Is it necessary to enter all aircraft in the inventory, including ultra-lights, helicopters, etc?
Part of the ongoing refinement to the collection of aircraft data will be to decide whether to continue to ask that all types be entered. Whether the helicopter, ultra-lights, gliders and military will continue to be required will be determined in the current phase of the project. Until the website instructs you differently, please continue to enter all types of based aircraft in the inventory.
Currently, single-engine, multi-engine, jet and helicopters (SMJH) are required aircraft types and are the only counts moved to the Form 5010-1. Since other types of aircraft do not always have tail numbers, those counts are not included for review. Entering the other aircraft types (military, ultralights, etc) is not required since they can’t be validated, but you are welcome to do so in order to have a complete aircraft list for your facility.
