Hey guys,
New aircraft owner here (1965 Cherokee 140). I am just wondering what you guys do to keep track of all the AD's and Maintenance (oil changes, inspections, etc). I have read some other threads on here to get some ideas. I am thinking an Excel sheet should work fine, or maybe a notebook (I am partial to Excel though).
I noticed the A&P who did the annual provided this nice list of AD's from Triton Aviation Data Corp - it tells you whether or not the AD is recurring, etc. Otherwise I guess you just have to go to the FAA AD list and manually go through them? AD's seem to be the most "complex" thing to keep track of I guess. Excuse my ignorance. For instance I believe there is an AD that requires inspection of the muffler for cracks every 50 hours. Stuff like that I need to make sure I am keeping track of. What is the best way to keep track of AD's?
Other things like oil changes, ELT inspection, and transponder can just be setup with like a "due date" in Excel.
I am generally a very organized person so I am just trying to think of the most efficient way to keep track of all these things.
