For those who want the exact detail.

Every check on the ground leaves a record, from a walkaround to a finding. These are the most common.

• Aircraft walkaround: On arrival, before departure and before flight, sector by sector; on arrival also a short snapshot in seconds.
• Guided check: A voice reads the organisation's checklist and the person confirms an item or goes back to it.
• Final walkaround: After maintenance: no tools or foreign objects left, panels back on (145.A.48).
• Turnaround and equipment: Ground handling records the aircraft before and after servicing, equipment operators their equipment at the start of a shift.
• Report: One tap, a photo or a video; the public through a QR code at the airport.

All types in the Groundbook Standard

On its own aircraft the operator's maintenance records; on someone else's the workshop does, and the record goes to the operator or owner.

• Approval from video: The customer approves or rejects the repair straight from the link, with a name and a time.
• Remote expert: An experienced technician, the manufacturer or a workshop weighs in remotely and the conclusion is attached to the finding.
• Changes between checks: The same spot on the aircraft side by side over time; a person decides.
• Tasks from the plan: Groundbook prepares what needs doing at the aircraft, and the app starts it with one tap.
• Shorter AOG: The finding, the history of the spot and the decision reach whoever decides within minutes.

You record, the app does the rest: without signal, in the dark and with people in the footage.

• A task, not a choice: Groundbook prepares what is needed; without a task the app offers a walkaround of an aircraft it knows.
• QR on equipment and stands: From the tag, the app knows what the record concerns.
• No signal: The record waits on the phone and uploads by itself once there is signal.
• In the dark: When it is night at the location, the app turns on the phone's light by itself.
• People in the footage: In the copy for people outside the organisation, they are blurred.

The subject is anything on the ground, and one record belongs to everything it concerns.

• Aircraft: Airliner, ACMI, helicopter, business, club.
• Ground equipment: Stairs, loaders, tugs, GPU, de-⁠icing, fuel; with a QR tag.
• Place: Stand, apron, hangar, gate.
• Flight and work: Flight, aircraft turnaround, work card.
• Source of footage: A phone, a head-⁠mounted camera, our own device with sensors, a fixed camera or a drone.

Opening and verifying a record is always free.

• Operator: Its technicians, crews and ramp agents record.
• Maintenance and workshop: The operator's maintenance team on its own aircraft, the workshop on a customer's aircraft; the record goes to the aircraft's operator or owner.
• Handling and airport: The aircraft turnaround and the equipment check; the airport sees what happened on its apron.
• Insurer, lessor and authority: They open a record without an account.
• Club, school and owner: The account is created in the app; the manager looks after members and records in Groundbook.
