Part 145 compliance
Part 145 record-keeping for component shops: a practical guide
What your work orders must contain, how long to keep them, and the five record failures that show up in component-shop audits.

Part 145 compliance is the ground everything else in a repair station stands on, and it is where AirOne MRO started. The software was built inside V1AeroSolutions, an operating wheel and brake shop, so what we publish here comes from holding an approval rather than writing about one. This category covers the parts of EASA Part-145 and FAA Part 145 that shape daily work: what your exposition or repair station manual commits you to, how inspection stages and sign-offs have to be captured, who may certify what, and how long records must survive. We write it the way a shop needs it — the procedure first, then the operational detail that decides whether people actually follow it on a busy Tuesday. Useful if you are preparing an initial approval, extending a rating, or closing the gap between your manual and your shop floor — because Part 145 compliance is judged on what you do, not on what you wrote down.
