Jeff Smith, a student at Mississippi State University, has put out a call for help from general aviation pilots.
“Some classmates and I are working on a group project this semester related to software adoption and use among pilots within the general aviation community,” he explains.
The group has posted a brief survey that they hope general aviation pilots will complete. The survey asks about “any software you might currently use for maintenance tracking and air-readiness and what developments you might like to see in those areas.”
The researchers note that once a pilot completes the survey, it would be a big help if the pilot forwards the link to the survey to others who could help in the collection of data.
“The more accurate survey results we receive, the better the results of our project,” Smith says.

If this can get to them, I have a spreadsheet that is specific to certain aircraft and that is how we published the state of the aircraft in one club I was in. And the problem is, one person had to go to the hangar once a week and get the TACH time to update the charts which would turn AD maint issues, and Oil Change YELLOW or RED.
I still have that spreadsheet. Our current partnership does not use it.
Thank you for the offer. We would love to have the data. I could not find you on linkedin. I think I might have found you on Facebook and I sent a message. If you have another platform to touch base, let me know.
