FAA Compliance
FAA Part 43 & 145 Compliance, Built In — Not Bolted On
For aviation maintenance corporations, BetterBuilts AIO enforces dual-authorization, Form 8130-3 traceability, tool calibration checks, PIN-based signatures, and immutable audit logs — so every return to service is audit-ready.
Part 43 & Part 145 Compliance
Purpose-built support for FAA-certificated repair stations. Every service order captures the data points required by Part 43.9 and Part 145 — work category, approved data references, and return-to-service records.
- Part 43.9 work description tracking
- Part 145 repair station certificates
- Work category classification
Dual-Authorization Workflows
Technician and inspector sign-offs are separated by design. Each completed step requires independent inspector verification before an aircraft can be returned to service — the core of FAA dual-authorization.
- Technician / inspector separation
- Per-step inspector verification
- IA verification tracking
Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Tracking
Every installed part can carry its Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificate number, batch/lot number, and shelf-life expiration — giving you full parts traceability for audit-ready records.
- 8130-3 certificate numbers
- Batch and lot traceability
- Shelf-life expiration tracking
Tool Calibration Management
Track calibration intervals, due dates, and lab certificates for every tool. Return-to-service is blocked when any assigned tool is past its calibration due date — so you never sign off with out-of-cal equipment.
- Calibration interval tracking
- Due-date blocking on return to service
- Calibration history per tool
PIN-Based Electronic Signatures
Return-to-service sign-off and step verification use PIN-based electronic signatures, tying each approval to a specific certificated individual — A&P, IA, or Repairman — with a tamper-evident audit trail.
- PIN-verified electronic signatures
- Certificate number capture
- Per-individual accountability
Return-to-Service Record Locking
Once an aircraft is returned to service, the record is locked. Any amendment requires a new audit entry with a mandatory reason for change — preserving the integrity of the original sign-off.
- Immutable locked records
- Mandatory change justification
- Amendment audit entries
Immutable Audit Logs
Every FAA-auditable event — order creation, step completion, part installation, return to service — is written to an immutable audit log with actor, certificate, timestamp, and before/after values.
- Tamper-evident event log
- Full before/after change capture
- Per-actor certificate tracking
Aircraft & Component Tracking
Capture aircraft registration (N-number), total time (TTACH/TTSM), discrepancies found, and approved data references on every order — the details inspectors and the FAA expect to see.
- N-number registration tracking
- Total time on aircraft/component
- Discrepancy documentation
