Document discrepancies, assign severity, attach photos, and link to the logbook entries and maintenance that resolve them.
Every pilot has discovered something on preflight that needs attention — a worn tire, a sticky door latch, a nav light out, an oil leak at the accessory case. Squawks gives you a dedicated place to document discrepancies the moment you find them, track their status, and link them to the maintenance that resolves them. No more sticky notes, text messages, or hoping you'll remember to tell your A&P.
Create a squawk in seconds: describe the issue, assign a severity level (grounding, non-grounding, or cosmetic), set a status (open, in progress, or resolved), and attach photos directly from your phone's camera. Detailed squawk records include the date discovered, who reported it, aircraft times at discovery, and free-form notes for additional context. Photo documentation captures what you see right now — invaluable when discussing the issue with a mechanic days or weeks later.
The squawk list gives you a clear view of every open, in-progress, and resolved issue on your aircraft. Filter by status or severity to focus on what matters most. Open grounding squawks are surfaced on the Dashboard so they're impossible to overlook during preflight planning. When a squawk is resolved, link it to the logbook entry documenting the repair to create a complete paper trail from discovery to fix.
For partnerships and shared aircraft, squawks become a shared communication channel. When one partner discovers an issue, every authorized user can see it immediately — along with photos, severity, and status updates. No more "did you know about the…" conversations. The airplane's issues are visible to everyone who flies it.
Over time, your squawk history builds a valuable record of your aircraft's operational reliability. Recurring issues become obvious. Resolution times provide insight into maintenance responsiveness. And resolved squawks linked to logbook entries create the kind of documented maintenance narrative that inspectors and prospective buyers appreciate.
