For FAA AC 00-56 accredited distributors
Find the trace gaps in your inventory before a buyer does.
For accredited distributors holding stock whose paper nobody has checked line by line.
Send us an inventory extract and the document folder for those lines. We'll tell you which lines have a trace problem, what specifically is missing on each, and which gaps are still recoverable from the issuer.
Most shelves have a pile nobody's sure about
- Inherited stock, teardown lots, lines bought years ago. They came in under someone else's receiving process, and nobody has opened every folder since.
- You usually find out at the worst moment. The sale is half done, the buyer asks for the 8130-3, and the folder is thin. Sometimes it's the buyer's receiving inspection that finds it, not you.
- Some missing paper can still be fixed, but not forever. A repair station only has to keep its records for two years after the part is returned to service. Ask while it's inside that window and it's a phone call. Ask after, and the part may be a write-off.
What you get: one verdict per line
Every line in the batch gets exactly one of four statuses. Four, never more. A verdict is only useful if it's a verdict.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Complete | A documented chain is present. No gaps found. |
| Gap — recoverable | Something is missing, and a named party should still be holding it. |
| Gap — likely unrecoverable | Something is missing, and it's outside every retention window, or the issuer no longer exists. |
| Inconsistent | The documents are there but they contradict each other: dates out of order, a serial that doesn't match, a part number off by a dash number. |
Inconsistent is the status that matters most. A missing document is easy to see once you look. A contradiction between two documents that are both present usually goes unnoticed until a buyer's inspector notices it.
For every line you also get:
- the documents found, by type and date
- exactly what is missing, by name (never just "incomplete")
- any internal contradictions, spelled out
- for recoverable gaps: who issued it, and the date their retention window closes
The report opens with a summary page: line counts by status, the recoverable lines ranked by value at risk (if you send values), and what you'd need to request to close them.
Who issued it decides how long you have
How long the paper can be recovered depends on who issued it, not on what kind of part it is.
| Issued by | Must retain for | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Production approval holder (new-part 8130-3) | 5 years, or 10 years for critical components | 14 CFR § 21.137(k) |
| Part 145 repair station (maintenance release) | 2 years from return to service | 14 CFR § 145.219(c) |
| Owner / operator (own maintenance records) | Until superseded, or 1 year after the work | 14 CFR § 91.417(b) |
The report works that date out for every recoverable line. Those gaps are worth chasing this quarter, and they're worth less every year you wait.
See what a report looks like
This sample is synthetic. The distributor and the inventory are invented; the format and the rules are the real ones.
Approval for return to service (8130-3) for the 2024-12-02 overhaul
Retention window closes 2026-12-02 — 72 days after the report date.
Approval for return to service (8130-3) for the 2023-06-30 overhaul
Tarpon Accessory Overhaul (Part 145 repair station). Retention window closed 2025-06-30 (14 CFR § 145.219(c)).
Serial number differs between documents for this line: V52218 on the inventory line and data plate photograph (p. 60); V52281 in block 10 of the 8130-3 (p. 58) and on work order PAR-4410 (p. 59).
How it works
- You send the lines. An inventory extract (CSV or Excel is fine) for up to 150 lines, plus the document folder for those lines, whatever you have. Scans are fine. We sign confidentiality terms before you send anything.
- We read and reconcile. Every document is checked against every line and against the other documents for that line.
- You get the report on a date. The date is in the quote: five business days after we receive your files. Not "about a week."
- You decide what to do. Chase the recoverable gaps, reprice or redirect the rest. For each recoverable gap we draft the request to the issuer. You send it; we never contact an issuer on your behalf.

What this is not
After 2023, anyone who handles your paperwork should tell you this before they start.
Fullpaper Labs indexes and reconciles documents supplied by the customer. Nothing it produces is an airworthiness determination, a certification, or an authentication of any document.
- We never create, complete, alter, sign or reissue an 8130-3, EASA Form 1, or any other release document.
- We never say a part is airworthy, approved or serviceable. That's your call, and your licence.
- We never judge whether a document is genuine. We report what the paper says and where it contradicts itself.
- We never contact an issuer as you.
Your documents
We sign confidentiality terms before you send a single file. Software does the reading and cross-checking, and a person reviews every line before it reaches you. Your documents are processed only on systems we control, or through AI model providers that are contractually barred from keeping them or training on them. No other third-party tool touches them.We delete everything 30 days after delivery unless you ask us in writing to keep it.
Questions distributors ask
Is this an audit?
No. The report is for you. Nobody else sees it unless you show it to them.
Where do our documents go?
Only to systems we control, or to AI model providers that are contractually barred from keeping or training on them. Everything is deleted 30 days after delivery.
Do you decide whether a part is airworthy?
No. That's your decision and your licence. We tell you what the paper says, what it doesn't say, and where it contradicts itself.
What if you don't find anything?
Then you have it in writing that those lines are clean. And if there was nothing you didn't already know, the guarantee refunds your deposit.
Who have you done this for?
You'd be one of the first five, which is why the price and the guarantee are set the way they are. Read the sample and judge the method. We're also happy to walk you through it on a screen-share.
Can you get the missing 8130-3 for us?
We draft the request and tell you who it goes to. You send it, because the request has to come from you.
Our quality system already covers this.
Your receiving process covers parts arriving now. This report covers the parts already on your shelf, including the ones that arrived before the current process existed.
