Audit preparation, automated.
Deepsky reads the audit standard and your manuals, maps every audit question to your evidence, and hands you a completed audit checklist with corrective action plans.
Built for the standards and regulations that govern flight operations — and any standard you provide.
The Compliance Team
How it works
Two documents go in. Every question is judged the way an auditor reads it — against intent, not keywords — and substantiated with the exact manual reference. Two documents come out.
Gaps surfaced early
Where nothing in your manuals answers a question, we flag it before the auditor does.
Audit-ready output
A completed audit checklist plus corrective action plans for every gap, in the format audit bodies expect.
Stays current
Change a procedure or adopt a new standard and the mapping re-runs. Audit-ready continuously, not just the week before.
About Deepsky
Who we are
deepsky was founded to fix one of aviation's most expensive chores: audit preparation. Cross-referencing an operations manual against an audit standard, clause by clause, takes weeks of specialist time — and a single missed criterion can hold up an approval.
We built The Compliance Team to do that work automatically: it reads the standard and your exposition, maps every audit question to the procedure or evidence that satisfies it, and flags the gaps before an auditor finds them. The result is an auditable, traceable compliance matrix that keeps you audit-ready continuously — not just the week before an audit.
Deepsky brings together airline captaincy, flight operations management, software and AI engineering, and product management — with hands-on familiarity with the audit standards that govern flight ops. The regulation and the engineering sit under one roof, which is why the product answers the way an auditor thinks, not the way a database does.
Through the deepsky Podcast and our newsletter, we stay close to how aviation leaders worldwide are putting AI to work — and we turn that into a product that makes audit preparation faster, cheaper, and more reliable.

What customers say
In their words
“Samuel was instrumental in helping the AFAP navigate the complexities of AI technology. He provided invaluable technical guidance, enabling the Executive and staff to demystify AI and make informed decisions about adopting solutions that drive member engagement. His expertise and support were crucial during our vendor selection process.”
“I asked Sam to help scope the technical feasibility of an ambitious project involving AI in aviation. Sam offered very useful insights, which saved us time and money in development costs, and was able to highlight new market opportunities.”
“Sam's superpower is his ability to combine deep understanding of cutting edge technology with his industry background in aviation. His insights allowed us to develop high ROI strategies in the aviation industry that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to.”
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is deepsky?
deepsky automates audit preparation for aviation operators. Our product, The Compliance Team, maps the audit standards and regulations you have to meet against your own operations manual — so you walk into an audit with the evidence already assembled.
What is The Compliance Team?
It's audit preparation you don't have to hire for. You give us the audit standard you're being assessed against plus your manuals (exposition, SOPs, policies); deepsky produces a completed audit checklist and corrective action plans — every question mapped to the procedure or evidence that satisfies it, auditable, traceable, and ready for the auditor.
How does it work?
Deepsky reads the standard and your manuals, then links it to the exact sections that answer it, with citations you can open. Where nothing in your documentation answers a question, it flags the gap and explains what is missing. The output is a completed audit checklist plus corrective action plans, formatted the way audit bodies expect.
Which audit standards do you support?
We focus on the standards that cover flight operations — BARS, IOSA, IS-BAO, ARGUS, CASR Part 133/135, DASR — as well as the underlying ICAO, FAA, EASA and CASA regulations. The system is built to take any audit standard or regulation you provide, so it is not limited to a fixed list.
Does this replace our compliance or safety manager?
No — it greatly expands the speed and scope at which they can work. The weeks of manual cross-referencing disappear, and because every mapping is cited and traceable, your compliance manager reviews and signs off on real evidence rather than assembling it by hand.
How do you handle our documents and confidentiality?
Your documents stay yours. Every engagement is strictly isolated to your organisation, your data is never used to train models, and the portal is invite-only with enterprise-grade security throughout. And non disclosure agreements are executed prior to sharing of any information.
How much time does it save?
Checking manuals against a standard is roughly four days of skilled work per audit, per standard — usually done by a senior person pulled off flying or off running the operation. Early trials indicate an ~85% time saving on the compliance review itself: from four days down to about half a day. And because the assessment runs off one ingestion of your manuals, it can assess several schemes (IS-BAO, IOSA, BARS, CASA) simultaneously, saving even more time.
