MRO Compliance Copilot
An AI assistant for aviation mechanics and Part 145 repair stations that watches FAA airworthiness directives and service bulletins in real time and auto-generates the work-package paperwork needed to comply.
aircraft maintenance technicians and Part 145 quality managers at small repair stations
- Real-time ingestion of FAA ADs, SBs, and manufacturer SLs with relevance filter by fleet type
- Auto-draft of Form 8010-4 and job-card steps from any AD text
- Compliance tracker showing what's open, in progress, and recurring for each tail
- Audit-ready export bundles for FAA inspectors
Regulatory shifts like Boeing regaining self-signoff authority change what MRO shops have to prove on every job; small repair stations can't afford a full compliance officer but still face FAA audit risk.
Multiple established vendors explicitly target Part 145 / AD compliance, and Joker Aviation's article confirms small repair stations are an underserved, real segment with documented pain around enterprise pricing traps.MRO Software for Small Part 145 Repair Stations: What Actually Fits ↗MRO Software Platform | Part 145 Repair Station Management | OxMaint ↗
AD/SB tracking + Part 145 compliance is already served by AircraftCloud, OxMaint AD tracking, Airworthy/TBX (merger of Tdata + The AD Toolbox — the legacy incumbent), AviationLogbook, eLeaP LMS, Smart 145 and Joker/Orion; an AI-copilot wrapper is a thin differentiation on a commoditized capability.Airworthiness Directive Tracking Software | AD Compliance ↗TBX Aviation Compliance & Maintenance Software | Airworthy ↗Airworthiness Directive Tracking Software | AD & SB Compliance | OxMaint ↗
Joker Aviation publishes concrete B2B SaaS pricing of $995–$3,995/month base by headcount plus $95 per module, with unlimited users — a clear, real willingness-to-pay benchmark in safety-critical aviation; Boeing self-signoff and rising audit risk push urgency.MRO Software for Small Part 145 Repair Stations: What Actually Fits ↗
FAA Part 145, AD/SB regimes and EASA Part-M are decades-deep regulatory frameworks that only grow more complex (EASA AI trustworthiness framework coming into enforcement Aug 2026, Boeing self-signoff raising audit scrutiny on all MROs); demand is structural, not cyclical.
FAA ADs and manufacturer SBs are publicly available but fragmented across FAA/EASA/TCCA and OEM feeds, and auto-generating FAA Form 8130-3, logbook entries and RTS work-packages in a safety-critical, audit-defensible way is real engineering — feasible but not trivial.
