CURRENT GA BUILD HELPER VERSION: 1.1.2

Everything it does

A builder's log, the 51% arithmetic, the paperwork, and the hand-off at the end — in one file that works with no internet.

The overview

Where the build is, in one screen: hours, entries, photographs, tasks scored, Phase I, spend, and the major portion.

The overview of a build in progress: hours, tasks scored, spend, and the major-portion arithmetic

The builder's log

Who, when and where, as fields — because that is what AC 20-27G ¶7h asks the record to show.

The builder's log: who did the work, when, and where

Dated entries with hours, the person who did the work, and where it was done
Photographs attached to the entry they belong to
Entries markable as inspected, naming who witnessed it
Commercial assistance recorded as such, so it lands in the right column of the arithmetic

Tasks and the 51% rule

The FAA's own fabrication and assembly checklist, with the 51% working alongside it

The FAA's fixed-wing fabrication and assembly checklist, task for task
One point per task, split between manufacturer, commercial and your own fabrication and assembly
Over-allocation flagged: a task cannot be worth more than the one point it is
AC 20-27G Table 1 ceiling on contracted work, worked out from the manufacturer's percentage
The arithmetic, never the determination

The project, the kit, and the aircraft

The project: airframe, engine, propeller and kit

Airframe, engine and propeller with part, model and serial numbers and the manufacturer
Kit chosen from the FAA's published National Kit Evaluation Team listing, or typed in by hand
Registration, certification and operating-limitations details kept with the aircraft
Type-certificated engine and propeller set the Phase I hours — 25 or 40 — for you

Equipment and weight and balance

Equipment recorded as it is fitted, with weight and arm

Weight and balance, worked out from the equipment you entered

What it is costing

Costing: purchases, and a budget worked out from them

Purchases with supplier, order number, lines, shipping and tax
Spend worked out from the purchases, so a figure is never entered twice
Paid tracked separately from arrived
Budget by category, with what is left against each line

Certification and the FAA forms

Certification: the FAA forms, prefilled from the project

Forms prefilled from the project data you already entered
Judgements, certifications, and inspector's or notary's entries left blank on purpose
A cover sheet recording what was transcribed onto the form and what was deliberately left out
A signed form is your statement, not the app's

Avionics, wiring and the reference shelf

Avionics configuration, kept with the aircraft

Wiring brought across from GA Wire Helper

The hardware and torque reference

Avionics configuration kept with the aircraft
Wiring read in from a GA Wire Helper project file
Hardware and torque reference, and the unit converter shared with the other two apps
Forms & Regs: the paragraphs this app cites, in full
