On the ground
Airworthiness, ADs, maintenance, squawks, logbooks, insurance and equipment — one always-current record instead of a binder and five spreadsheets. Inspector-ready exports on demand.
One record · iPhone, iPad, Web
coai8 is the connected cockpit-and-hangar system for your aircraft. It transcribes ATC in real time, runs your checklists by voice, computes weight & balance, and keeps airworthiness, ADs, maintenance and logbooks current — across iPhone, iPad and the web.
Built by a pilot, for pilots.
The whole flight
From the hangar, down the runway, into the sky, and home again — coai8 is working the whole flight.
Airworthiness, ADs, maintenance, squawks, logbooks, insurance and equipment — one always-current record instead of a binder and five spreadsheets. Inspector-ready exports on demand.
The radio becomes readable ATIS, departure and taxi cards. Checklists run on the iPad; weight & balance shows CG and envelope in real time — all computed on-device by Apple's Neural Engine.
Back on the ground, everything reconciles. Two-way sync keeps iPhone, iPad and the web identical — no re-keying, no "which copy is current?"
iOS · Apple Neural Engine
Climb out of coverage and the app doesn't blink. The AI runs directly on Apple's Neural Engine, right on your iPhone or iPad — so live ATC transcription, checklists and weight & balance keep thinking at altitude with the phone in airplane mode. When you land and reconnect, transcripts and records sync to the cloud automatically. The AI engines are tuned to your aircraft type.
iOS · hands-free
Run any checklist by voice. coai8 reads each item into your headset; you answer "check" and it advances to the next — eyes outside, hands on the airplane. Call an emergency by name and the right checklist opens itself. It's workload, lifted off the pilot at the moment it matters most.
iOS · on-device intelligence
The cockpit answer engine that shows its work. Your POH, the FARs, the AIM, and your aircraft's own numbers — one question away, grounded in the source, and answered in the sky on Apple silicon.
Every release is graded against a purpose-built corpus of 6,000+ pilot questions drawn from the POH, FARs, AIM and weather references — run through the exact on-device pipeline and scored answer-by-answer against the source.
Ask Maverick runs offline, in flight, on Apple silicon iPhone and iPad. Climb out of coverage, drop into airplane mode — the reference is already onboard and answers keep coming.
It reads your airplane's POH/AFM and the FAA library, scoped by aircraft type and tail. You get your model's numbers and limitations — never another airframe's by accident.
V-speeds, takeoff and landing distance, and weight & balance are computed by deterministic logic reading certified data — so the numbers are always right. The AI is used only where it belongs: understanding your question and quoting the source.
Deterministic math over certified data. No estimation, no drift.
Understands the question and finds the passage — then quotes it, cited.
Use AI only where it makes sense. When a number is on the line, logic answers.
Every answer carries its citation — document, section, page. Tap it to open the exact PDF page.
If it isn't in your documents, you get an honest "not in the available documents" — not a fabrication.
Scoped to your type and tail, plus FAA-wide references. The right manual, automatically.
Airport answers are stamped with their FAA cycle — and say so plainly when a cycle has expired.
Keep the answers you care about at the top for the rest of the flight.
Type it the way you'd say it. Suggested questions adapt to your airplane and home base.
The platform
A single platform across web and iOS. Cockpit-critical capture lives on the iPad; heavy editing, importing and administration live on the web — over the same data.
On-device speech-to-text turns live ATC into a scrolling transcript, then distills the current ATIS, your departure clearance and taxi instructions into cards you can actually read.
Zero-fuel and takeoff weight, CG and moment computed as you load — checked against the POH envelope, with takeoff and landing points plotted together.
The full FAA AD corpus, matched to your exact airframe, engine, prop and equipment — with a compliance calendar that schedules the next recurring inspection for you.
…and everything else that lives in the binder:
Fuel, maintenance, insurance and reserves — pulled from your flights and logbook, not a spreadsheet you have to remember to update.
Your POH, checklists, ADs and maintenance library, fully indexed on the device. It works at altitude with no signal, and it highlights exactly the line you need.
The moment GPS drops, coai8 falls back to dead reckoning — building a live nav log from your last fix, cached winds and true airspeed, so the workload of getting home doesn't land on you all at once.
Enter a route and coai8 assembles the whole picture — legs, winds, fuel, weather, NOTAMs, weight & balance and alternates — as one page you scan in two minutes instead of thirty.
One platform, any airframe
The platform is generic underneath. Every aircraft you add gets the same connected record — the type's manuals and performance data, the tail's own history, and one place the whole operation looks at.
Load the POH/AFM and performance tables for your model, and the logic engine speaks in your airplane's numbers — V-speeds, distances, envelopes.
Each registration carries its own equipment list, AD status, squawks, logbooks and calendar — matched to the airframe, engine and prop actually installed.
Owner-pilots, partnerships, clubs, flight schools and the shops that maintain them work the same record — so nobody is re-keying someone else's paperwork.
Why it exists
"Every flight started with the same half hour of paperwork and ended with the same pile of it. I wanted the airplane to keep its own records — so the only thing left to do was fly it."
Built by a pilot, for pilots. coai8 comes out of one owner's hangar, one tail number, and a lot of evenings spent reconciling a binder against a spreadsheet.
