FAA Airworthiness Directive Fleet Matcher

Stop manually scanning aviation rule notices for aircraft you operate, maintain, insure, finance, sell, or support. This Actor monitors Federal Register publications from the FAA for airworthiness directives and proposed directives, then matches their title, abstract, and excerpts to your aircraft and engine watchlist.

Use it as a broad FAA AD feed or provide phrases such as Boeing 787-8, Airbus A320, Bell 407, or CFM LEAP-1A to return only relevant publications. Every result includes official HTML and PDF links, publication type and date, extracted AD and docket numbers when present, matched fleet terms, and a priority score.

Source and safety caveat

The Actor queries the Federal Register API for publications attributed to the Federal Aviation Administration. Text matching is a triage aid, not a substitute for an approved regulatory-compliance system. Terminology can vary, an abstract may omit affected variants, proposed rules can change, and a publication may be relevant even when a watchlist phrase does not match.

Always read the complete official document, applicability section, effective dates, incorporated material, and FAA instructions. Aircraft owners and operators remain responsible for determining applicability and compliance with current regulations and airworthiness directives.
