Aircraft Records Specialist (Remote, full time, contract)
RadarCore Responsibilities
**About Radar** Radar digitizes and connects aircraft maintenance records. We take scanned paper logbooks, manuals, STCs, and FAA documents and turn them into structured, searchable records, total times and cycles, AD and SB compliance, inspections, life-limited parts, and 8130-3 release tags, all tied to the actual aircraft. Operators, owners, lenders, and buyers use Radar to query their records, prove compliance, and return aircraft to service faster. Our AI does the first pass on every page. Your job is to make sure it's right. **The role** You'll work inside Radar's Logbook Viewer to review, correct, and QA the records our AI extracts from each aircraft's logbooks. We measure work in "tails" — one tail is one aircraft's complete records, and a single tail can run to thousands of scanned pages. Accuracy and consistency matter more than raw speed. For each tail you will: - **Classify documents -** confirm or correct each document's type and content (Logbook Entry / service record, Authorized Release Certificate / 8130-3, Work Order, 8110, 337, shipping documents, etc) and flag Unclassified or Junk. Clear the Unclassified queue so nothing is left ambiguous. - **Link and organize pages -** move mis-grouped page sections into the right document; split or merge so each real-world record (e.g. an 8130 tag stapled to a page) is its own clean entry. - **Attach records to the right aircraft -** verify the tail / N-number and reassign when the AI guessed wrong. - **Verify extracted data -** check extracted fields against the source image: dates, airframe/engine/APU/propeller total time and cycles (TSN/CSN), part numbers and serials, repair station and signatures. - **Review and sign off -** mark each document Reviewed, comment on anything ambiguous, and flag documents that can serve as public compliance evidence. **A typical week** You process a batch of new logbooks yourself and QA a batch that's ready to ship. You escalate the genuinely ambiguous records instead of guessing, and you help make the next hundred tails go smoother than the last by flagging patterns the AI keeps getting wrong.
Requirements
**What we're looking for** - **Aviation records familiarity -** you can look at a logbook entry, an 8130-3, or a work order and know what it is and what matters on it. Fits: A&P mechanic, aircraft records clerk, Director of Maintenance, Part 145 repair-station records, or back-to-birth records research. A current certificate is a plus, not a requirement. - **Meticulous and consistent -** you notice a tail number off by a digit, and apply the same rules on page 8,000 as on page 1. - **Strong written English -** you'll read US/FAA documents and write clear review comments. - **Comfortable in web software -** you'll live in a browser-based review tool all day. - **Reliable and communicative -** you own a queue and a turnaround time, and you flag slippage early. This matters to us more than anything else here. - **~4+ hours daily overlap with US business hours (ET).** **Nice to have** ADs, Service Bulletins, ATA chapters, life-limited parts, Form 337, or pre-buy / back-to-birth records research. Experience QAing others' work or writing SOPs — we're early and small, and the right person can help shape how records get processed and checked. **Logistics** - Contract, paid monthly. Remote - with US ET overlap preferred for timezone. - ~Full-time, flexible, with daily US overlap. Part-time considered for strong aviation-domain candidates. - Compensation: ~$1,000/month is our benchmark for an experienced records person. - Start immediately. Long-term role; strong performers can grow into a lead/QA position that owns training and SOPs. **How we hire** 1) Short application + a few questions on your aviation-records background. 2) A brief call. 3) A paid trial on one real tail — you'll classify, link, and QA a sample of pages in Radar so we both see how the work feels. Reliability and accuracy on the real tool matter more to us than a resume. To apply: reply here with a short note on your aviation-records experience and your availability in US-ET hours.
