and let the colour badges watch the calendar. The export doubles as the compliance summary your mechanic, buyer or inspector asks for first.

Frequently asked questions
What time bases do turboprop ADs run on?+
At least four: calendar months, airframe hours, engine hours/cycles, and propeller hours — and a single aircraft's AD list typically uses all of them. The classic miss is a propeller hub AD keyed to prop hours after overhaul, which nobody's spreadsheet tracked. Logging each directive with its own due basis (date or hours, as this tracker allows) keeps the four clocks separately honest.
How should repetitive ADs be tracked differently from one-time ADs?+
A one-time AD is history once signed off; a repetitive directive is a living deadline that regenerates at every compliance. Track repetitive items with their interval logic — the next-due date or hour figure updated at each sign-off — and keep them on the board forever. This tracker's repetitive-items counter exists because those entries, not the one-time ones, are where airworthiness quietly lapses.
What happens if an AD goes overdue?+
The aircraft is unairworthy as a matter of law until compliance — insurance may be void, and flight (except under a ferry permit specifically issued for the purpose) is illegal. The cure is compliance plus a proper maintenance record entry. The practical defence is never reaching that state: a 30-day amber warning against a reconciled list is dramatically cheaper than a ferry permit and a sheepish call to your insurer.
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 AD compliance list, 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.
