The paperwork problem

Logbooks weren't built for the FAA's checklist.

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.

Lost hours

30 months of FAA-required experience scattered across work orders, paper logs, and spreadsheets that never get mapped to a standard.

Lost credit

Manual sign-offs and end-of-program scrambles mean real work goes undocumented — and apprentices lose qualifying experience.

No visibility

You can't see an apprentice's true ACS coverage: which tasks are done, which are missing, who's actually ready.

How it works

Log it, tag it, sign it off.

Three steps from a job on the floor to a compliance-ready record — no spreadsheet gymnastics.

Apprentice logs the work

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.

Supervisor signs off

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.

The report builds itself

Approved entries roll up into a live coverage view and a print-ready Form 8610-2 compliance report — including aircraft worked per skill area.

What's inside

Compliance machinery, minus the busywork.

Everything an apprenticeship program needs to track coverage and produce documentation the FAA expects.

🎯

AI ACS matching

Plain-language work descriptions get mapped to the exact Airman Certification Standards task — automatically, as you type.

✅

Supervisor approval queue

Every entry routes through a reviewer. Approve, reject, or leave a hint — single or batched across the whole shop.

📄

Form 8610-2 report

A clean, print-ready compliance PDF with an appendix of aircraft worked per skill area. Generated, not assembled.

📊

Live coverage view

See exactly which ACS tasks are done, pending, or missing — and whether each apprentice has cleared the 65% threshold.

💡

Hints & reminders

Supervisors flag the next task an apprentice should tackle — or what to fix — right on the entry, so nobody's guessing what's left.

🛩️

Aircraft tracking

Registrations, make and model captured per entry, so the FAA's "what did you work on" question answers itself.

🎓

Built-in study lessons

Study material mapped to every ACS subject — concepts, FAA references, and a self-check quiz — surfaced right where apprentices log work. Included, no add-on.

New · Learn while you log

Not just a logbook — a way to get better at the work.

Every shop wants apprentices who are studying, not just stacking hours. Yellow Tag now ships with study lessons mapped to every ACS subject — the key concepts, the FAA references, and a quick self-check quiz — surfaced right where the work happens. Log a job and a "Learn more" prompt links straight to the matching lesson; check your ACS progress and jump into any subject. Supervisors see who's studying and where they're shaky.

40 ACS subjects Self-check quizzes FAA-referenced Learn-in-context

Included with your plan — no add-on fee — and shop admins can switch it off to keep things lean. Coming next: curated videos and reading per subject, completion tracking, and credential tie-ins with industry training partners.

Good questions

The FAA part, explained.

What is the ACS?

The Airman Certification Standards define the knowledge and skills an A&P mechanic must demonstrate. Yellow Tag maps every logged job to a specific ACS task.

What's the 65% threshold?

To qualify under Form 8610-2, an apprentice needs documented experience across at least 65% of the relevant ACS tasks. We track that coverage live.

What is Form 8610-2?

It's the FAA form documenting practical experience toward A&P certification. Yellow Tag generates the supporting compliance report for you.

Do supervisors need a paid seat?

No. You pay per apprentice — $29/seat per month (or $290/seat per year). Supervisors and admins are always unlimited and free.

Can I import past experience?

Yes. Bring in records from QuantumMX PDFs or a CSV template — prior work gets matched to ACS tasks just like live entries.

Who's it for?

Independent A&P shops, Part 145 repair stations, and MROs running apprentices — anyone documenting OJT toward mechanic certification.
