Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

Flynaut LLC (“Flynaut,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to ensuring that our website, www.flynaut.com, is accessible to all people, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that the web should be inclusive by design, and we recognize our responsibility to provide equal access to the information, services, and functionality on our website.

Accessibility is not a feature we add at the end. It is a principle embedded in our design and development process from the very beginning.

2. Accessibility Standard We Follow

We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the standard:

• Referenced by the U.S. Department of Justice in its April 2024 final rule updating Title II of the ADA
• Consistent with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
• Recognized as the benchmark for ADA Title III compliance in private sector litigation
• Required by the European Accessibility Act (EAA), effective June 2025
• Adopted by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in Canada

2.1 Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. Every non-decorative image has descriptive alt text. Text has sufficient color contrast (minimum 4.5:1 ratio for normal text, 3:1 for large text). Content does not rely solely on color to convey information.

2.2 Operable

All functionality is available from a keyboard. Users are never trapped in a component. No content flashes more than three times per second. Animation respects the prefers-reduced-motion media query. Touch targets are at least 44x44 CSS pixels.

2.3 Understandable

Content is written in clear, plain language. Navigation is consistent across pages. Interactive elements behave predictably. Forms include clear labels, instructions, and error messages.

2.4 Robust

Our website uses semantic HTML5 elements. Where native HTML is insufficient, we use ARIA attributes following the first rule of ARIA: do not use ARIA if a native HTML element can do the job. We test with screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), screen magnifiers, and keyboard-only navigation.

9. Technical Information

This website is built with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (React / Next.js), ARIA attributes, and SVG graphics with accessible titles. Our development practices follow the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide (APG) published by the W3C.

10. Continuous Improvement

Digital accessibility is an evolving field. We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. We monitor developments in WCAG 3.0 and will adapt our practices as new guidelines are published. This statement is reviewed and updated at least annually.
