On the ground, or before the aircraft lands.

How it works

The decisions are yours.
The legwork is ours.

Follow one example event, from the crew’s report to wheels down.

  1. 01 Report

    Your crew reports it once.

    Type it or say it. AI drafts a clear request, Runbook alerts your maintenance team, and nothing goes out until your team confirms it.

  2. 02 Match

    The right repair shops, all at once.

    Runbook sends the request to shops matched on airport, aircraft type and capability. Offers come back with scope, arrival time and a quote, side by side.

  3. 03 Choose

    You choose who works on it.

    Pick one repair shop, or combine offers to cover the job.

    Your team authorizes the work. Scope and payment stay between you and the shop; Runbook never approves spend or return to service.

  4. 04 Coordinate

    Only decisions reach you.

    Runbook answers routine questions from repair shops using details you’ve already shared. Maintenance calls, like accepting an overhauled part, come to your team.

  5. 05 Arrive

    On the ramp before it lands.

    Acknowledgements, arrivals and progress stay on one event record your whole team can follow.

What does Runbook Aviation do?

Runbook Aviation helps business aviation maintenance teams coordinate aircraft-on-ground (AOG) events and scheduled work. Report the issue once, receive offers from relevant repair shops, mobile mechanics or parts suppliers, and keep conversations and progress attached to one event. Your team chooses the providers and makes the maintenance decisions.

Is Runbook only for AOGs, or can I use it for scheduled maintenance?

You can use Runbook for both urgent AOG support and scheduled maintenance. Share the aircraft, location, work needed and timing so providers can respond to the actual request. Setting up your team and aircraft ahead of time also makes the next unexpected event easier to report.

What information do I need to report an aircraft issue?

Start with the aircraft, its location, what the crew observed and when support is needed. Include useful details such as fault messages, photos or access constraints when available. You do not need to diagnose the problem first. Runbook helps organize the report, and your team reviews and confirms the request before it goes to providers.

How does Runbook find the right repair shops or mobile mechanics?

Runbook checks the request against recorded provider coverage, aircraft types and service capabilities. Eligible providers can clarify the scope and submit their own availability, timing and quote. Your team compares the offers and can select one provider or combine providers for different parts of the job.

Can Runbook find support for my aircraft and location?

Options depend on the aircraft type, airport or service location, work required and provider availability. Coverage is checked for each request; Runbook does not promise a provider at every airport or a guaranteed response or arrival time. Each provider confirms what it can offer, and your team verifies suitability before authorizing work.

Who approves the maintenance work and the cost?

Your team retains provider selection, work authorization and spending decisions. The selected provider is responsible for its scope, qualifications and work. Runbook coordinates the exchange; it does not diagnose faults, authorize repairs or approve return to service. Maintenance terms, invoices and payments stay directly between the operator and provider.

Can repair shops see each other’s offers or conversations?

No. Each invited provider has a private conversation with the operator, and competing offers stay private. Relevant coordination updates can be shared between selected participants when the job requires it, without opening another provider’s conversation. Runbook staff participation is attributed in the event.

What does Runbook cost, and who pays the repair shop?

Operator access uses Runbook coordination plans and event credits. Your workspace shows the plan, credits and any additional event charge before you proceed with provider outreach. Those charges are separate from maintenance costs, which you agree and pay directly with the provider. Joining the provider network is free, with access reviewed by the Runbook team.

Do I need to download an app to use Runbook?

No. Operators and onboarded providers can use Runbook in a browser on a phone or computer. Operators can sign up, add their team and aircraft, and start a request on the web. Dedicated iOS and Android apps are coming soon.

How can my repair shop, mobile service or parts business join?

Request access through the For repair shops page. The Runbook team will follow up about your services, coverage and aircraft capabilities before setting up your provider account. Once onboarded, you can review relevant requests, ask questions and send offers. You decide which requests to respond to and what work you can accept.
