AS9100D · AS9120B · AS9110C · ISO 9001:2015

Your co-pilot for quality, compliance, and continual improvement.

JBird holds the whole quality system in one place — your process map, your manual, your audits, your calibration recall, your corrective actions — and keeps them agreeing with each other. Built by someone who audits aerospace organizations for a living.

In active development — pilot organizations wanted

The JBird interaction-of-processes builder: twelve processes arranged in
Management, Core and Support bands with labelled connectors showing what
flows between them.

The interaction of processes, drawn from your own data — not a stock diagram.

The problem

Most shops don't fail audits. They fail at finding the evidence.

The quality is usually fine. What's missing is one place where the manual, the process map, the audit record and the open corrective actions all agree with each other.

The manual is a Word file

Last revised by someone who left. Three versions float around the shared drive, and nobody is certain which one the auditor was handed last time.

The audit lives in a binder

Last year's findings, this year's checklist, and the effectiveness checks that were supposed to close them — in three places, none of them linked.

Corrective actions live in email

Root cause in one thread, containment in another, the objective evidence attached to a message from six weeks ago. The 30-day clock ran out quietly.

What's built

Twenty modules, and they talk to each other.

Define your processes once and the rest of the system inherits them. A process carries its own clauses, KPIs and owner — so an audit knows what to assess, the gap analysis knows what's covered, and a finding knows where it belongs.

Internal audit

Real IAQG 9101 methodology, not a checklist app

A QMS Process Matrix (9101 Form 2) marking every clause Conforming, Nonconforming, Not Evaluated or Not Applicable per audited process. A Process Effectiveness Assessment Report — the PEAR, 9101 Form 3 — for each one, scoring effectiveness from process realization and results.

PEAR inputs, activities, outputs and KPIs pull straight from the process map
Auditor's questionnaire generated per process from its documents and clauses
A standing personnel-awareness check against clause 7.3
Mark a clause nonconforming and it becomes a real NCR

A completed PEAR in JBird showing responsibility, applicable clauses,
inputs, activities, outputs, a KPI table, auditor observations, audit
trail and a process effectiveness rating.

Readiness

Gap analysis that computes itself

Every clause of every standard you're certified to, with its status derived from what actually exists in the system — which processes are tagged to it, which documents cover it, whether the clause summary has been written. Never a flag somebody remembered to set.

Filter to AS9100D, AS9120B, AS9110C or ISO 9001 alone
Owner, linked documents and linked processes on every clause
One readiness figure you can put in front of management review

JBird's clause-by-clause gap analysis table showing clause number,
applicable standards, status, owner, documents and linked processes.

Measurement

Calibration control that knows what it invalidated

Due status is computed from the real calibration log, never a manual flag. Internal and external calibration sources, readings at multiple reference points, acceptance criteria, and a formal out-of-service quarantine log.

Recall list and due-soon warnings against clause 7.1.5.2
Out-of-tolerance findings assess impact on previous measurement results
An out-of-tolerance gage escalates to a real NCR in one click

criteria and a clause 7.1.5.2 warning.

Findings

NCRs and corrective actions with the clock running

Containment, root cause, correction, corrective action, effectiveness verification — in the order a registrar expects, on the timeline a registrar enforces. Root cause is worked with real tools: 5-Whys, fishbone, fault tree, Pareto and FMEA.

30 and 60-day deadline logic with automatic escalation
Part number, lot, serial and work order captured for traceability
Recurrence detection across related nonconformances
Nothing closes without an effectiveness check

containment, root cause, correction and corrective action stages with
their due dates.

What's coming

The 9100 series is being revised. Twice.

The IAQG is renaming and revising the aerospace standards alongside the next edition of ISO 9001 — as two separate revisions, not one. Every certified organization transitions, and a QMS that lives in Word documents transitions the hard way.

Today Nothing has published yet. The 9100 series still stands at its 2016 revision — AS9100D. ISO lists the ISO 9001 revision as expected in September 2026.
Phase one A limited revision renames the series IA9100, IA9110 and IA9120 and handles near-term needs. It is not a full rewrite.
Phase two A full revision incorporating the new ISO 9001, expected around mid-2027 — which means planning for two transition audits, not one.

Worth knowing

The transition window has not been announced, and the published estimates disagree — anywhere from one year to three. Aerospace transitions have historically run shorter than the three years ISO allows. Plan for less time than an ISO transition would give you, and treat any specific deadline you read online as an estimate until the IAQG says otherwise.

Clause structure is data in JBird rather than something hard-coded, so a revision is a content update and your existing clause work maps forward. Read the full 2026 changes guide →

Built by an auditor Not by a software team guessing at what a finding looks like.

Aerospace first AS9100D, AS9120B and AS9110C are the design target, not a plugin.

Sized for real shops For organizations too small for an enterprise QMS platform and too serious for a spreadsheet.

Why we're building it

“I spend my working life on the other side of the audit table. The same gaps come up again and again — not because these shops run bad quality systems, but because the system is scattered across a dozen files and nobody can see all of it at once.”
