Out of service
Harness 03Reserve repack is overdue and needs a certificate before use.Alerts and service state
Know what is out of service before the day starts.
KitNDocs puts out-of-service, overdue and due-soon equipment in one place, so missed work does not turn into a lost flying day.

What needs attention now
Coming up
Reserve G-14Repack due in 12 days, before the next planned flying day.Overdue
Camera pole 02Inspection is late, but this task does not take the equipment out of service.Morning briefing
3 things need attention.
The same groups arrive by email before the day starts. The briefing says what changed and what is still open, then links back to the equipment record.
The morning decision
Start with what needs attention.
The dashboard shows what is out of service, what is late and what is due soon. The briefing sends the same view to the people who need to know.
See what is out of service.
Equipment held by a task, issue, defect or missing certificate is separated from work that is only due soon.
See what is close.
Due-soon work appears early enough to plan it for a quiet day before the next good-weather day.
See why it is held.
Each row links to the task, issue, defect or certificate work behind the state, so the next step is clear.
Dates and readings
Due-soon work can depend on a date or a reading.
Some work falls due on a day. Some work falls due at a reading. KitNDocs judges each limit from the facts the operator recorded.
A date can bring work close.
A reserve repack with a due date appears before the day arrives, using the warning window on that task.
A reading can do the same.
A jump, flight, cycle or airtime limit becomes near or overdue from the newest reading. KitNDocs does not estimate when that reading will arrive.
Service state
See why equipment is out of service.
KitNDocs derives service state from records that say what happened and what clears it, rather than storing an in-service tickbox.
- an overdue task that takes equipment out of service
- completed work waiting for a certificate
- an issue or defect that says the equipment must not be used
- new equipment that has not yet been certified as serviceable
Two familiar cases
The same alert pattern, sport by sport.
Skydiving
A reserve can show a repack in Coming up, then move to Out of service if the task that takes it out of service becomes overdue. The record still names the task and the certificate needed after the work.
Paragliding
A tandem wing can show a trim check before its date, while a carabiner inspection can be measured by the reading the operator records. No usage rate is guessed.
Boundary
KitNDocs does not decide airworthiness from a catalogue.
A model or category helps a person find equipment. It does not decide whether that equipment is in service, and KitNDocs does not predict future usage from past readings.
