The platform

Five modules. One operation.

Every feature below is built to real Part 135 requirements — not a generic checklist. Here's exactly what ships today, what's coming, and the regulations behind it.

From the cockpit

Every screen was drawn by someone who's flown the line.

Not a generic compliance suite. A tool that thinks the way a Part 135 operation actually works.

Dispatch

The full Part 135 flight release — from route and fuel plan to FRAT, weather, and signatures — in one audit-ready flow.

  • Comprehensive Part 135 flight release — 12 sections with a dispatcher-release and PIC-acceptance workflow
  • Auto-computed planning — block times, distance, and fuel plan totals calculated for you
  • Live weather integration — METAR / TAF / NOTAMs with VFR / MVFR / IFR flight category
  • Full FRAT scoring — 15 risk items scored GREEN / AMBER / RED, with a chief-approval workflow for elevated risk
  • PDF audit trail — autosaved drafts, offline-tolerant capture, and a permanent record

Ref: 14 CFR §135.617 (risk assessment) · §135.79 (flight locating)

“Our release used to be a clipboard and three browser tabs. Now it's one screen, and the FRAT forces the conversation we should've been having anyway.”

Crew

Roster, duty and rest, assignments, and availability — with a swap workflow and chief-pilot oversight built in.

  • Roster, duty & rest — tracked to §135.267 supplemental and §117 flight-and-duty rules
  • Training currency dashboard — §135.293 / 297 / 299, medical, HAZMAT, and IOE at a glance
  • Trip assignments — pilot-to-pilot swap workflow with chief-pilot approval
  • Availability toggle — available / off / reserve / training states per pilot
  • Chief pilot admin — create or deactivate pilots, aggregate crew status, and a KPI dashboard

Ref: 14 CFR §135.267 · Part 117 · §135.293/297/299

“I can see who's legal, who's resting, and who's swapping — without three phone calls before coffee.”

— Chief Pilot, Vector Aviation Services (demonstration)

Training

FAR-referenced currency, digital records, and automated expiry alerts — kept for the full retention period and ready for the FAA.

  • Currency tracking — every FAR-referenced training event in one dashboard
  • Digital training records — upload checkride sheets, medical certs, and HAZMAT credentials
  • Automated expiry alerts — 30-day warnings before anything lapses
  • Recurrent scheduling — plan and assign recurrent events (coming in v2)
  • 5-year regulatory retention — records held to requirement and FAA-audit ready

Ref: 14 CFR §135 Subpart H (Training)

“The 30-day alerts alone are worth it. Nothing lapses quietly anymore.”

— Training captain, Summit Charter (demonstration)

Safety

Get your operation ready for Part 5 SMS before the May 28, 2027 deadline — starting with hazard reporting today.

  • Part 5 SMS readiness — prepare for the mandatory 14 CFR Part 5 deadline of May 28, 2027
  • Hazard identification reporting — capture, triage, and close the loop (live)
  • Safety Risk Management & Assurance — structured SRM and SA workflows (coming in v2)
  • ASAP submission tracking — manage voluntary safety reports (coming in v2)
  • Leading indicator dashboard — trend safety performance over time (coming in v3)

Ref: 14 CFR Part 5 (SMS) — effective May 28, 2027

“We were dreading the SMS mandate. This gives us a running start instead of a scramble.”

— Safety officer, Meridian Air Group (demonstration)

Documents

One current manual library — GOM, FOM, MEL, OpSpecs — with revision tracking and pilot read-receipts.

  • Manual library — GOM / FOM, AFM / POH, MEL, and OpSpecs in one place (coming in v2)
  • Revision tracking — always know which revision is current, with pilot read-receipts
  • Company forms — standardized forms available to the whole operation
  • Quick-reference regulatory library — the FARs you actually cite, one tap away

Ref: 14 CFR §135 Subpart G (Manual Requirements)

“No more 'which PDF is current?' No more emailing revisions around. It's just done.”

— Director of Ops, Vector Aviation Services (demonstration)
Built to the regulation, not around it
