FAA 8130-3 & EASA Form 1 extractor: validate every block

Release certificates, block by block

FAA Form 8130-3 and EASA Form 1 are the authorized-release certificates that aviation parts cannot move without. Their block structure is rigid, their stakes are high, and manual transcription errors are exactly what audits find. This extractor parses every block of both forms and auto-validates each value for airworthiness and compliance, in seconds per certificate.

Validation, not just capture

Values are cross-checked as they are extracted (part and serial formats, date consistency, and completeness of the certification blocks), so incomplete or suspect certificates are flagged before a part is received or shipped.
