Operations Manuals & Technical Authoring
Aviation technical authoring for operators and aerodromes — manual and exposition suites for new AOCs, multi-jurisdiction drafting across EASA, FAA, ICAO and Transport Canada, amendment submissions, and a revision service that keeps them current.
In short
Scope
What our technical authors produce
Four strands of authoring work, from the first exposition through to every amendment that follows it.
Manual and exposition suites for new AOCs and aerodromes
A complete, internally consistent suite drafted from your intended operation: operations manual parts, the exposition, and the supporting procedures the authority reads alongside them. Written as one document set, so the cross-references hold together instead of contradicting each other.
Multi-jurisdiction — EASA, FAA, ICAO, and Transport Canada
The same operation described to different authorities needs different structure, terminology and evidence. We draft against the framework you are certificating under, rather than translating a manual written for somewhere else and hoping it lands.
Amendments and new-approval submissions
New approvals, fleet changes and rule amendments all arrive as manual changes. We draft the amendment, prepare the submission, and carry it through your authority's acceptance process.
Manual Revision Service: controlled change management, version tracking, and distribution to postholders
An ongoing service that keeps the suite live: every change controlled and versioned, and the current issue in the hands of the postholders accountable for it. This is where most manual sets quietly go out of date.
What is different
Most consultancies hand you a document and leave.
Ours are delivered by people but built on CitadelAero’s own software, so the work does not end as a PDF on a shared drive. It ends in a system your team runs, still connected to the rules it was written from.
Documentation, drafted against the rule text
Our authors write with Regulatory AI surfacing the governing requirement, and the amendment it belongs to, beside the clause they are drafting.
SMS work that lands in a live system
Implementations end in software your team keeps using — reporting, risk, audits and training already structured the way your authority expects to see them.
