By following this guide, you will use the compliance dashboard to monitor fleet-wide compliance health, review Required Inspection Item (RII) catalogs, manage compliance documents, and identify aircraft with overdue or upcoming maintenance obligations.
Who should read this: Directors of maintenance, quality assurance managers, compliance managers, and accountable executives who need a consolidated view of fleet airworthiness and maintenance compliance.Required permission: maintenance_ops — read to view the compliance dashboard.Regulatory basis: 14 CFR 135.427 requires Part 135 operators to identify required inspection items (RII) in their continuing airworthiness maintenance program. 14 CFR 91.403 places general airworthiness responsibility on the owner or operator. 14 CFR 91.417 requires maintenance records to be retained and available for inspection by the FAA.

​
The Compliance Dashboard

Navigate to Maintenance > Compliance Dashboard for a consolidated view of fleet compliance status.

​
Fleet health summary

The top section displays fleet-wide metrics:

​
Per-aircraft compliance

Below the summary, a card for each aircraft shows:
  • Aircraft registration and type
  • Overall compliance percentage
  • Count of overdue, due soon, and current items
  • Active MEL deferrals for that tail number
  • Open discrepancies count
  • Link to the aircraft’s full maintenance detail
Aircraft with overdue items appear first, sorted by the number of overdue items descending. Color-coded borders indicate compliance health:
  • Green border — All items current
  • Amber border — Items due soon but none overdue
  • Red border — One or more overdue items

​
Required Inspection Items (RII) Catalog

Navigate to Maintenance > RII Catalog to manage your operator’s Required Inspection Items per 14 CFR 135.427.

​
What are RIIs?

Required Inspection Items are maintenance tasks that, if not properly performed, could result in a failure, malfunction, or defect endangering the safe operation of the aircraft. 14 CFR 135.427(b)(3) requires that each RII have a separate inspection performed by an authorized person (inspector) other than the person who performed the maintenance.

​
Add an RII

Per 14 CFR 135.427(b)(3), Required Inspection Items must be inspected by a person authorized under 14 CFR 43.7 who is not the same person that performed the maintenance. Ensure your RII procedures enforce this dual-inspection requirement.

​
Compliance Documents

Navigate to Maintenance > Compliance Documents to manage regulatory and compliance documentation. This page provides a central repository for:
  • FAA-approved maintenance program documents
  • Minimum Equipment Lists (operator-specific MELs)
  • Operations Specifications (OpSpecs) related to maintenance
  • Training program documentation for maintenance personnel
  • Reliability program manuals
  • Tool calibration program documentation

​
Upload a document

  1. Click Upload Document
  2. Select the document type and enter a title
  3. Upload the file (PDF, DOC, or image)
  4. The document is stored securely and linked to your workspace’s compliance record

​
Version control

When uploading a revised version of an existing document, the system retains the previous version for historical reference. Each version is timestamped and attributed to the uploader.

​
Using the Dashboard for Audits

The compliance dashboard is designed to support FAA surveillance inspections and audits:
Before an FAA inspection, review the compliance dashboard to identify and address any overdue items. Export the fleet compliance summary and per-aircraft status as a pre-audit preparation checklist. Having a clean compliance dashboard demonstrates effective airworthiness management to FAA inspectors.
  • Fleet compliance percentage demonstrates your overall maintenance program effectiveness
  • Per-aircraft cards provide drill-down capability to any specific aircraft’s records
  • RII catalog shows your 14 CFR 135.427 compliance program structure
  • Compliance documents provide quick access to your approved maintenance program documents

Manage Due Items

Due items are the primary source of compliance tracking data.

AD/SB Compliance

AD compliance status feeds into the fleet compliance metrics.

MEL Deferrals

Active MEL deferrals are tracked on the compliance dashboard.

Reliability Analysis

Reliability data supports your continuing analysis and surveillance.
