How regulation monitoring works
Flight Lyceum's regulation monitoring is built on a three-stage pipeline: ingestion, comparison, and classification. Understanding each stage helps you configure it well and trust its output.
Stage 1: Ingestion
The pipeline periodically fetches the latest versions of the EASA documents you've subscribed to: Part-FCL, Part-ORA, AMC/GM documents, and EASA Opinions. It stores each version with a timestamp so changes can be tracked over time.
Tip: The default schedule is daily. You can trigger a manual run from the Dashboard or from Settings → Automation.
Stage 2: Change detection
Each new document version is compared against the previous version using a semantic diff algorithm. This identifies not just word-for-word edits, but also restructuring, renumbering, and requirement additions that a simple text diff would miss.
- Added or removed regulatory requirements
- Changes to acceptable means of compliance (AMC) that affect training content
- Effective date changes for existing requirements
- New Opinions and Decisions that may affect your ATO certificate
Stage 3: Classification and impact scoring
For each detected change, the AI assesses its likely impact on your organisation based on the specific manuals you've uploaded. It assigns a priority level:
- Critical: a requirement directly referenced in your uploaded manuals has changed. Immediate review recommended.
- Notable: a related requirement or AMC has changed. May require manual update.
- Informational: a change in scope or area relevant to your school type, but unlikely to require a manual revision.
Tip: The priority classification improves over time as you approve or dismiss items. Each action you take helps the AI understand what your school cares about.
What happens after classification
Each classified change becomes a review item in your queue. The item shows you the specific regulatory text that changed, side-by-side with the relevant sections of your uploaded manuals. Your compliance team can then decide whether a manual update is needed.
What the pipeline does not do
The pipeline identifies changes and flags likely impact: it does not make compliance decisions on your behalf. Every review item requires a human decision: approve the proposed update, dismiss it, or schedule a review for later. The audit trail records who reviewed each item and when.
Note: Flight Lyceum is a compliance monitoring tool, not a legal compliance guarantee. Always verify critical changes with your accountable manager or legal counsel before updating your manuals.
