From drawing
package to
certified data.

LoftWright reads your STC modification drawings and generates installation instructions, ICA, and the master data list — every value traced to its source, every step ready for your DER.

The Problem

ICA is mandatory.
It's still written by hand.

Every STC requires Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. Most design organizations still produce them the same way they did in 1985 — manually, in Word, from a drawing package spread across a shared drive.

— 01
Weeks of authoring per modification

A single STC modification package — installation instructions, ICA, master data list — can take a senior engineer three to six weeks to produce correctly. That time could be engineering hours on the next program.

— 02
One drawing revision. Three documents to update.

When a drawing revises, the installation instructions, the ICA, and the master data list all need updating — manually, in parallel, with no automated link between the drawing and any of them. Mismatches are a leading source of certification findings.

— 03
The ALS carries special risk

The Airworthiness Limitations Section is separately approvable and mandatory. An interval error doesn't just create a finding — it propagates into operator maintenance programs. It's the highest-consequence output of the authoring process and still the least supported by tooling.

How It Works

Three steps.
One pipeline.

The engine reads your drawing package, extracts every entity with traceable attribution, enforces airworthiness rules, and assembles certified-ready output — without generating a single safety-critical value from a language model.

01
Upload your drawing package

2D vector PDFs, DXF, STEP AP242 model-based definition, native CAD, or legacy scanned drawings. The engine accepts the full range of formats found in real STC packages.

Vector PDF DXF / DWG STEP AP242 CATIA / NX Scanned raster
02
The engine reads and extracts

Title blocks, BOMs, dimensions, GD&T, notes, materials, fasteners, zones, and effectivity — extracted as structured, confidence-scored entities, each referenced back to its source position in the drawing.

Title block BOM / find numbers Dimensions GD&T / PMI Fasteners Zones / ATA Effectivity Flag notes
03
Receive certified-ready output

Installation instructions, ICA structured to 14 CFR Appendix H, and the master data list — routed to your engineering and quality review, then to your DER or ODA unit member for approval.

Output

What LoftWright
produces for you

The certified data products an STC design organization must author and maintain — generated from the drawing package, not written from scratch.

Regulatory requirement
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness

Assembled to the 14 CFR Part 25 Appendix H content structure. Includes the Airworthiness Limitations Section as a protected, separately approvable element — intervals injected deterministically from substantiation, never generated.

25.1529 / App. H
Configuration management
Master Drawing & Data List

Indexed, revision-controlled list of all drawings and data in the package, maintained in sync with the drawing repository. Revision changes propagate automatically.

AML-aware
Secondary mode
Installer Work Cards

Tail-specific shop travelers derived from the approved installation instructions, formatted for the Part 145 repair station's MRO system — with effectivity resolved to the individual aircraft serial number.

Part 145 / MRO
The Certification Layer

Built for DERs.
Not just engineers.

LoftWright is the only drawing-to-tech-data platform designed around the civil airworthiness approval workflow — not bolted onto it afterward.

14 CFR § 21.50(b)
"Each applicant for or holder of an STC… must furnish at least one set of complete Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to the owner of each aircraft…"
Safety-critical values are never generated

Torque values, dimensional tolerances, GD&T thresholds, and airworthiness-limitation intervals are extracted from the drawing and injected by a deterministic template engine. The language model never sees or emits them — making a transposed or fabricated value structurally impossible, not just unlikely.

The ALS is protected by design

The Airworthiness Limitations Section is generated as a segregated, separately approvable element and locked once approved. Any subsequent edit requires the certification approval path — the engine enforces this automatically.

Full source traceability to every step

Every instruction step, part callout, and value in a generated product links to the specific drawing, revision, and section it came from — reconstructable on demand for DER review or authority inspection.

AML effectivity management

Effectivity is managed as an Approved Model List. The builder resolves each product against the AML and per-model baseline configuration, generating model-specific supplements where access, structure, or prior modifications differ. Adding a model to an AML flags the required substantiation delta automatically.

The DER/ODA approval workflow is first-class

Generated products route through a defined workflow — engineering review, quality review, then DER/ODA unit member or EASA DOA signatory. Digital signatures embed in the PDF and record to the audit ledger. LoftWright produces the data; the qualified signatory makes the compliance finding.

Immutable audit trail

Every ingestion, extraction decision, rule evaluation, generation event, and approval action is logged to an append-only, cryptographically verified ledger. The complete provenance of any work product is available on demand.

Who It's For

Built for the
STC modification world

LoftWright is designed for the organizations that hold STCs, author ICAs, and feel the authoring burden on every program.

Primary
STC Holder & Design Organization

You hold one or more STCs and your engineers author installation instructions and ICA manually for every modification and every revision. The drawing-to-certified-data gap is your core production bottleneck.

  • Structural, avionics, and systems STCs
  • Multi-model AML programs
  • ODA and DER-supported organizations
  • 10 – 200 person mod houses
Secondary
Part 145 Repair Station & Installer

You install modifications under approved STC packages and produce tail-specific work cards or travelers for each aircraft. You need effectivity resolved to the individual serial number and the instruction formatted for your shop floor and MRO system.

  • Tail-specific work card generation
  • MRO / ERP work-order integration
  • Prior-mod interaction checking
  • Digital sign-off and completion tracking
Adjacent — next edition
Cabin Reconfiguration & Interior STC

High-volume, per-customer instruction sets from seat and interior drawings — the same drawing-to-work-instruction problem with added flammability and 16g dynamic-seat substantiation. Targeted in the next platform edition.

  • Seat and IFE modification packages
  • High-mix, per-airline configurations
  • Passenger-to-freighter conversions
  • CS-25 flammability and dynamic testing
Early Access

One drawing package.
End to end.

LoftWright is in development. We're looking for a small number of STC design organizations to participate in our pilot — bring a real modification drawing package and we'll run it through the engine together. If you hold STCs and author ICA manually, we'd like to hear from you.

What pilot partners get
Early access to the platform with your own drawing package, direct input into the feature roadmap, and preferred pricing when LoftWright launches commercially.
What we ask of you
One or two engineering hours to walk us through a representative STC modification — the drawing package, your current authoring workflow, and what a good ICA looks like in your organization.
We keep your data confidential
Pilot engagements run under a mutual NDA. Your drawing package and technical data are not used for model training without your explicit written consent.
Built by people who know aviation
LoftWright was designed with the STC certification workflow at its center — the ICA, the ALS, the DER approval path, the AML. Not adapted from a manufacturing tool.

We'll respond within two business days. No sales calls without your permission.

Request received.

We'll be in touch within two business days to learn more about your modification programs and schedule a first conversation.
