Every aircraft's history, read, audited and kept current. PreFlight Pro is an aircraft records analysis and audit platform for owners, flight departments, MROs, brokers, insurers, lenders and acquisition teams. Upload the logbooks and PreFlight Pro reads every page, rebuilds the aircraft's complete history and checks it against the manufacturer's maintenance requirements. Each new work order, inspection or logbook entry is added as it arrives, so the result is a living audit that follows the aircraft for as long as you own, maintain, insure or sell it. A LIVING AUDIT, NOT A ONE-TIME REPORT Most records reviews are out of date the day they're delivered. A PreFlight Pro audit keeps going: add new records and compliance, component histories and findings update to match. See what's coming due, what was done late and what's missing. When it's time to sell, refinance or renew coverage, freeze a snapshot of the audit as it stands. THE WHOLE RECORD, READ FOR YOU — Scan or upload logbooks, work orders, status reports and certificates. Advanced AI reads every page: entries, signatures, serial numbers, hours, cycles and dates. — Maintenance compliance against the maintenance manual. Every scheduled inspection and task is tracked through each interval: when it was done, at what hours and cycles, whether it was on time or late, and when it is next due. Schedule changes are followed over time, and package inspections are credited to the tasks they include. — Tracking program cross-check. Your maintenance tracking report is compared against the logbooks, and every discrepancy is flagged: a missing sign-off, a date that disagrees, a component tracked against the wrong serial. — Component and engine history. Follow every serialized part through installs, removals and shop visits, with engine hours, cycles and inspection history. — Damage, modifications, ADs and ownership. Incidents and repairs, STCs and alterations, AD compliance, and the registration chain, each in its own timeline. EVERY ANSWER HAS A SOURCE Tap any finding to open the exact logbook page behind it, with the relevant text highlighted. In the document viewer, serial numbers and task references are live links to their complete history. Anyone can check the work. INSPECT ON THE RAMP — Structured exterior and interior inspections with photos, notes and ratings. — Dictate as you walk. Speech is transcribed on-device and the audio never leaves your iPad. — 3D-scan the aircraft for a visual record beyond photos. SHARE A LINK, NOT A FILE One tap creates a secure link to the living audit or a frozen snapshot. Owners, maintenance providers, buyers, lenders and insurers open it on any device, no app required. Revoke access anytime. Every view is logged. FEATURES AT A GLANCE • AI analysis of complete logbook sets and maintenance records • Living audit that updates as new records arrive • Frozen snapshots for sales, financing and renewals • Maintenance manual compliance, interval by interval • Tracking program discrepancy report • Component, engine, damage, modification and AD histories • Ownership and registration chain • Source-linked findings with highlighted logbook pages • Inspection templates with photos and on-device dictation • 3D aircraft scanning • Secure link sharing with an access log • Enterprise SSO (Azure AD, Google Workspace, Okta) and Face ID / Touch ID • Team workspaces with role-based permissions REQUIRES A PREFLIGHT PRO ACCOUNT PreFlight Pro is a business service sold directly to aircraft owners, maintenance teams and aviation companies. Contact sales@preflight.pro. PRIVACY AND SECURITY PreFlight Pro collects only what the service needs: your work email and name for sign-in, and the records and inspection content you provide. Data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). We do not use third-party analytics and we do not sell your data. Dictation audio is processed on-device and never transmitted.
