    Hey HN! Creator here.

    I built a GitHub Action that runs checks against FAA regulations for aviation maintenance logs, pilot logbooks, and aircraft documentation.

    : Aviation teams still review logs manually against 14 CFR regs. Missing a single required field can ground an aircraft, and A&P mechanics often spend hours on reviews before flights.

    ’ : Running these checks in CI so issues show up during documentation changes instead of right before audits or flights.

    It currently validates docs against Parts 43, 61, and 91 using pattern-based rules, and posts a structured report back on PRs.

    : TypeScript + GitHub Actions.

    I built this over a weekend after seeing how much manual overhead exists in aviation compliance, and I’m curious how far this “policy-as-code for documentation” idea can go.

    Not a certified A&P mechanic — feedback on the rule engine and approach is very welcome.
