The compliance
deadlines you
can’t afford to miss.
Every authority is rewriting the rulebook between now and 2027. We monitor EASA ED Decisions, ICAO Annex 6/10 amendments, FAA ACs and UK CAA CAPs, plot them on a live radar and tag the ones we can take off your plate.

The radar is an indication, not legal advice. We update it as decisions are published; the ultimate authority is whatever NPA, ED Decision or rulemaking applies to your AOC. We’d be glad to take you through what’s relevant to your fleet — that’s often a 20-minute call, not a five-day project.
