Digital logbook

Plan once. Archive everything.

AMS captures maintenance work in structured, FAR 43.9-aligned records — then feeds inspections, AD tracking, squawks, and your AMS Report timeline. Today it is your planning and archive layer; official RTS and IA sign-off still belong in the aircraft's FAA logbooks unless you use an accepted electronic record process.

FAR 43.9 aligned

Structured records your IA expects — ready for paper sign-off.

Airframe, engine, and propeller sections with return-to-service language, inspection types, and meter readings at time of work. AMS organizes what mechanics need to record; the regulatory signature still goes in the official logbook.

  • Airframe, engine, and propeller log sections
  • Inspection type and RTS detail tracking
  • Tach, Hobbs, and total time on each record
  • Mechanic name and certificate number fields
  • Printable exports for paper logbook entry

Print & paper

One combined logbook — or a volume for each category.

Print a year from Digital Logbook the way the shop works: choose Airframe, Engine, Propeller, Avionics & Electrical, and Miscellaneous, then print one book or a separate volume per category.

  • Select all categories, or pick only what you need
  • Combined print sorted by date, or five physical-style volumes
  • Photo archive of paper logbook pages still sits beside new entries
  • Exports you can take to the official FAA logbook

Logbook data powers everything else

AMS is one system — not a logbook silo. Every entry strengthens inspections, due-item tracking, and your AMS Report.

Due items

Annuals, 100-hour, oil changes, and AD deadlines stay tied to the aircraft meters.

Regulatory clarity

Digital archive today. Official logbook sign-off still matters.

AMS is honest about where it fits in Part 91 maintenance record-keeping — so shops, owners, and IAs know what the platform does and what FAA rules still require on paper.

What AMS does today

AMS is a planning, tracking, and digital archive platform. It stores structured maintenance history, shop workflows, due items, scanned legacy pages, and AMS Report timelines — with fields aligned to the content required by 14 CFR 43.9 and inspection context under 43.11.

What still requires the official logbook

  • Return to service (43.9): Approval for return to service after maintenance, other than required inspections, must be made by an appropriately rated person with a signature and certificate number in the aircraft's maintenance record.
  • IA approval (43.11): Annual and other required inspections need Inspection Authorization approval recorded per FAA rules — AMS tracks the work; the IA still signs the official record.
  • PIC responsibility: The pilot in command remains responsible for determining airworthiness before flight (14 CFR 91.7).

Until an operator uses an FAA-accepted electronic record process, mechanics and IAs should continue signing physical logbooks (or their accepted electronic equivalent). AMS reduces duplicate paperwork — it does not remove that obligation by itself.

Product direction: FAA data integrations

Enterprise customers will be able to preview and sync official FAA data — aircraft registry (N-number status), Airworthiness Directive bulletins from DRS, and planned workflows for WebTADS and IACRA (ownership and airman records). AMS already tracks AD compliance locally; live FAA feeds are on the roadmap and will not replace your regulatory obligations or official FAA portals.

Today AMS provides planning stubs and honest previews in the app — not live FAA API connections. Ask about Enterprise FAA integration roadmap →

Product direction: shop digital signature

For maintenance organizations that want AMS to serve as the primary maintenance record — not just planning and archive — we are building a Part 43.9 / 43.11-aligned digital signature workflow for A&Ps and IAs. That capability, together with your operator's compliance procedures and applicable FAA guidance on electronic records, is what closes the gap between "digital copy" and "official logbook replacement."
