Refuse rather than guess
When a rule is involved, Chuck shows you the passage it came from. When the material doesn’t cover your question, it says so.
CitadelAero is an AI platform and research company.
We’re helping aviation safety and compliance teams move from reactive, document-heavy work to proactive and predictive safety management. Our research work is building the foundations for a future of AI in aviation safety.

Vision
AI that moves aviation safety from reactive to proactive and predictive.
01Today, mostly
Reactive
Investigating events and working through findings and corrective actions, after the fact.
02What gets squeezed
Proactive
Looking for emerging risks and trends. There’s rarely time for it.
03Where we are heading
Predictive
Seeing risk as it builds, and acting before it becomes an incident.
That’s where we’re heading. Today, Chuck does the reading, comparing and drafting.
Aviation safety today is mostly reactive.
Most of a safety team’s week goes on what has already happened, and there’s rarely time to look ahead.
We think AI can change that, so that organisations can:
- understand their operation far better than they can today
- see risk while it’s still building
- act before it turns into an incident
That changes what people do.
People move from doing the day-to-day work to overseeing it, and they stay accountable. Aviation should bring AI in the way it brings in any change that affects safety: carefully, and tested before it’s trusted. Done well, the people who keep flying safe spend less time on paperwork and more on judgement.
Mission
We build AI for aviation’s safety and compliance teams, and we research the future possibilities of AI in safety and risk management.
In this industry, an answer is only as good as the rule behind it.
That’s why Chuck starts from the regulations, and why your data stays yours. We hold Chuck to two rules.
The judgement stays with your postholders
Chuck does the reading and the paperwork. Signing off is still a person’s job, and that’s how the regulator expects it.
The product, the research and consultancy.
- Product
Chuck
An AI workspace for safety and compliance teams. It reads the rules, your manuals and your safety data, drafts the document you need, and shows where each answer came from.
- Research
Research
We’re building an open benchmark of how well AI answers aviation regulation questions, and we’ve tested whether large language models judge flight crews by how a flight ended.
- Consultancy
Consultancy services
For when you need the job done for you: certification, manuals, audits, safety management systems and human factors. We also help teams bring AI into their work.
