Learn how aircraft parts traceability supports compliance, reduces risk, and keeps your aircraft airworthy.

Explore Part 91 aviation and see how it differs from parts 121 and 135 in operations and compliance.

Learn what aviation SMS is, why it matters, and how to implement it for proactive safety management.

A Flight Operating System (FOS) is the nerve center for airlines, centralizing scheduling and dispatch. It automates tasks to reduce errors, ensure compliance, and minimize costly flight disruptions.

Use the AVIATES checklist to track all FAA-required aircraft inspections. This system ensures airworthiness, prevents grounding, and helps operators avoid costly regulatory penalties.

Condition-based maintenance uses real-time data to service aircraft parts only when needed. This boosts safety, reduces unscheduled downtime, and optimizes maintenance costs.

Aviation automation spans cockpit, maintenance, and ground ops—cutting workload, boosting safety, and lowering costs through predictive tools. Challenges include oversight and cybersecurity. SOMA integrates compliance, inventory, and maintenance tracking in one platform.

An FMS cuts pilot workload and boosts situational awareness by automating navigation, routing, fuel/altitude planning, and system integration. It covers FMC, CDU, nav databases and interfaces, stressing maintenance and updates. SOMA helps track FMS tasks and keep aircraft flight-ready.

Flight planning ensures route, fuel, alternates, and regulatory compliance for VFR, IFR, composite, DVFR flights. This guide explains what a flight plan is, how to prepare and file it (weather, routing, fuel, ICAO/FAA formats), and why it’s vital for safety and ATC. Tools like SOMA streamline accuracy and maintenance readiness.
