Meet Chuck

A regulatory assistant that shows its working

Chuck is the assistant inside Regulatory AI Intelligence — CitadelAero’s managed AI, working over a curated corpus of aviation regulation rather than the open web. It answers from the rule text, cites what it used, and tells you when the corpus doesn’t cover your question.

Grounded, cited answers
Every answer is built from retrieved regulatory text and returned with the citations behind it — rule reference, source document, and the passage it came from — so you can check the wording yourself before you act on it.
Multi-jurisdiction by design
FAA, EASA and UK frameworks are covered today, with GCAA, 2-REG and other registries on the roadmap. Ask a question once and see how the answer differs between the frameworks you actually operate under.
Amendment-aware
Regulations move. Chuck records which revision or amendment each cited passage belongs to, so an answer tells you not just what the rule says but which version of it you are reading.
Cite or refuse
If the corpus does not support an answer, Chuck says so rather than inventing law. No confident-sounding regulation that does not exist — the failure mode is an honest "not found", not a fabricated reference.

How it works

Ask a question, read the answer, check the sources it was built from.

  1. 01

    Ask in plain language

    "Do I have to report this occurrence, and to whom?" No rule numbers, no boolean search syntax — ask it the way you would ask a colleague.

  2. 02

    Chuck retrieves the rules

    The question is matched against the regulatory corpus for the frameworks your organisation is entitled to, pulling the passages that actually bear on it.

  3. 03

    Read the answer beside its sources

    The answer appears with a Sources panel: each cited passage, weighted by how much it informed the answer, and dated to the amendment it came from. Follow any citation back to the original text.

How do alcohol limits for flight crew differ between the FAA, EASA and the UK?

Chuck

  • FAA — no alcohol within 8 hours of flight, and a blood-alcohol concentration below 0.04%.114 CFR 91.17
  • EASA — no duty within 8 hours of consuming alcohol; blood-alcohol limit 0.2 g/L.2CAT.GEN.MPA.170
  • UK — a prescribed limit of 20 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, one quarter of the general driving limit.3ANO 2016, art. 91

All three set an 8-hour floor and a low BAC ceiling; the UK and EASA limits are stricter than the FAA’s.

Every claim traces to a cited provision — Chuck refuses rather than guessing. Illustrative example only; not regulatory advice.

Built for the people who answer to the regulator

Five post-holder perspectives, each asking the rulebook a different set of questions.

Compliance & Regulatory
Trace a requirement to its source, compare frameworks, and assemble the regulatory basis for a compliance statement without trawling PDFs.
Flight Operations
Settle operational questions — limitations, minima, carriage and crew requirements — against the rule text that applies to your operation.
Safety & SMS
Check occurrence reportability, mandatory-reporting timelines, and the SMS obligations behind a finding, with the citation to back the call.
Airworthiness & CAMO
Look up maintenance, continuing-airworthiness and release-to-service requirements, and see how the equivalent rule reads in another framework.
Crew Training & Licensing
Confirm licensing, recency, and training requirements — and what changes when crew or aircraft move between jurisdictions.

What operators use it for

Requirement gap analysis
Work through a requirement set and see, clause by clause, what your operation has to satisfy — with the source text next to each one.
Occurrence-reportability checks
Decide quickly whether an occurrence is reportable, under which provision, to which authority, and inside what deadline.
Procedure & document drafting
Draft manual sections and procedures with the governing requirement cited alongside, so reviewers can see the basis for every line.
Cross-framework comparison
Put the FAA, EASA and UK treatments of the same subject side by side — useful for multi-registry fleets and framework transitions.
Audit support
Answer auditor questions with the citation attached, and prepare for an audit by rehearsing the requirements you will be measured against.

How it sits alongside the SMS platform: CitadelAero’s SMS runs your safety processes — reports, risk, audits, training. Regulatory AI Intelligence answers the regulations behind them. They are sold separately and work well together. Explore the SMS Platform.
