01The cost of a stuck aircraft

When an aircraft is disabled on the runway, the runway closes. Every hour it stays there, delays, diversions and cancellations ripple across the network, and the aircraft itself waits on an airworthiness review nobody can sign off without evidence.

Disabled aircraft incidents worldwide every year: ~150
Average runway or airport closure per incident: 17 h
System from survey to reporting with Jetbird: 1

02Benefits

Faster recovery, with the evidence to prove it.

01
Shorten aircraft-on-ground time
Remove the guesswork around undetected secondary damage. Capture every load applied during the lift so that maintenance teams have complete evidence for airworthiness review and a confident return to service.
02
Reclaim runway capacity
Clear disabled aircraft fast and run the whole recovery from survey to reporting in one system modeled on the ICAO Doc 9137 Part 5 guidelines. Delays, diversions and cancellations stay contained instead of cascading across your network.
03
Activate recovery readiness
Turn static compliance into live capability. Run digital tabletop exercises, validate roles and generate ready-to-activate recovery plans for every scenario, meeting EASA ADR.OPS.B.011 requirements. Be ready before an aircraft disables a runway.

03One recovery, five stages

From survey to reporting, in one system.

RecoveryOS follows the structure of ICAO Doc 9137 Part 5, so every recovery runs the same proven way, whether it is a drill or the real thing.

01 / 05
Survey
Read the scene
Log the aircraft type, its position, the damage and the ground conditions from the ramp, so the plan starts from facts rather than radio calls.
02 / 05
Planning
Plan within limits
Built-in centre-of-gravity and load calculations produce a recovery plan customised to your fleet, your equipment inventory and the scenario at hand.
03 / 05
Preparation
Brief every role
Roles, equipment and checklists are assigned and confirmed before the lift, so each person on the ramp knows exactly what comes next.
04 / 05
Recovery
Lift with live data
Load cells and recovery lifting bags stream live readings, checked against approved limits for that airframe throughout the lift.
05 / 05
Reporting
Close with evidence
Every step, load and decision is reconciled into one time-stamped report, ready for maintenance, regulators and insurers.

RecoveryOS workflow engine

One system, from simulation to the real event.

Boost team capability and run recoveries with a single system, from simulations to real events. Built-in centre-of-gravity and load calculations guide your team to a plan customised to your fleet, inventory and the scenario at hand.

Live recovery monitoring

See the margin before you lift.

Sensors and cloud software work together during the lift. Tether loads and lifting bag pressures are shown live against the approved limits for the airframe, so the team knows where it stands at every moment.
