  • Keep Flying!

    A Story of Compressions Here’s a little exercise on what you can do with RAG-AI and ChatGPT. Total time to get this data in this form was about two minutes. Let’s ask a simple question of LogAir.ai charged with my maintenance data, “Give me CSV values of the compressions on the right engine over the…

After changing some initial prompts, I was comparing the results Claude and the Sonnet 4.5 model we were testing with those from Google’s Notebook LM. I didn’t ask for a comparison…

  • It’s a Trap

If you are using the FAA’s Dynamic Regulatory System to look up your aircraft’s airworthiness directives (ADs), did you know you are using a system that’s not an official source?
