There’s nothing quite like the aviation community. A diverse group of people who are knowledgeable, mostly honorable, usually passionate and always ready to talk about airplanes. Being associated with this community has shaped my life like no other force and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it. I hold an Airframe and Powerplant Certificate with Inspection Authorization as well as Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor Certificates.
I have spent much of my time in aviation supporting our aircraft maintenance business with the paperwork part of the job. Compiling information for Major Repair and Alteration (337) Forms, researching airworthiness directives and transcribing aircraft logbook entries. Also, on the Brokering side, I have advised many buyers and sellers (successfully) on their decisions to either buy or sell an airplane. I can’t begin to count the hours I have spent reviewing aircraft records – each airplane has it’s own history and some get quite interesting!
During those hours of looking through records, I have often thought, “What a mess! Somebody should organize these records.”
So – I dedicated a large amount of time to organizing the aircraft logbooks and records for our Cessna 152 in just the manner that I wanted:
- A Complete Aircraft Records Makeover:
- An organized 3-ring binder.
- New aircraft, engine and propeller logbooks customized with the aircraft N number.
- New airworthiness directive lists compiled in a manner that is logical and easy to use.
- Copies of the airworthiness directives included with the lists.
- An area just for Major Repair and Alteration (337) Forms and associated data.
- A section for current Weight and Balance info and history.
- A personalized tote-bag just for this airplane.
Then it occurred to me that with some extra work, I could organize the aircraft logbooks and records for the entire General Aviation Fleet – one set of records at a time! Let’s do this…
