The difference

One answer. Less time looking.

Take a routine pre-inspection question: when was the last annual, and what time was recorded? Here's the difference between reading paper pages and checking a cited answer.

The paper way

Read until you find it

Best case, the books are complete and in order.

  • Locate the right logbook in the stack
  • Work backward page by page to the last annual
  • Decode the handwriting and the shorthand
  • Cross-check the tach and airframe times by hand
  • Repeat for the engine and prop books

With TachTime Insights

Ask and verify

Grounded only in that aircraft's own entries.

  • Open the aircraft and tap Insights
  • Ask, or tap “When was the last annual inspection?”
  • Read a plain answer with the times already pulled
  • Click the cited entry to confirm it against the record
  • Move on to the next question

Illustrative comparison of a single research question. Real times vary with the condition and completeness of the books, but the pattern holds: you spend your time verifying an answer instead of searching for one.

Real questions

Plan with context

See recorded maintenance status before the aircraft is in your bay.

Review inspections, ADs, and certifications recorded in the aircraft logbooks. See which items are marked current, due soon, or overdue, then check the original records before making a maintenance decision.

Inspections

See the inspection dates and times found in the aircraft's records.

Airworthiness directives

Find logged AD-related work to check against official requirements.

Certifications

Review recorded certification details while planning the next service.

Built to be trusted

The answer matters. So does the source.

You shouldn't have to take an AI answer on faith. Insights shows the aircraft logbook entries behind its answers so you can verify them before relying on the information.

Only this aircraft's records

Insights draws answers from the uploaded records for that aircraft, not a generic aircraft database.

See the exact logbook entry

Each answer identifies the supporting entries. Open them to read the original record yourself.

Know when the record is incomplete

If an answer isn't supported by the entries, Insights is designed to say so. It does not determine regulatory compliance.

Airframe, engine, and propeller

Ask across all three aircraft logbooks instead of searching each book separately.

Where it pays off

For the work that starts with reading aircraft logbooks

Pre-purchase

Review the maintenance history and open the exact entries a prospective buyer wants to check.

Annual inspections

Look up last inspection dates, times, and previous repairs before you begin the annual.

AD research

Find logged AD-related work to compare with the official directive and applicable requirements.

Return to service

Review what was recorded and when before making your own return-to-service decision.

How it works

Ask. Verify. Get back to work.

Once an aircraft's maintenance logbooks are uploaded, finding a previous entry takes three steps.

STEP 01

Open the aircraft

Choose the aircraft and open Insights. Its uploaded airframe, engine, and propeller entries are ready to search.

STEP 02

Ask in plain English

Type the question you'd ask another mechanic, such as 'When was the last annual?'

STEP 03

Verify the sources

Read the answer, open the entries it cites, and check the original records before you sign anything.
