Everything that keeps
your operation safe.
Clearwings is an operational platform for aviation ground operations, where compliance becomes part of the work itself. It connects the people, equipment, fluids, qualifications and daily operations needed to work safely — so the evidence is created as the work happens, rather than assembled afterwards.
A normal system records what happened. Clearwings also understands whether the operation is ready for it to happen.
Built one finished feature at a time. This page shows what exists today.
Everything on this page is fabricated. The registrations, people, vehicles and measurements are invented for illustration, and this is not an operational record. The screens, the wording and the rules are the real ones.
The model, in one example
Four things must be right at the same time.
An aircraft cannot take off with ice on its wings, so a rig sprays it clear minutes before departure. Nothing about that job is optional.
Person
Trained for this work, and still current.
Vehicle
Serviceable, and cleared for this fluid. A repair can hold it until the system is proven clean.
Fluid
Right type, tested, and released for use.
Record
What was done, by whom, and what the crew was told.
De-icing is the clearest example, not the whole product. The same shape holds for qualifications, daily checks, vehicles and equipment, fluids, inspections, and the operational decisions that rest on them.
De-icing operations
The job as it is worked
One record from the ready signal to the issued report. The screens are the operator's, not a dashboard built for someone who was not there.

- Type II / Type II fluid (sample) / 75/25 / 06:31
- Post De-icing / Anti-icing check completed.
Clearwings records the treatment. It does not calculate or suggest how long the protection lasts — that judgement belongs to the people qualified to make it, and the app never makes it for them.
Vehicle readiness
Two questions, never one
A rig can be mechanically ready while one fluid is not. A single green badge hides that, so there isn't one: the vehicle answers for itself, and each fluid answers for itself.

Daily checks
The morning, in two answers
The rig is checked, and the fluid is measured. Both are separate concepts and both are recorded once — after that they are evidence the rest of the day can lean on.

A failed answer does not just colour a badge: it opens an owned finding and holds the rig until that finding is resolved.

Derived from the active reference
chart version 4 (2026/27) · limits version 2 (2026/27)
The operator enters what the refractometer read. Clearwings never asks anyone to do the lookup by hand, and the chart it used is named on the record — a freezing point is only as trustworthy as the sheet behind it.
Qualifications
Who may do what, today
Levels, validity and lapses — judged against the day the work happened, not against today. A qualification that ran out overnight cannot retroactively invalidate last night's job.

Dispatch
Today's resources against today's work
The morning board, where waiting jobs meet the rigs and crews that can take them. It owns no truth of its own: every sentence under a waiting job is written by the same gates that would refuse the start.
Waiting to start
- SE-ZXBDraftTwo-step · Stand 7 · Elephant 2
- · This vehicle has no valid Type I fluid check today, so there is no usable Type I freezing point — record today's Type I check before treating.
- SE-ZXCDraftDe-icing only · Stand 3

In treatment
- SE-ZXEIn treatmentOne-step anti-icing · Stand 5 · Elephant 2
Awaiting signature
- SE-ZXFPost-check doneTwo-step · Stand 9 · Elephant 1
The board never judges for itself: the sentences under a waiting job are the vehicle and fluid gates answering, in the order a supervisor resolves them. Rosters, shifts and staffing plans are deliberately not here — that planning belongs to the sister product Schedulelinked. Dispatch is today's matching, nothing more.
Findings
Nothing that failed is left without an owner
Every failed check item becomes a finding automatically — owned, dated, and impossible to close without a cause and a review of whether the fix worked.
Open findings
oldest first — age is the point
- Daily vehicle check: brakes failedHolds its subject
OPEN · Unclassified · Elephant 3 · 0 days old · owned by Program manager
- Concentration test: Type II outside the in-service RI band
ACTION · Limited · Elephant 1 · 7 days old · owned by Program manager
- Drum seal looked damaged on delivery
CLOSED · Local · — · 27 days old · owned by Program manager
A blocking finding holds its vehicle until it is closed, or until the programme manager releases it with a stated reason. The release lifts the hold — it does not close the finding.
Fluid management
A red tag, until someone earns the green one
Fluid arrives, and every container gets the manual's red do-not-use tag. It turns green only when the paperwork is cross-checked and the lot's sample is confirmed within the supplier's specification — by a person qualified to say so.

- IBC-105Quarantined — not to be used
The failed lot was sampled twice — a single bad result never condemns a lot, and a good second result never erases a bad first. A confirmed failure quarantines every container of that lot, because the sample represents the lot, and opens an owned finding. Clearwings does not judge the sample itself: it has no sales-specification tables, and the in-service limits govern something else entirely.
Reference data
The season's sheets are versioned, not hard-coded
Limits and charts change every winter. They enter as a new version, are reviewed against the active one, and only become operative when someone with the mandate activates them.

Live-operations inspection
Management's own checklist, word for word
Twice a season, the programme manager — or someone they nominated, on a dated record — watches a live job against the manual's eleven points. Clearwings holds the wording exactly as the manual has it, and turns every failed point into an owned action.

Crew worked calmly and communicated well. Harness anchoring on the basket needs attention before the next shift.
The failed point opened a finding, owned and dated, without anyone writing it out. Not-applicable is neither a pass nor a failure — it cannot be read later as “checked and fine”, and it opens nothing.

The season
What stands between now and a winter that is ready
Every recurring obligation is judged against the season it belongs to — not a date someone typed once. Nothing is overdue when no season is running, and last winter's inspection never silences this year's requirement.

One of these says cadence not defined by source. The manual requires it periodically but never says how often — so Clearwings shows the question instead of inventing an interval. A made-up due date becomes the truth once it has sat there a season.

Safety data sheets
Where the sheet is — never what it says
A register of the current revision and where to find it. Clearwings does not reproduce or summarise a sheet: a paraphrase that has drifted from the original is at its most dangerous exactly when someone needs it.

The record is the product
Not a form to fill in afterwards. Clearwings is built so the evidence exists because the work happened — and so the awkward questions have answers a year later.
The direction is to connect both sides of the operation — the ground team running the work and the customer requesting the service — in one simple flow, and to bring environmental and glycol stewardship into the same record.
