Transform Aircraft Fleet Management with Aviops Aviops is the comprehensive aircraft management platform built for corporate flight departments, aircraft owners, and flight operations teams. Streamline flight logging, expense tracking, team coordination, and compliance monitoring—all in one intuitive app. Quick Flight Logging with Optional NFC Tags Place an NFC tag in your aircraft's cockpit and transform flight logging into fast TAP'N'TRACK system. Scan the tag with your iPhone to instantly open the flight logging screen for that specific aircraft. The intelligent autofill system immediately populates your departure airport from where the aircraft last landed, suggests the arrival airport based on your current GPS location, and pre-fills the tachometer time from the previous flight (verify and adjust as needed). Cycle counts increment automatically. Intelligent Autofill That Saves Time Aviops eliminates redundant data entry. When you open a new flight log, departure airports auto-fill from the previous flight's destination, arrival airports intelligently suggest based on your GPS location, and tachometer readings pre-fill from the last flight. Simply verify the values, make adjustments, and enter your time-in. The app calculates total flight time in real-time. Corporate Team Management Built In Aviops excels for corporate flight departments with robust multi-pilot capabilities. Aircraft owners/managers invite pilots via email, granting access to specific aircraft. Each pilot maintains their own login, and every entry—flights, expenses, maintenance—automatically tracks who made it and when, ensuring complete accountability. Shared access keeps your entire team synchronized. When one pilot logs a flight, everyone with access immediately sees updated aircraft info across all their devices in real-time. Flight Scheduling with Push Notifications Coordinate your team with the built-in scheduling system. View upcoming flights in month, week, or list view. Schedule aircraft assignments to specific pilots and prevent double-bookings. Push notifications alert pilots to upcoming flights, schedule changes, and assignments, keeping everyone informed without manual coordination. The integrated calendar shows your entire operation at a glance—perfect for planning maintenance windows, coordinating pilot availability, and optimizing aircraft utilization. Switch between fleet management and schedule calendar with one tap. Both views share real-time data, so changes immediately reflect across your team's devices. Comprehensive Tracking Log all critical flight parameters with an interface designed for speed. Dynamic route management lets you build multi-leg trips with a tap. The system automatically calculates cycles, tracks fuel consumption, records payment details, captures CAA remarks, and monitors oil levels. Track every expense: maintenance, repairs, inspections, fuel, hangar fees, insurance. Categorize expenses, attach receipts, and track payments. Generate comprehensive reports combining operations and expenses over any date range. Track costs per flight hour and identify maintenance trends. Fleet-Wide Visibility The home screen presents your fleet in easy-to-scan cards showing current location, fuel and oil levels, and compliance status. Visual gauges display fuel and oil with interactive sight glass interfaces mirroring actual aircraft instrumentation. Quick-access buttons let you log flights, add fuel, record oil changes, or log expenses instantly. Compliance Monitoring Track VOR checks, tire pressure inspections, and recurring maintenance with automatic due date calculations. Visual indicators show when checks are due soon or overdue, helping you maintain compliance effortlessly. Built for Reliability Aviops runs natively on iPhone and iPad with real-time cloud synchronization. Your data is always current across all devices, automatically backed up, and accessible anywhere.
