CheckBird Hub:
from images to signed off findings

Review inspection data in one place, with AI assistance that surfaces likely findings first. Findings are organized by structural location, and every aircraft builds a damage history you can compare over time and results flow into your MRO system.

  • AI-assisted damage detection, with the reviewer in control
  • Damage records per aircraft, comparable across inspections
  • Reporting aligned with FAA and EASA requirements, integrations with MRO systems
