Modules/Maintenance

The tail that cannot fly today stops being a surprise.

Squawks, inspections, directives, deferrals and work orders all resolve to one question: is this aircraft airworthy right now.

Illustrative data. Aircraft, people and records shown here are examples.

What maintenance covers.

Squawks, from report to resolution

Pilots report squawks at checkout with a severity. Each one is tracked to resolution, deferred to the MEL, or turned into a work order — and a critical squawk grounds the aircraft rather than waiting for someone to notice.

  • Severity levels and resolution tracking
  • Defer-to-MEL flow
  • Critical squawks ground the tail

Airworthiness directives and service bulletins

A full directive catalogue with per-aircraft compliance records, compliance documents attached, and overdue status computed rather than remembered. A grounding AD blocks dispatch on that tail automatically.

  • Per-aircraft applicability with FAA cross-reference
  • Automatic overdue computation
  • Grounding ADs enforce at the dispatch board

MEL and CDL deferrals with real expiry

Categories A through D with expiry calculated from the deferral date, plus resolution and extension workflows. Active dispatch conditions are shown to the pilot at check-in, where they matter.

  • Categories A, B, C and D
  • Auto-calculated expiry, extensions and resolutions
  • Dispatch conditions surfaced at pre-flight

Inspections and component lifecycles

Hours-based and calendar-based recurring items with next-due dates calculated from real flight data. Components carry TSN, TSO, TBO and cycles, and their hours update on every flight completion rather than at month end.

  • 100-hour, annual, oil and calendar items
  • TSN, TSO, TBO and cycle tracking per component
  • Installation, removal, overhaul, inspection and repair events
  • Component hours update automatically at checkout

Work orders that cost themselves

Sequential work-order numbers, labour and parts tracked with auto-calculated totals, and a status workflow from draft to completion. Linked items pull in the squawks, ADs, components and MELs the order closes out, and sign-off records the inspector’s IA certificate number.

  • Labour and parts costing with running totals
  • Linked squawks, ADs, components and MEL items
  • Inspector sign-off with IA certificate number
  • AOG orders ground the aircraft on creation

Questions about maintenance.

Does maintenance actually stop a flight, or just warn?
It stops it. A grounding AD, an overdue AD, an expired MEL, a maintenance hold or an AOG work order all block dispatch on that aircraft. The dispatcher sees the reason rather than a generic failure.
Do component hours update on their own?
Yes. Every flight checkout writes the Hobbs and tach reading through to the components on that aircraft, so TSN, TSO and TBO stay current without a monthly reconciliation.
Can I use this without the Scheduling module?
Yes, though the two are better together: maintenance is what tells scheduling an aircraft cannot fly, and scheduling is what feeds maintenance its hours.

The rules don’t change. Whether anyone checks them does.

Put them somewhere they cannot be forgotten on a busy Saturday. Set your school up in an afternoon and fly the rest of the week on it.
