A reserve parachute that's overdue for repack is not legal to jump. Neither is an AAD that's past its service interval. These aren't paperwork technicalities — they're hard maintenance requirements that affect your safety and your ability to board the aircraft.
Jump Logs tracks both so you know well in advance when something is coming due.
What you track in the gear section
The app's gear section covers three equipment types: rigs, canopies, and AADs. Each has its own fields.
For a canopy, you record whether it's a main or reserve. For a reserve, the app asks for the last repacked date and the next repack due date. You also record make and model, serial number, and date of manufacture.
For an AAD, the key field is the next service date — the date by which the manufacturer requires a maintenance check. You also record make and model, serial number, and date of manufacture.
For a rig (container), you record make and model, serial number, and date of manufacture.
When does the app remind you?
Jump Logs sends a notification 14 days before a reserve repack is due. The same applies to AAD service deadlines. This gives you enough runway to book in with a rigger without being caught short.
The 14-day lead time is adjustable in settings if you'd prefer more or less notice.
Attaching documentation
When adding or editing a gear item, you can attach a photo — useful for storing a photo of the repack card or the AAD service certificate alongside the record. The app accepts image files up to 10 MB.
What this doesn't replace
Jump Logs is a personal tracking tool. It does not replace the physical repack card in your container, the rigger's records, or any documentation required by your governing body. If there's ever a discrepancy between the app and your physical documentation, the physical documentation takes precedence.
The app is there to make sure you see the deadline coming — not to act as the official record.
Setting it up
Go to the Gear tab in the app and add your equipment. For a reserve, tap Canopy → Reserve and fill in the dates. For an AAD, tap AAD and enter the next service date. The app will take it from there.
