Why HangarBrain

Not a chatbot wrapper.
Not an enterprise MRO tracker.

Generic AI tools hallucinate FAA regs with no citations. Enterprise MRO platforms cost $500–$2,000/month and are built for fleet managers — not the solo A&P on the flight line. HangarBrain was built specifically for certificated mechanics.

I pulled an AD on a Cessna 182 fuel system during a preflight. Took me 90 seconds to get the relevant CFR section with the citation right there. Used to spend 20 minutes digging through FAA's website. This is the tool I've been waiting for.

We're a Part 145 shop with eight mechanics. The Station tier's multi-user logbook alone is worth the price. QA used to be three spreadsheets and a prayer. Now I can pull any mechanic's entry by N-number in under ten seconds.

I teach A&P students and other AI tools gave them flat-out wrong torque specs with no sources. HangarBrain shows the FAA handbook citation every time. That's the difference between a learning tool and a liability.
