Built by working corporate pilots, SAFA+Checklist turns EU/EASA SAFA ramp-check preparation from a binder chase into a guided, on-device workflow. BUILD A PROFILE IN MINUTES โ NOT AN AFTERNOON โข Profile Quick Start: three guided steps โ drop in your documents, photograph the aircraft, rehearse the ramp check. โข Smart Filing Inbox: select your certificates, licenses, MEL, insurance, and manuals in one batch. Each document is read on this device and filed where an inspector would ask for it โ you review and confirm every proposal. โข Sub-bullet precision: extracts such as duty-time tables file to the exact inspection point, not just the item. โข Expiration capture: dates found in your documents flow straight into the expiration tracker. โข Tail cross-check: warns when a document references a different registration than the profile. โข Appendix copies: file supporting documents to appendix topics in the same pass. KNOW WHERE YOU STAND โข Items-covered readiness across all 53 checklist items, section by section (AโE). โข "Where to find this" hints on every empty item: what the document is, where operators find it, and what to capture. โข Ramp Check Rehearsal: every item asked the way an inspector asks it โ answered from your own notes and attachments, gaps flagged in orange. EVERYTHING A RAMP CHECK TOUCHES โข 53-item SAFA checklist with inspection points, reference material, findings categories (Cat 1โ3), placards, appendix, revisions, and expiration tracking. โข Pre-Inspection Prep list and Required Documents on Board, scoped by registration prefix and operation type. โข Share complete profiles between crew devices; export a PDF summary for the flight department. PRIVATE BY DESIGN โข Documents are read on your device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing leaves your device. โข On devices that support Apple Intelligence, on-device models help identify document types.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Diagnostics Direct at none against SAFA+Checklist's 1. Diagnostics Direct also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). SAFA+Checklist's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
