Assets · Aviation · Roadmap · subject to approvals

An airframe's whole life,
in one set of aircraft records.

Business and private jets, light aircraft, helicopters, vintage aircraft and warbirds, microlights, gyrocopters, gliders, charter aircraft. A Vault holds the aircraft records every sale, lease and insurer depends on: the registration, the airframe and engine records, the airworthiness records, the aircraft maintenance records and the aircraft ownership history - the Owner's own, read under scope, never a lookup.

Aviation · what the class covers

Anything with a registration mark and a logbook.

A glider and a business jet share one record type: the same aircraft records, keyed to the registration mark and the serials. Designed for - register interest.

What the Vault holds

Three aircraft logbooks, one set of aircraft maintenance records.

An aircraft is sold on its records, and those records sit in binders held by different hands. The Vault seals each one with its issuer and date, under one digital asset identity. Natural keys stay off-chain; the statutory register wins on any conflict.

Complete aircraft records

What complete aircraft records contain.

A buyer's inspector, a lessor at return and an insurer at renewal each work through the same set. The Vault does not certify anything - the release certificate does that - it seals each document to its issuer and date and shows, under scope, what exists.

The registration itself stays on the national register, which remains the public record of who holds the registration mark; the Vault holds the Owner's documents beside it.

Airframe and engine records

  • Aircraft logbooks for the airframe, each engine and each propeller: hours, cycles and time since overhaul
  • Release certificates for maintenance and for components fitted
  • Airworthiness directive and service bulletin compliance status
  • Modification and repair records, with approved data
  • Weight and balance report and equipment list

Airworthiness, registration and ownership

  • Certificate of registration and the aircraft registration history as the register states it
  • Certificate of airworthiness and airworthiness review certificate, with expiry dates
  • Approved maintenance programme and the last annual inspection
  • Aircraft ownership history: bills of sale, lease and charter agreements, operator appointments
  • Insurance schedule and the latest valuation
Who registers, who reads

Issued by the hangar that signed the release.
Read by those who carry the risk.

Owners grant every scope on their record; opens are logged.

Who registers

  • Operators - the fleet in one Business Vault, through Pro.
  • Maintenance organisations - inspections, overhauls, releases, through the Vault API.
  • Brokers - the sale.
  • Surveyors - condition reports.
  • The Owner - receipts and photographs.

Who reads, under scope

  • Buyers and their inspectors - what exists, who issued it.
  • Lessors - return conditions.
  • Insurers - the last release, by whom.
  • Financiers - under a lender-valuer scope.
  • Registries - the documents behind a registration.
Verified History and Vault Score for this class

Aircraft records, stage by stage. The same published engine.

Each stage lists the evidence it expects. An engine overhaul, as designed:

  1. Removed and inspected

    Removal entry.

  2. Work specified

    Work order.

  3. Released to service

    Release certificate.

  4. Installed and run

    Ground run; hours since overhaul.

Vault Score

A verification score - whether the documents exist, who issued them and that they are unaltered since issue; never a valuation, a credit input or a judgement of the work.

The verification score method, published

Verified History

Every event, document and owner, sealed and graded by issuer: a release certificate outranks a work order, which outranks an Owner's photograph. The aircraft ownership history travels with the airframe at sale.

Market context

In aviation, the aircraft records are the asset.

We quote no aviation market figure until we hold one we can source and date.

The binders today

  • Three logbooks in different hands; a missing page stalls the sale until it is found or rebuilt.
  • Every pre-purchase inspection starts from zero; every lessor and insurer asks for the scans again.

The Vault instead

  • Every release, directive and logbook page sealed to its issuer and date; one set of aircraft records on one timeline.
  • Read under a scope the Owner grants; carried whole to the next Owner at sale.
Questions

Aircraft records: common questions

Lookups, logbooks, airworthiness and what transfers at sale.

What aircraft records does a Vault hold?

The natural keys - registration mark, manufacturer serial number, engine and propeller serials - held off-chain; the aircraft logbooks, release certificates, airworthiness records, maintenance programme, AD and SB compliance, weight and balance, insurance and lease, each sealed on upload with an integrity receipt; and the aircraft ownership history as events with history intact. It is the same asset provenance record every class uses.

Is this a lookup of aircraft ownership history by registration?

No. The national register remains the public record of registration; Property Vault never touches it and offers no lookup by registration mark or serial. Each aircraft's Vault is private by default, read only under scopes the Owner grants, with every open logged.

Do aircraft logbook entries have to be re-typed?

No. Each logbook page, release certificate or directive is uploaded as issued, hashed with an integrity receipt and graded by who issued it: a maintenance organisation's release outranks an operator's entry, which outranks an Owner's photograph. Corrections are stored as new versions; originals are kept.

How are airworthiness records kept current?

As events: inspection, overhaul, AD compliance, incident, lease and sale, each with its issuer and date and the document that proves it. The Vault shows what exists and who signed it; it does not certify airworthiness - the release certificate and the airworthiness review do. The Vault Score is a verification score - whether the documents exist, who issued them and that they are unaltered since issue; never a valuation, a credit input or a judgement of the work.

Do the aircraft records transfer with the airframe at sale?

Yes. Transfer is recorded as its own event and the next Owner receives the whole Verified History intact; any pointer follows it and the aircraft register wins on any conflict. Brokers issue the sale, maintenance organisations write through the property data API - the Vault API - and financiers read under a collateral verification scope.

Is the Aviation class live?

Aviation is designed for - register interest. The engine beneath it - Vault ID, Verified History, sealed documents and the Vault Score - is live in pilot for Property. Fractional structures and aviation finance launch through regulated partners, subject to regulatory approvals.
