Maintenance items
Flights seen on ADS-B with no log
This aircraft was tracked flying (via the ADS-B kiosk) but no uploaded log covers these times. Upload the log from the G3X card, or mark it as not a flight.
Logbook
Manual meter readings
For engine time that has no log, such as a ground run or a flight whose log was lost. The higher of the latest log and the latest reading counts as current time.
Borescope inspections
Lycoming's procedure (IO-390-D maintenance manual 72-30, p. 198):
at each 100-hour or annual inspection, remove a spark plug and, with the piston at bottom dead centre on the power stroke, look at the combustion chamber, piston top, cylinder walls and the exhaust valve & seat;
then at bottom dead centre after the intake stroke, the intake valve & seat. What to look for and what to do about it:
Table 3, p. 199.
Compression readings: Lycoming SI 1191A, p. 1-2.
Maintenance summary
Earlier summaries
Claude settings
Summaries are written by Claude () through your Anthropic API account. Each one sends the tracker's item status, times, sign-offs, engine-trend numbers and aircraft details to Anthropic's API, and costs roughly 10–20 cents. The key is stored on NEWTON and is never shown again after saving.

Instruments & V-speeds
The replay's gauges, colour bands and V-speed marks for this aircraft. Start from the closest preset, then match your POH and engine limits.
Engine-trend settings
Baseline is the mean of the previous N flights with enough steady cruise. A flight is flagged when it sits further than the threshold from its baseline; drift is flagged when the latest few flights' mean has moved past the threshold. Leave a box blank to use the default.

Phone alerts
- Install the free ntfy app on your phone (App Store / Google Play).
- In the app tap +, and subscribe to topic
- and check that it arrives, then turn alerts on.
Server, topic and access token
Anyone who knows the topic name can read these alerts on the public ntfy.sh server, so it is a long random name. Use your own ntfy server (e.g. an Unraid container) and an access token if you'd rather keep them private.

Backup
The database takes a daily snapshot on the server (last 30 are kept) and a fresh one every 6 hours. A nightly job on the PC copies the database, the logbook and every log file to OneDrive, so a failed server disk loses nothing. You can also download everything you've entered (items, sign-offs, readings, settings) as JSON.
