Most of your maintenance history is sitting in a paper logbook right now. TachMinder reads it, tracks what's coming due against it, and gives you and your A&P one shared record to work from.
Maintenance history, AD status, squawks, and due dates live in a single system that you own and your A&P works in. No second version of the truth in a drawer somewhere.
Upload an annual inspection PDF or a photo of a logbook page. Smart Aircraft Setup turns it into an aircraft profile with recurring maintenance and matched ADs in about 60 seconds. Every tier gets it.
An AD can target the airframe, the engine, the propeller, or an appliance on board; most trackers quietly skip that fourth one. TachMinder matches all four against what's actually installed in your aircraft, from the FAA's published directives, and color-codes each by enforcement.
They measure different things, so TachMinder never mixes them. Both clocks are stored separately, and every hours figure on the page is labeled with the clock it came from.
Upload a Blackstone or AOA report and TachMinder plots each element against your engine's own history, then flags the lines that are pulling away from it.
Ask when your ELT battery is due and the answer comes back with the logbook page it was drawn from. It's an informational tool, not a substitute for your certificated A&P; when the record doesn't say, neither does TachMinder.
Every entry is extracted with a citation to its source page, and nothing saves to your record until you've looked at it.
Most aircraft are set up inside ten minutes, and the longest step is you reading what the AI found.
Tail number, make, model, engine. Type them yourself, or upload a document and let the AI fill them in; every field shows the format it expects.
Engine, airframe, and prop logs all work, as a PDF or a phone photo. The AI pulls out every entry with a page citation and waits for you to verify before anything saves.
Co-owners and your shop see the same record you do. They submit entries and work orders; nothing is written until you accept it. The FAA already makes you the keeper of your aircraft's records under §91.417, and TachMinder is built around that.
Stop chasing owners for tach readings and the missing page from the airframe log. Link a client's aircraft once, then submit work orders and logbook entries straight to it; the owner reviews and accepts in-app. Entries keep the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate that §43.9(a)(4) calls for, and the wet-ink originals stay wherever you keep them now.
“I sold binders of paper with the plane. My buyer's lender asked for a one-page summary. I dreaded it. TachMinder had it ready in four minutes — every AD complied, every sample plotted, every page cited.”Allen ChenOwner · 1978 Piper Archer II · 2,900 hrs TTAF

Straight answers about what TachMinder does and how it works.
TachMinder is an AI-powered aircraft maintenance tracking app built for general aviation pilots flying under FAA Part 91. It tracks recurring maintenance, monitors Airworthiness Directive (AD) compliance, sends reminders before inspections come due, and includes an AI maintenance advisor you can ask questions in plain English.
Yes. TachMinder tracks both tach time (engine RPM-adjusted time) and Hobbs time (clock time) separately. Maintenance items can be set to come due by tach hours, Hobbs hours, or calendar date, so you always know when something is due.
No. TachMinder is an informational tool that helps you stay organized and informed; it is not a substitute for a certificated A&P mechanic or IA. Only a certificated mechanic, an appropriately rated repair station, or a person holding at least a private pilot certificate (for preventive maintenance on an aircraft they own or operate) can approve return-to-service. TachMinder helps you track what's due and prepare for shop visits.
TachMinder has separate plans for aircraft owners and maintenance providers. Owner plans: Pilot is $24/month (1 aircraft, full AI features) and Partnership is $34/month (up to 3 aircraft, shared co-owner access). Provider plans: Free tier, A&P Pro at $49/month, and Shop at $99/month. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial, and annual billing saves you 2 months.
Never. Anything safety-critical, like an overdue AD or a lapsed inspection, is visible to every TachMinder user regardless of subscription tier.
Yes. TachMinder has a dedicated provider experience for A&P mechanics and maintenance shops. Providers can link to your aircraft, submit maintenance completions, log squawks, and push updates, all of which go through an approval queue; nothing touches your record without your explicit acceptance.
