Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using AviCheck (avicheck.au), operated by Off The Ground Agency ("we", "us", "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use this website.

Description of Service

AviCheck is a free, publicly accessible platform that aggregates and presents Australian aviation safety data sourced from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB). The platform makes aircraft registration details, safety investigation reports, and airworthiness directives searchable in a single interface. AviCheck is provided as a civic technology service at no cost to users.

Aviation Safety Disclaimer

AviCheck is for informational and reference purposes only. It is not a substitute for official aviation safety documentation and must not be used for operational decision-making.

  • Do not rely on AviCheck for flight planning, maintenance decisions, or regulatory compliance. Always verify aircraft registration status, airworthiness directive compliance, and safety investigation details directly with CASA or the ATSB.
  • AviCheck data may be incomplete, out of date, or contain transcription errors from the source records.
  • Airworthiness directive information on AviCheck does not replace the official CASA AD register. Compliance must be verified against the original CASA documentation.
  • Safety investigation summaries do not replace the full ATSB investigation reports. Always refer to the complete ATSB report for findings and safety recommendations.
  • AviCheck does not provide operational guidance, pilot advice, or maintenance instructions.

Data Accuracy and Sources

Aviation data displayed on AviCheck is sourced from:

CASA Aircraft Register

Aircraft registration details including registration marks, type, owner, operator, and base location. Published by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
