Aircraft Component Life Monitoring System – AD Tracker Overview
The AD Tracker is an Excel-based Continuing Airworthiness Management (CAMO) tool developed to monitor and manage Airworthiness Directive (AD) compliance across an aircraft fleet. The system enables maintenance planners and airworthiness personnel to track directive applicability, compliance status, due dates, and recurring inspection requirements while supporting proactive maintenance planning and regulatory compliance.
The tracker automates compliance monitoring by calculating upcoming due dates, highlighting overdue directives, and providing risk-based visual indicators to support timely maintenance decision-making.
Key Features Aircraft Registration and MSN tracking Airworthiness Directive (AD) number and reference management AD applicability assessment for individual aircraft Support for both repetitive and one-time directives Compliance date recording and historical tracking Automatic due date and next-due-date calculations Compliance status monitoring (Compliant / Due Soon / Overdue) Risk flagging system using Green, Amber, and Red indicators Maintenance planning and forecasting support Fleet-wide AD compliance visibility CAMO-oriented workflow and record management Technical Highlights Built entirely in Microsoft Excel Structured data tables for fleet management Formula-driven forecasting and status calculations Conditional formatting for risk visualization Scalable architecture suitable for fleet expansion Designed using real-world CAMO maintenance planning concepts Use Case
This project demonstrates the practical application of Continuing Airworthiness Management principles by providing a simplified AD compliance monitoring system similar to those used within commercial aviation CAMO environments. It serves as both a learning project and a proof of concept for maintenance planning, airworthiness tracking, and regulatory compliance management.
