DG Copilot — Intelligent Aviation Dangerous Goods System
Built for the people who keep aircraft flying.
What is DG Copilot?
DG Copilot is an intelligent decision support system for aviation Dangerous Goods classification. It is designed for the operational reality of MRO hangars, AOG desks and aviation freight workflows, where the right answer is needed in seconds and the source data is scattered across hundreds of manufacturer portals. From a part number or product designation, DG Copilot instantly identifies:
- UN number
- Hazard class
- Air transport status (IATA / ICAO)
- Official Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
- Required labels and packing instructions
It also supports preparation of IATA Dangerous Goods Declarations (DGD), helping shippers, specialists and ground teams move faster without losing the rigour the regulations demand.
DG Copilot is a decision support tool. Final DGD validation must be performed by a certified DG specialist.
What DG Copilot helps you do
- Find UN numbers for aviation parts and components
- Identify Dangerous Goods classifications from a part number or photo
- Attempt to retrieve official manufacturer Safety Data Sheets (SDS / MSDS)
- Understand IATA air transport restrictions
- Support preparation of IATA Dangerous Goods Declarations (DGD)
- Identify lithium battery shipping requirements
- Determine whether a part is DG / NOT DG
- Understand hazard classes for air transport
- Support AOG logistics decisions under time pressure
Questions DG Copilot helps answer
- What is the UN number for this aircraft component?
- Is this aviation part classified as Dangerous Goods?
- Can this lithium battery travel by passenger aircraft?
- Where can I find the manufacturer SDS for this part?
- How do I prepare an IATA Dangerous Goods Declaration?
- What hazard class applies to this component?
- Can this item travel under cargo aircraft only restrictions?
When DG Copilot should be used

Why DG Copilot exists
Finding the right SDS for an aviation part should take 15 seconds. In most MRO operations, it takes 45 minutes. Not because people lack expertise. Because the information is scattered across hundreds of manufacturer websites, locked behind portals, and impossible to find under AOG time pressure. Spare parts come from OEMs, sub-tier suppliers and chemical manufacturers, each with their own document repository, naming convention and revision cycle. A shipper who needs to declare a part by air must reconcile all of this against the current IATA DGR — often with an aircraft on ground and a clock running.
DG Copilot was built to solve this specific problem: collapse the search, surface the official SDS, and present the regulatory data points needed to make a defensible classification decision.
