Yes! We offer a comprehensive 30-day free trial with sample data and the SMS Readiness Assessment. No credit card required to get started.

Small aviation teams including Part 91, 91.147, 135, 145 operators, flight schools, and maintenance organizations looking to meet FAA AC 120-92D compliance requirements efficiently.

Most small operators achieve full SMS compliance in 2-4 weeks using our guided implementation process and aviation-ready templates, compared to 6-12 months with traditional methods.

If you are Part 135, hold a §91.147 Air Tour LOA, or are a Part 21 TC/PC manufacturer, the FAA's expanded Part 5 rule requires an SMS (deadlines through 2027). Part 121 carriers already required. Others (flight schools, Part 145 repair stations, etc.) are voluntary but smart to prepare. We help you figure out exactly where you sit.

Pure training under Part 61/141 is not automatically in Part 5. But if you sell paid discovery flights or Groupons (see Grannis Interpretation 2017), sightseeing, or aerial tours under a 91.147 LOA, you cross into air‑tour territory and SMS applies. Even if not mandated, a lightweight SMS builds trust with parents, insurers, and future students.

Our 48‑Hour Concierge Onboarding starts when you deliver a clean spreadsheet. We configure your org, roles, risk matrix, and starter manual, then run a live test hazard with your Safety Manager. Pilot training rolls out over the next 30 days (group Zoom + quick‑start video).

No. Clear Approach runs in any modern browser and works on personal iPads; IT not required.

You own 100% of your data. COMING SOON: Export anytime (CSV, PDF summaries). We generate inspector‑friendly reports aligned with FAA Part 5; an EASA MAG Pack for Part 145 bilateral shops is on the roadmap—ask for early access.

Spreadsheets fall apart when an inspector asks for trend proof. Enterprise systems are powerful but heavy and expensive. Clear Approach gives you 48‑hr setup, unlimited users, and the core compliance tools inspectors actually ask for—without six‑week config or $450+/mo fees. No fake 'Free Tiers' that hit a brick wall the moment you submit your 21st report or hire your 5th employee, no upsells, same great product at the same great price, for everyone.

We support your compliance record-keeping and workflows, but the certificate holder remains responsible for meeting FAA/EASA requirements. We'll help you configure the system to map to your operating regulations and produce exportable evidence for inspectors.
