The record follows the aircraft
Most small UAS programs track maintenance the way they track paperwork: by event, by shift, or by whoever happened to be on the flight line. The aircraft itself ends up with a scattered history spread across spreadsheets, message threads, and printed forms.
Aircraft-centered continuity inverts that. Every discrepancy, corrective action, parts blocker, and release decision is attached to a tail number and travels with it across workspaces, teams, and deployments.
What continuity gives you
- A single binder per aircraft, from first acceptance to retirement or expenditure.
- Maintenance symbols that carry an unambiguous release meaning.
- Parts blockers that are visible before a mission is planned, not after.
- Readiness answers that do not depend on who is on shift.
Prototype status
This is an early concept build. Nothing here constitutes an airworthiness authority or a release-to-service decision system; it models the workflow so operators can evaluate whether the structure fits their programs.
