Airworthiness
Maintenance
Nothing unairworthy leaves the ramp.
Grounds itself
An overdue annual clears the board with nobody remembering
Reported from the ramp
Anybody who flies can file a squawk against the tail
Never edited
A note on a squawk cannot be changed or deleted, by anybody
What changes
An overdue annual clears the board by itself
The aircraft is grounded the moment it comes due, and signing off the last item returns it to service on its own.
Squawks stop living in a group text
Filed against a tail from the aircraft page or the close-out prompt, where the tech will actually look.
Money stays out of the hangar
A technician gets maintenance and the fleet, and reaches no invoice, rate or balance anywhere in the product.
How it works
Soft brake to return to service
Somebody reports it
A title, a description and a tail, from the console or the phone.
Decide if it flies
A squawk grounds nothing on its own. Grounding is an explicit call.
Work it
Notes record progress without closing anything, and cannot be edited later.
Resolve it
What was done, and the date. Verify separately if your shop works that way.
Three things, one page
Only grounding stops a booking
An aircraft with six open squawks and an overdue annual is still bookable unless something grounded it. Making every discrepancy an operational decision would make the grounding decision meaningless.
- Inspections count down, on the meter or the calendar
- Squawks are discrepancies filed against one tail
- Grounding is a flag and a reason on the aircraft itself
See what your fleet actually owes
The standard airworthiness set is a few clicks and a last-done date per tail.
Everything else in here
- Log, triage, and resolve squawks, optionally grounding the aircraft
- Photos and PDFs on a squawk, from the ramp or the desk
- Photos and PDFs on an open inspection, copied onto the signed record
- POH and weight and balance on the aircraft, readable when you book
- AVIATES inspections (annual, 100-hour, ELT and the rest) on hour and date intervals
- Sign off overdue items and return the aircraft to service
- Grounded status visible across scheduling
- Log issues from the native app on the ramp
Common questions
- Does this replace my maintenance logbooks?
- No, and it does not try to. The aircraft logbooks required by 14 CFR 91.417 are the maintenance record, kept by whoever did the work. This is a tracking system: it counts down to what is due, keeps the aircraft off the schedule when it should not fly, and records the sign-offs you entered. A tracking system that called itself a logbook would be the wrong answer to an inspector.
- Does it track Airworthiness Directives?
- It keeps the compliance record for the ADs you enter: number, revision, meter readings, who certified it, and a report that prints the history. It does not tell you which directives apply to your fleet, and it never decides that one does not apply. That determination belongs to a certificated person. If you run ADlog or AVTRAK, name it and we propose nothing.
- Can my mechanic have access without seeing the money?
- Yes. The technician role opens maintenance and the fleet and reaches no invoice, rate or balance. It is why the role exists.
- Does it stop somebody booking a grounded aircraft?
- Every booking type except maintenance is refused with the reason. Grounding does not cancel bookings already on the aircraft, so the desk can see what has to be moved rather than having flights vanish.
- How do I schedule downtime?
- Book it. Choose the maintenance reservation type, pick the aircraft and the window. Nobody is assigned to it, it blocks the window, and it is never invoiced.
