Aircraft MaintenanceSoftware
Stop tracking maintenance in spreadsheets. Aviatize automates inspection schedules, squawk resolution, parts inventory, and work order execution — so your fleet stays airworthy and your records stay audit-ready.
In short
How does Aviatize keep an aircraft maintenance program airworthy and audit-ready?
Aviatize updates every maintenance counter automatically when a flight closes, then alerts you before an inspection or AD action comes due — so nothing slips past its deadline. Because maintenance is part of one flight school management platform, a blocking squawk takes the aircraft off the booking schedule in the same action, and every work order, part, and release certificate leaves a complete digital audit trail.
At a glance
- Tracking by Hobbs hours, flight cycles, calendar dates, turbine cycles, and ACTT — up to 5 custom counters per aircraft
- Counters update automatically after every flight, with alerts when inspections or AD/SB actions are due
- Squawk reporting from the pilot's mobile app into a triage queue, with real-time aircraft status
- Work orders and work packs with assigned technicians and a full digital audit trail
- Parts inventory across warehouses, bins, and shelves with shelf-life and Form 1 / 8130-3 traceability
- Closing a work order itemizes parts and labour straight onto an invoice or internal cost account
Aviatize maintenance tracking vs. spreadsheets and separate tools
Tracking a fleet on spreadsheets means reconciling flight logs against maintenance schedules by hand, every week. Because Aviatize maintenance is connected to scheduling and billing, that reconciliation is automatic.
| Capability | Spreadsheets & separate tools | With Aviatize |
|---|---|---|
| Hour & cycle tracking | Flight logs re-keyed into spreadsheets and reconciled by hand every week | Hobbs, cycles, calendar, and turbine counters update automatically when a flight closes |
| Inspection & AD/SB deadlines | Due dates watched manually; an overlooked deadline grounds the aircraft | Automatic alerts when 100-hour, annual, AD, or Service Bulletin actions come due |
| Squawk handling | Discrepancies noted on paper and relayed verbally to maintenance | Pilots report squawks from the mobile app into a triage queue; aircraft status updates in real time |
| Work orders | Labour and parts recorded on paper job cards with no consolidated audit trail | Work orders and work packs assigned to technicians with a full digital audit trail |
| Parts inventory | Bins counted by hand; shelf-life and release certificates tracked in a binder | Parts tracked across warehouses and bins with shelf-life alerts and Form 1 / 8130-3 traceability |
| Billing for parts & labour | Parts and technician hours re-entered into separate billing and accounting tools | Closing a work order itemizes parts and labour onto a customer invoice or internal cost account automatically |
Aircraft Maintenance Runs on Counters, Documents, and Deadlines
Every airworthy aircraft is a stack of clocks running at once: Hobbs hours toward the next 100-hour inspection, calendar days toward the annual, cycles against component life limits, and engine hours toward TBO. On top of the clocks sit the documents — recurring Airworthiness Directives, Service Bulletins, and the Form 1 / 8130-3 release certificates that every installed part must carry. Tracking all of it on spreadsheets means someone reconciles flight logs against maintenance schedules by hand, every week, forever.
Aviatize updates every counter automatically when a flight closes, surfaces what is coming due before it grounds the aircraft, and routes every squawk from the pilot's mobile app into a triage queue the maintenance team works from. A blocking discrepancy takes the aircraft off the booking schedule in the same action — and a signed-off work order puts it back. For training fleets, where touch-and-go cycles age components faster than calendar time suggests, that connection between operations and maintenance is the whole point.
Everything You Need to Manage Aircraft Maintenance
From scheduled inspections and AD tracking to work order execution and parts inventory, Aviatize covers the full maintenance lifecycle.
Automatic Maintenance Tracking
Track maintenance by Hobbs hours, flight cycles, calendar dates, turbine cycles, and ACTT. Configure up to 5 custom counters per aircraft. All counters update automatically after each flight.
Squawk Reporting & Resolution
Pilots report technical discrepancies directly in Aviatize or through the mobile app. The maintenance team is notified instantly and can defer or address the issue. Aircraft status updates in real-time.
Work Order Management
Create, assign, and track work orders from creation to sign-off. Record labor time, parts used, and completion status. Technicians execute tasks on tablet or mobile with a full digital audit trail.
Parts Inventory Management
Track parts across warehouses, bins, and shelves. Scan part codes to allocate them to work packages. Get automatic alerts when quantities drop below minimum levels. Monitor shelf-life and serial numbers.
AD & Service Bulletin Tracking
Configure and track Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins by applicability — whether one-time actions or recurring events. Automatic alerts when action is due so nothing slips through the cracks.
Custom Maintenance Programs
Build maintenance programs from a master schedule, import existing plans, or create from scratch. Track tasks by flight hours, landing cycles, calendar time, or any required parameter. Add margins for flexibility.
Why Maintenance Teams Switch to Aviatize
Aviatize maintenance is part of a complete flight school management platform. Unlike standalone maintenance trackers, it connects directly to scheduling, billing, and training.

Frequently asked questions
What is aircraft maintenance software?
Aircraft maintenance software automates inspection scheduling, work order management, parts tracking, and compliance documentation for aviation maintenance operations. It replaces spreadsheets and paper logs with digital tracking that updates automatically after every flight — keeping your fleet airworthy and your records audit-ready.
How does Aviatize track aircraft maintenance?
Aviatize tracks maintenance by Hobbs hours, flight cycles, calendar dates, turbine cycles, and ACTT. You can configure up to 5 custom counters per aircraft. All counters update automatically after each flight. The system sends automatic alerts when inspections or AD actions are due.
Does Aviatize support MRO and third-party aircraft maintenance?
Yes. Aviatize handles both in-house fleet maintenance and third-party MRO services. Track and maintain aircraft owned by third parties, provide owners with digital access to their asset records, and generate invoices for maintenance services — all within the same platform.
Does Aviatize include parts inventory management?
Yes. Track parts across warehouses, bins, and shelves by part number and serial number. Scan part codes to allocate them to work packages. Get automatic alerts when quantities drop below minimum levels. Monitor shelf-life and expiry dates for full traceability.
Does maintenance tie into billing and accounting for parts, labour, and customer work?
Yes. Aviatize is built so billing and accounting are first-class citizens alongside maintenance, scheduling, and training — not bolted on. When a work order closes, parts consumed and technician labour are itemized automatically and pushed to the customer invoice (for owner-operator work) or the internal cost account (for fleet maintenance). The line items flow in real time to QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, or Exact Online with line-item GL mapping. Engine reserves, parts revenue, labour revenue, and consumables are kept separate so the workshop's profitability is visible without manual reclassification.
How much does aircraft maintenance software cost?
Aviatize pricing starts at $29 per aircraft per month with unlimited users. Maintenance tracking, work orders, parts inventory, scheduling, billing, contract management, accounting integration, and training are all included in one platform. A 30-day guided trial is available after a 30-minute fit call so we tailor it to your school.
