Wastegate Technologies, LLC
Aircraft Maintenance,
Handled.
The AI-driven operating system for aircraft maintenance shops — squawk to compliant sign-off in one system of record. JP, the embedded assistant, answers from your actual manuals — cited, no hallucination — and audits records to catch compliance errors.
Deployed and in active testing today. 14-day free trial — no credit card to start.
The workflow
One system, squawk to sign-off
Wastegate runs the maintenance organization as a single, compliance-aware system of record — with role-based access and AI assistance at every step.
- 01
Squawk
Open a case the moment a discrepancy is found — full lifecycle tracking from the first note.
- 02
Troubleshoot
JP answers from your actual manuals — cited to the exact page, with visual diagnosis from photos.
- 03
Work order
5-stage pipeline with server-side validation at each gate; auto-generates 14 CFR 43.9(a) logbook entries.
- 04
Sign-off
Role-gated to the 14 CFR 43.3/43.7 matrix — the right person signs the right work, every time.
- 05
Permanent record
Immutable, tamper-evident audit log per AC 120-78A — field-level history that survives the next inspection.
Meet JP
Manual-grounded. Cited. No hallucination.
Every JP answer is grounded by RAG in the customer’s indexed manuals and cites the exact page — mechanics can view and print the source. A 4-layer anti-hallucination pipeline (DB filter → tier filter → hard post-filter → prompt guardrail) keeps answers verifiable against the actual manual.

Everything the shop runs on, in one place
JP — the manual-grounded assistant
A production RAG engine with a 4-layer anti-hallucination pipeline, keyword fallback for OCR text, and visual diagnosis from photos. Cites the exact manual page; retrieval is org-aware.
- Every answer cited to the real manual — never generated from memory
- Cited-source extraction returns a merged PDF the mechanic can view and print
Operations — cases & work orders
Full case/squawk lifecycle and a 5-stage work-order pipeline with server-side validation at every gate. Part 121 adds a 12-step MOC workflow stepper with branching.
- Auto-generated 14 CFR 43.9(a) logbook entries
- MEL deferral tracking with category A/B/C/D countdowns (Part 121)
Digital logbook & records
A permanent, tamper-evident system of record. Database triggers block UPDATE/DELETE on the audit log; field-level diffs preserve the full history.
- Immutable audit trail per AC 120-78A
- Per-aircraft digital records and logbook
Compliance & AD tracking
Compliance enforced by the architecture, not bolted on. Per-aircraft AD compliance with automatic FAA Federal Register search by model and engine, plus overdue alerts.
- AD tracker with automatic applicability search
- Inspection schedule: annual, 100-hr, transponder, pitot-static, ELT
Owner portal (MyEJ companion)
A separate experience for aircraft owners and pilots, distinct from the mechanic-facing platform — visibility into their aircraft without touching the shop floor workflow.
- Owner/pilot view, role-separated from mechanics
- Preventive-maintenance sign-off scope per 14 CFR 43.3(g)
Records QA engine
JP reviews logbook entries and work orders against approved data and CFR references — turning records review from an annual scramble into a continuous, provable process.
- Scores findings by severity: critical / warning / info
- Verifies each citation: verified / flagged / not-found
