Radar was founded by Israel Slodowitz, an aviation operator who lived the records problem from the inside before setting out to fix it.

An operator first

Israel's background spans flight operations, compliance, and the capital side of aviation, the three places where a fleet's records actually get tested. He saw the same pattern from every seat: the work was done well, but the proof of it lived in binders, scanned PDFs, and people's memory. When an auditor, a buyer, or a lender asked a simple question, answering it took days.

The problem he kept hitting

Fragmented maintenance records don't just create paperwork. They slow operations, introduce avoidable risk, and quietly erode aircraft value. A missing logbook page or an unverifiable repair can stall a return-to-service, complicate a pre-buy, or turn a financing conversation sideways. Israel watched capable teams lose time and leverage not because of how they maintained aircraft, but because of how their records were kept.

Why he built Radar

Radar came out of a simple conviction: an aircraft's history should be as accessible and trustworthy as the aircraft itself. The platform digitizes and connects every logbook, manual, STC, and FAA document across a fleet, then makes it queryable in plain English, so compliance is provable, provenance is traceable, and records can be shared with auditors, banks, buyers, and vendors in one click.

That design reflects how Israel thinks about the industry: build for real aviation workflows, not abstract software assumptions.
