Built for the flight line,
not the boardroom
Snap a part. Get a cited answer.
Photograph any component, panel, or document. HangarBrain identifies the part against FAA Type Certificate Data Sheets and pulls the relevant 14 CFR sections, ADs, and manufacturer SBs — with inline citation badges on every claim.
Every entry, one tap from an AI answer.
Save any AI answer directly to a structured logbook entry — N-number, ATA chapter, part number, AD reference, and your notes. Search by aircraft, date range, or directive number. Export clean, court-ready PDF logbook pages for annuals and sales.
Know your AD status before the inspector asks.
Add aircraft by N-number. Track every applicable AD across your fleet — compliance status, due dates, recurring intervals, and mechanic initials. Generate a PDF compliance certificate for annuals and aircraft sales in under 30 seconds.
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.

From the hangar, not the pitch deck.
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.
