Corrective Action Request

The Corrective Action Request (CAR) module provides a structured, end-to-end workflow for managing non-conformities identified during audits, inspections, or day-to-day operations.

What is a Corrective Action Request?

A Corrective Action Request (CAR) is a formal record used to document a non-conformity — a deviation from a procedure, standard, or regulatory requirement — along with the actions taken to address it. Effective CAR management is a cornerstone of any functioning Safety Management System.

In a traditional paper or spreadsheet-based system, CARs are notoriously difficult to track. Items slip through the cracks, ownership is unclear, and demonstrating closure to auditors requires manual effort. AvioData's CAR module eliminates all of these problems.

How AvioData handles it

When a non-conformity is identified — whether through an internal audit, an external inspection, or an event report — a CAR is raised in the platform. The CAR captures the finding in detail, assigns it to a responsible person, and tracks it through to verified closure.

Every step of the process is documented automatically. When an auditor asks to see evidence of corrective action, you can produce a complete, timestamped record in seconds — not hours.
