Recording airworthiness directives and service bulletins

How to record ADs and service bulletins in FlyerOS, work out which aircraft they apply to, and keep compliance and supersession straight.

Last reviewed

Airworthiness directives (ADs) and service bulletins are the mandatory and advisory actions issued against a type, an engine or a component. FlyerOS records them once and works out which of your aircraft they touch, so nothing is missed and nothing is actioned twice.

Applicability is worked out for you

When you record a directive, you set what it applies to, a type, an engine type, or a serial-number range. FlyerOS then resolves which aircraft in your fleet are affected, including the serial-range reasoning, rather than leaving you to check each tail by hand.

Compliance, per aircraft

Against each affected aircraft you record compliance: when it was done, at what hours or cycles, and by whom. A directive that has not been complied with on an aircraft it applies to is visible, not buried.

Recurring directives become requirements

Some directives repeat at an interval. When you record compliance with a recurring directive, FlyerOS creates the next occurrence as a scheduled maintenance requirement, so it lands in the due-list like anything else and cannot be forgotten.

Supersession

When a later directive supersedes an earlier one, the earlier one is marked superseded and the current position is clear, so you are always working to the version that applies now.

What FlyerOS does not do

There is no automatic feed of new directives from the CAA or EASA, and the product says so plainly. You record the directives that apply to your fleet; FlyerOS keeps the applicability, compliance and supersession straight from there.
