The parts database built around the aircraft, not the shelf.
Type an aircraft, an engine or a part number. TIS Aviation returns the structure by ATA chapter, every part fitted to it, the figure and page it was read from, and the airworthiness directives that cite it. Nothing is listed without its source.
Six questions, one search.
Each tile is either live in the database today or in build. We say which.
- Live
Part numbers are stored exactly as written and matched on a normalised form, so a number typed with spaces, dashes or dots finds the same part.
- Live
Every part fitted to a type, grouped by system, with figure, item and units per assembly from the illustrated parts catalogue.
- Live
Catalogues and manuals open in our own viewer on the exact page a part was read from. Copyrighted sources are indexed, never redistributed.
- Live
Parts cited by FAA directives, each with the directive number and its Federal Register text. Public domain, stored in full.
- In build
Interchangeability will appear only with a cited source and a note that the final airworthiness call belongs to a licensed inspector.
- In build
Stock from connected sellers in one table, matched to the part, with condition and paperwork — and one request to our desk when nothing fits.
Typed the way a mechanic types it.
The same query, three ways. Spaces, dashes and case fall away; the catalogue answers with the part, its description and the source it was read from.

What keeps the data honest.
- 01 / 03
Every row cites its source
A part exists in TIS Aviation because a catalogue page or a directive says so. The citation travels with the row, into every screen and every answer.
- 02 / 03
Nothing is invented
No guessed part numbers, no inferred alternates, no placeholder prices. An empty field says what would fill it.
- 03 / 03
Licences are respected
Public-domain material is stored in full. Copyrighted catalogues are indexed and linked, not copied. Every source carries its permission.
Tell us the part. We find it.
Part numbers, quantities, condition and paperwork required. The desk replies with sourced options, trace and a delivery date.
