The apprenticeship tracker that turns shop-floor work into FAA-ready compliance — every entry mapped to the ACS, approved by a supervisor, and counted toward Form 8610-2.
Trusted by working A&P shops — including Zefting Aviation, an active shop running its apprentices on Yellow Tag.
To submit Form 8610-2, an apprentice has to prove hands-on experience across the Airman Certification Standards — and hit the 65% coverage threshold. Tracking that in spreadsheets and paper logbooks is where shops lose hours and apprentices lose credit.
of documented OJT the FAA expects — most of it scattered across work orders that never get mapped to a standard.
sign-offs and end-of-program scrambles to reconstruct who did what, when, and on which aircraft.
of an apprentice's real coverage — which ACS tasks are done, which are missing, who's actually ready.
Three steps from a job on the floor to a compliance-ready record — no spreadsheet gymnastics.
A quick entry — aircraft, hours, what was done. Yellow Tag's AI suggests the matching ACS task as they type. Import from QuantumMX or CSV to backfill history.
Entries land in an approval queue. Supervisors review, add notes or hints, and approve — single or in batches. That sign-off is the yellow tag.
Approved entries roll up into a live coverage view and a print-ready Form 8610-2 compliance report — including aircraft worked per skill area.
Everything an apprenticeship program needs to track coverage and produce documentation the FAA expects.
Plain-language work descriptions get mapped to the exact Airman Certification Standards task — automatically, as you type.
Every entry routes through a reviewer. Approve, reject, or leave a hint — single or batched across the whole shop.
A clean, print-ready compliance PDF with an appendix of aircraft worked per skill area. Generated, not assembled.
See exactly which ACS tasks are done, pending, or missing — and whether each apprentice has cleared the 65% threshold.
Supervisors flag the next task an apprentice should tackle — or what to fix — right on the entry, so nobody's guessing what's left.
Registrations, make and model captured per entry, so the FAA's "what did you work on" question answers itself.
Nobody starts from zero. Export your records from the major industry-standard shop-management systems, drop them in, and every past job is matched to its ACS task automatically — historical experience counts toward the 8610-2 from day one.
Direct QuantumMX import is built in today. On another system? Export to CSV and you're in within minutes — with more native integrations on the way.
“Our apprentices' hours used to live in three places. Now every job gets tagged to a standard the moment it's logged — and the 8610-2 is one click.”
