Airworthiness Directives

CAMO AD catalogue with type and aircraft applicability, modification embodiment, not-applicable stamps, and ARC AD/SB qualifying checks.

Overview

Airworthiness directives belong in the continuing airworthiness record — not a side spreadsheet. The AirOS Airworthiness Directives domain is the CAMO catalogue of ADs: draft, current, superseded, and cancelled statuses; type-level applicability that adds outstanding fleet aircraft of that type; and per-aircraft complied, certified, or not-applicable stamps.

Link a modification to an AD. When that modification is embodied and certified on an aircraft, AirOS stamps those linked ADs as complied on that aircraft — with the modification as the method. Embodiment does not mark unrelated ADs complete, and it does not close recurring AMP tasks or due items that are not those linked ADs. Partial work (uncertified embodiment) does not stamp compliance.

Service bulletins are tracked through modifications and engineering orders; the ARC AD/SB qualifying check reads this AD catalogue plus linked embodiment status. AI Create reads uploaded AD documents, matches catalogue types and named registrations, presents suggested links for review, and lets you discard failed drafts. An empty catalogue is never treated as proof that no ADs apply.

Features

  • AD catalogue: In-force, superseded, and cancelled airworthiness directives as first-class CAMO records
  • Type & aircraft applicability: Adding a type toggles outstanding aircraft of that type onto the AD; specific registrations can be linked from the document
  • Modification embodiment: Certified embodiment of a modification that is linked to an AD stamps that AD complied on the aircraft. Unrelated ADs and uncertified work are left outstanding
  • Not applicable stamps: Mark an AD N/A on an aircraft when it does not apply — with the same audit discipline as compliance
  • AI Create from the AD PDF: Extract product type, registrations, and named modifications; review suggested links and discard failed drafts before save
  • ARC AD/SB checks: Outstanding applicable ADs block ARC readiness and surface as suggested findings until complied or marked not applicable. The check assists the reviewer; it does not issue the ARC

AD compliance as a continuing record

Airworthiness directives are not a quarterly export. The Airworthiness Directives catalogue is the CAMO list of ADs — current, superseded, and cancelled — with type and aircraft applicability, complied or not-applicable stamps, and a path through modification embodiment.

How an AD reaches the aircraft

  1. The AD is in the catalogue (typed today; authority ingest is designed to refresh the list).
  2. Adding a type toggles outstanding fleet aircraft of that type onto the AD. Named registrations in the document can be linked directly.
  3. Link a modification. When embodiment is certified, AirOS stamps those linked ADs complied on the aircraft, with the modification as the method. Unrelated ADs and uncertified (partial) embodiment are not stamped complete. Recurring AMP due items remain on the maintenance forecast.
  4. Staff can still mark not applicable when the AD does not apply.

AI Create reads the uploaded AD, matches catalogue types, and presents suggested links. Review them before save, and discard failed or wrong drafts from the same modal. Empty catalogues are never treated as proof that no ADs apply.

How this feeds the ARC

The ARC documental item for AD/SB compliance uses this catalogue as a qualifying check — separate from OCR evidence. Outstanding applicable ADs block airworthiness review readiness and surface as suggested findings. Staff still tick the checklist. The check is assistance, not an automatic ARC decision. Service-bulletin status sits on the linked modification or engineering-order record.
