Canary Baseline

Portable flight-evidence platform for general aviation

Canary is your aircraft’s memory.

The record your logbook never had.

It rides along in the aircraft and fuses position, motion, cabin carbon monoxide, and vibration into one integrity-checked record per tail, processed on board at the edge.

Between inspections

An aircraft’s history can be spread across pilot memory, panel logs, and paper records. That can make it harder to review an event against that aircraft’s own history.

Flight to flight, that story is kept by whoever was there: in memory, on paper, in a panel export. Canary turns it into one record the aircraft keeps.

01What we record

One integrity‑checked record per tail.

Four recorded channels, processed on board.

What the record brings together

The Canary record

Position, motion, cabin carbon monoxide, and vibration brought together in one integrity-checked record for an individual aircraft, processed on board.

Working with existing panel logs?

Canary Baseline is a separate service: authorized panel exports become a private, per-tail baseline with human-reviewed reports.Explore Baseline

02The boundary

Canary notices. Your mechanic decides.

Clear boundary. Canary complements installed avionics and human judgment; it does not diagnose failures or determine airworthiness.

03Evidence

Navigation evidence, tested against an independent reference.

Paired-flight comparisons of the navigation record and the pilot’s EFB track log against certified avionics.

Flight validation · paired flights

CROSS-VALIDATION RECORD

Validation policy

Channels that fail cross-validation are rejected, not shipped.

04The record

Every flight makes the aircraft’s history worth more.

Each flight deepens a history specific to one aircraft — a record its owner can share with a shop or pass to the next owner. The record is the product; the node is how it gets made. It states what the aircraft did, never a verdict.

The record is built to show what changed on this aircraft against its own history. Decisions stay with the mechanic.

After the flight, the record can also take in the panel exports an owner authorizes, so the engine monitor’s history and Canary’s channels sit in one place.

05Services

Start from the history you already have.

Start with panel exports you’re authorized to share. Canary Baseline is separate from the recorder.

Canary Baseline

No hardware, no installation.

Retrospective baselines from your existing panel logs.

A private, per-tail baseline built from the panel exports you’re authorized to share: what repeated, what changed, and what may be worth discussing with your mechanic. No hardware, no installation.

  • Free compatibility check of one exported panel log
  • Private per-tail delivery
  • Human-reviewed reports

We serve

For flight schools and maintenance organizations, Baseline starts with authorized panel exports and a private baseline report for each supported aircraft.

THE CANARY APP · CONCEPT PREVIEW · IN DEVELOPMENT · NOT YET SHIPPING

07The app

One app for the pilot, the mechanic, and the operator.

It opens on what Canary did and measured, and it never tells you what to do.

This is the screen that changes an operator’s day: the brief on the walk-up, and a record to share with the mechanic.

ADS-B traffic to your EFB in flight.

CONCEPT PREVIEW · IN DEVELOPMENT · NOT YET SHIPPING

In development: after landing, a shop-side station receives the completed record from the aircraft, checks its integrity, and shows the maintainer the result without an internet connection.

08The people around Canary

The people behind Canary.

Different disciplines, working toward a clearer aircraft record. Roles are listed; introductions come from the founder.

  • Founder CyberWing Systems

    Javier Rodriguez, the engineer behind every layer of the Canary platform.

  • Flight Test & Field Operations

    Certificated flight instructor who flies Canary’s general-aviation test campaigns: test cards, cross-validation against certified avionics, and field feedback.

    Designs Canary’s printed parts and enclosure, drawing on experience in design for manufacture and 3D printing.

  • Maintenance Review A&P/IA

    A&P mechanic with Inspection Authorization who reviews sensor mounting and what an evidence record needs to support a mechanic’s assessment.

  • Turbine Operations Founding Head of Aviation Partnerships

    Professional corporate jet pilot contributing turbine-operations experience to Canary’s path beyond piston training fleets.

  • Technical Advisor Sensing & Estimation

    Mechanical and aerospace engineering professor who reviews Canary’s sensing and estimation work, with research in advanced controls and government aerospace collaborations.

  • Advisor Fleet Health & Certification

    Aerospace program leader advising, in a personal capacity, on fleet health practice and the certification landscape for portable, no-modification equipment.

Why Canary exists

Javier Rodriguez · Founder

CyberWing was founded and built by Javier Rodriguez, the engineer behind every layer of the Canary platform.

The founding insight came from living inside launch telemetry after a failure: the record of what happened in flight should exist before you need it.
