One Platform. One Connected Maintenance Ecosystem.
The Intelligent Aircraft Maintenance Workflow
Get Started
Create Your Account
Download the SquawkLink app, create your account, and add your aircraft by entering its N-number.
SquawkLink automatically retrieves your FAA registry information and builds your aircraft’s digital profile in seconds.
Records
Build Your Intelligent Digital Logbook
Upload your aircraft logbooks as PDF or CSV, or enter key values manually. Logbook Intelligence organizes years of maintenance records into a searchable, aircraft-specific digital history. You review and confirm every extracted entry before it becomes part of your permanent record. Nothing enters your logbook without your approval.
Your Logbook Intelligence Dashboard automatically organizes and tracks:
- Annual and 50/100-hour inspections
- Oil changes and service intervals
- Airworthiness Directives (ADs) and Service Bulletins (SBs)
- Warranty status, ELT inspections, and CAPS repack (where applicable)
- Component life limits and recurring Squawks
Instead of digging through paper logbooks, you have instant access to your aircraft’s maintenance history, inspection status, and compliance picture in one place.
In-app camera scanning of paper logbook pages is on the horizon! See “What’s Ahead.”
Report
Enter a Squawk
When something doesn’t look, sound, or feel right, simply tap Report a Squawk.
Take a photo, record a short video, or describe the issue in about 30 seconds. SquawkLink automatically captures the aircraft registration, GPS location, date and time, and flight phase, creating a complete maintenance event with virtually no paperwork.
Assistance
Instantly Connect with Your Mechanic
Your selected A&P mechanic receives a structured maintenance report in their professional dashboard, complete with photos, videos, aircraft-specific maintenance history, inspection status, and priority level.
No more incomplete text messages, missed phone calls, or trying to recreate what happened after the flight. Every Squawk arrives with the context needed to begin troubleshooting immediately.
Track Progress
Stay Connected Throughout the Repair
Track your aircraft’s maintenance in real time. Your mechanic’s responses, status updates, and return-to-service confirmation arrive in the app the moment they happen. You always know where your aircraft stands and when it’s ready to fly again. No more calling the shop for updates.
Diagnose
AI That Thinks Like an Experienced A&P
Before the first cowling fastener is removed, AskYour™ A&P has already begun analyzing the discrepancy.
Every Squawk is evaluated using:
- Your aircraft's complete maintenance history
- Logbook Intelligence
- More than 1.7 million FAA Service Difficulty Reports
- Applicable Airworthiness Directives (ADs)
- Manufacturer technical data as authorized by each OEM/OAM
- SquawkLink's proprietary aviation maintenance knowledge base
AskYour™ A&P delivers probable causes, recommended diagnostic paths, supporting technical references, and regulatory guidance, helping mechanics identify the most likely root cause before they touch the airplane.
Intelligence
Diagnose with Complete Aircraft Intelligence
Instead of troubleshooting from memory, mechanics work with complete aircraft intelligence.
The Logbook Intelligence Dashboard instantly highlights:
- Previous repairs
- Recurring Squawks
- Inspection history
- AD and SB compliance
- Component replacement history
- Warranty coverage
- Similar historical discrepancies
By combining AI-assisted diagnostics with the aircraft’s complete maintenance record, mechanics can diagnose problems faster, reduce unnecessary troubleshooting, improve first-time fix rates, and make more informed maintenance decisions.
Return to Service
Close the Loop
When repairs are complete, the mechanic documents the corrective action, updates the maintenance status, and returns the aircraft to service.
If the repair meets FAA Service Difficulty Report (SDR) reporting criteria, AskYour™ A&P automatically prepares a completed FAA SDR for electronic submission.
Every maintenance action becomes part of the aircraft’s permanent digital history, continuously strengthening future diagnostics, compliance tracking, maintenance forecasting, and long-term aircraft value.
Built on Real World Authority
SquawkLink Technologies LLC was founded by John Jackson, second generation owner of Pacific Continental Engines. Pacific Continental Engines is a separate, family owned company founded in 1961 and an FAA-certificated Part 145 repair station since 1965 (Certificate TZ3R885L), operating today from Simi Valley, California. Six decades of Continental and Lycoming engine experience from that repair station informs the AskYour™ A&P knowledge base.
Discover SquawkLink's Features
From Communication to Intelligence
From the first Squawk to return-to-service, SquawkLink replaces fragmented maintenance communication with a single source of truth for pilots, aircraft owners, FBOs, and FAA-certificated mechanics:
Real-time communication, AI-assisted diagnostics, Logbook Intelligence, and built-in regulatory compliance in one platform.
60-Second Squawk Filing
Tap, snap a photo, describe, send. Pre-fills tail number, GPS location, and flight phase automatically. No more lost Squawks on sticky notes or missed phone calls between pilot and mechanic.
AskYour™ A&P AI Diagnostic Engine
Probable-cause analysis backed by 1.7 million FAA Service Difficulty Reports, every active Airworthiness Directive, NTSB CAROL accident data, manufacturer technical data as authorized by each OEM/OAM, and Pacific Continental Engines' six decade knowledge base. Cirrus SR-series (Continental 360/550 and Lycoming 390) at launch.
Logbook Intelligence Dashboard
Per-aircraft maintenance compliance dashboard connected directly to AskYour™ A&P, which knows the aircraft's maintenance history when it analyzes the Squawk. Recurring problems, prior repairs, and AD compliance status are all in context.
FBO Aircraft Locator
GPS-based map of FBOs, mechanics, and inspection authorities for transient pilots. Find a mechanic in an unfamiliar field. Find an IA or FBO when the annual is due.
Direct FAA Service Difficulty Report Filing
When a discrepancy meets FAA SDR reporting criteria, AskYour™ A&P pre-fills the FAA Service Difficulty Report from the Squawk record- aircraft, engine, mechanic certificate, dates, and description, all completed automatically. Your mechanic reviews, adds the part details, and submits electronically in minutes instead of skipping the filing.
No separate forms. No double entry. No missed reports.

Who We Are
Honoring Tradition. Advancing Aviation.
Pacific Continental Engines was founded in 1961 and has remained family-owned and operated ever since. In 1965, PCE became an FAA Part 145 certificated repair station (Certificate TZ3R885L), establishing a reputation for quality workmanship and technical expertise. Over the decades, the company has overhauled, maintained, and supported every Continental and Lycoming piston engine family flown in general aviation, serving aircraft owners, flight schools, maintenance facilities, and operators across the country.
John Jackson represents the second generation of Pacific Continental Engines. He has spent a lifetime building on the experience, craftsmanship, and problem-solving that have defined the company for more than six decades.
SquawkLink Technologies, LLC was founded to extend that expertise beyond the repair station and into the hands of the broader general aviation community in a way never before possible.

Why Choose SquawkLink?
Logbook Intelligence: AskYour™ A&P knows your aircraft's history Better than Anyone
Most aviation AI tools have no idea what’s already been done to your airplane.
SquawkLink’s Logbook Intelligence Dashboard connects every Squawk to the aircraft’s prior maintenance history, such as AD compliance status, recurring Squawks, prior repairs, and time-since-overhaul context.
Your mechanic sees the full picture before they pick up a wrench.
- AD compliance status tracked per aircraft, automatically
- Recurring Squawks flagged for the mechanic before diagnosis
- Maintenance-history-aware AI diagnostics
Built on six decades of FAA-certificated repair station expertise, SquawkLink helps aviation professionals spend less time chasing information and more time keeping aircraft safe, compliant, and mission-ready.
