SMS compliance shouldn't be this hard

The Problem

Spreadsheets and paper trails

Manual tracking leads to gaps, lost records, and audit failures.

Expensive aviation consultants

$15K-$50K engagements that still leave you managing compliance manually.

Generic safety software

Built for enterprise, not small aviation ops. Overly complex and overpriced.

The May 2027 deadline looms

FAA Part 5 compliance isn't optional — and the clock is ticking.

The Solution

Purpose-built for aviation

Every feature maps to FAA AC 120-92D. No bloat, no guesswork.

Guided setup with templates

Pre-built safety policies, risk matrices, and workflows get you compliant in weeks.

$299/mo — not $15K+

Enterprise capability at a price small operators can actually afford.

Ready before the deadline

Most operators achieve full compliance in 2-4 weeks.
