Job 29 · Editorial evidence queue
Active fleets whose manufacturer status needs investigating
Established aircraft makers with a material active fleet but no recent manufacture year visible in Sprinkle, prepared as a research queue—not labelled defunct or unsupported.
Research queue
Search the evidence candidates
The screening rule requires at least 25 active airframes, 10 usable build years and no recorded manufacture year in the past decade. It deliberately produces leads, not conclusions.
Methodology
How candidates enter the queue
- Kept active, non-merged airframes linked to manufacturers marked as established OEMs in Sprinkle.
- Aggregated active airframes and distinct models by manufacturer.
- Required at least 25 active airframes and at least 10 plausible recorded manufacture years.
- Required the latest visible manufacture year to be at least ten years old.
- Added blank review fields for defunct status, ceased year, successor/support organisation, evidence source, notes and explicit approval.
Editorial use
What must be verified
Check authoritative company records, acquisitions, brand ownership, type-certificate support and active specialist organisations. A company may still operate despite no recent aircraft in this source, while production may have continued under a successor name.
Suggested source line after review: “Sprinkle analysis of current active aircraft records, supplemented by the cited company and successor evidence in the reviewed CSV.”
