UK CAA AD Tracker
Track UK CAA airworthiness directives per aircraft — applicability, method, last complied and next due, with overdue badges.
The UK system layers three sources — state-of-design ADs, retained EASA-era directives, and UK-specific requirements — and a G-reg owner tracks all three.

Free uk caa ad tracker: every applicable directive with method, dates and hour basis on one badge-watched board — built for the UK CAA system's specific structure.
About UK CAA AD Tracker
The UK system layers three sources — state-of-design ADs, retained EASA-era directives, and UK-specific requirements — and a G-reg owner tracks all three — that's the sentence that defines AD tracking under UK CAA. The fuller picture: post-brexit, uk-registered aircraft follow uk caa airworthiness directives: the caa adopts state-of-design ads and issues its own (including the g-reg-specific ones in cap 747 generic requirements). Keep the standing answer here: directive, method, dates, hour basis, badge. Research establishes the list; this board keeps it alive between inspections.

Frequently asked questions
How does the UK CAA AD system work structurally?+
post-Brexit, UK-registered aircraft follow UK CAA airworthiness directives: the CAA adopts state-of-design ADs and issues its own (including the G-reg-specific ones in CAP 747 generic requirements). For tracking purposes the implication is the layering: the UK system layers three sources — state-of-design ADs, retained EASA-era directives, and UK-specific requirements — and a G-reg owner tracks all three. Your reconciled list must reflect every applicable layer, which is why this board's reference field is free-form — FAA-style numbers, UK CAA references and adopted-directive citations all coexist on one list.
Who is legally responsible for AD compliance?+
The owner/operator — mechanics and inspectors verify and certify compliance at inspections, but the continuous obligation between inspections sits with whoever operates the aircraft. That's the gap this board covers: repetitive directives whose intervals land between annuals are the owner's watch, and 'my mechanic tracks that' is exactly the assumption that produces overdue findings.
Is this tool private — who can see my entries?+
Only you. Entries live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device, so there is no account, no cloud sync and no one else with access. Because the data is device-local, export a CSV backup before clearing browser data or switching computers.
Can I get my data out if I switch systems later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your directive compliance list, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial software, archive it with your files, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is deliberate: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
