Aircraft Types

The Aircraft Types page in Maintenance Hub allows you to create and configure aircraft type definitions with technical specifications, operational parameters, and maintenance-specific settings. Each aircraft type serves as the foundation for tracking maintenance requirements, managing fleet data, and ensuring compliance across your fleet.

Use the search bar at the top-left to quickly locate specific aircraft types. The search filters results as you type.

Create new aircraft type definitions to support your maintenance operations. Each type can have multiple model variants.

Each aircraft type can be enabled for different Musket modules depending on how you use the type in your operations.

Complete reference for all fields when creating or editing aircraft types.

Access to aircraft type management depends on your assigned permissions within the Maintenance Hub module.

Aircraft types are used throughout Musket. These pages also work with aircraft type data:

• Aircraft Management → Aircraft Types: Flight operations view with additional features like crew configurations and photos
• Maintenance Hub → Maintenance Aircraft: View and manage individual aircraft assigned to these types
• Maintenance Hub → Maintenance Tracker: Track maintenance tasks and compliance for aircraft of each type
• Organisation → Document Control → Manage Library: Assign type-specific documents when types are enabled for documents
