Ask Bruv.
The shop-mate who never leaves the hangar. Ask him out loud with greasy hands. He knows the regs, finds the page, keeps the want list, and shows his work every time.

- Bruv: Done, 50 AN3-5A on the want list for the T-6.
Sec. 01
How It Works
-
Talk To Him
Out loud or typed, the way you'd ask the guy at the next bench. No menus, no forms, no digging through folders.
-
He Digs It Out And Shows The Page
Spec, torque, drill size, procedure, reg. He answers straight, then puts the actual page from the book in front of you as proof.
-
He Does The Busywork
Parts on the want list. Hours logged. Drop in a photo of a part, receipt or logbook page and he files it.
Sec. 02
The Whole Library In His Head
Bruv carries the FAA books a shop lives by. Ask him anything in them and he answers, then shows you the actual page so you can check it yourself. Uploading your shop's own manuals is coming later.

What Else He Handles
Decodes Hardware
Read him an AN, MS or NAS number. He tells you what it is.
Runs The Want List
Say what you need and which airplane it's for. It's on the list, and he helps plan the order.
Logs Hours
Say "log 4 hours on the T-6" and it's logged.
Drop It In
Snap a part, a receipt or a logbook page. Bruv reads it and files it, not lost in somebody's camera roll.
Learns Your Shop
Every shop does it a little different. He picks up your way from the people on your floor.
Sec. 04
Built For Warbirds First
Bruv was started by Fabian Martinez, a warbird restoration mechanic in Pearland, Texas. He built the tool he wanted on his own hangar floor: something you can ask with greasy hands and get a straight answer, with the page to back it up.
Warbird restoration shops come first. Then all of aviation.
Built By A Warbird Mechanic. For The Floor.
Sec. 05
The Rules He Keeps
FAA Forms Are Never Altered
He'll find the form and tell you what goes where. He doesn't touch it.
The A&P Or IA Makes The Call
Bruv looks it up. The certificated mechanic decides and signs.
Money And Signatures Wait For The Owner
He plans the order. The owner says go.
He Never Pretends To Be Human
He's an AI shop-mate, and he'll tell you so.
