The problem
Part 142 training centers run on
disconnected tools and binders
FAA-approved training centers have the most demanding compliance requirements in aviation training — and the least purpose-built software to meet them.
Compliance records
Curriculum approvals, courseware versions, and check instructor records live in spreadsheets, binders, or a shared drive someone updates by hand. FAA audit prep takes days.
Simulator scheduling
Simulators get booked on a generic shared calendar. It knows nothing about device type, qualification level, or maintenance windows. Double-bookings happen, and utilization is invisible.
Student & instructor records
Enrollment, stage checks, endorsements, and FAA logbook entries sit in binders, spreadsheets, and systems that don't talk to each other. No one has a single source of truth for a student's training status.
Billing
Invoices get built from estimates instead of actual logged Hobbs time. Every billing cycle, someone reconciles flight records, simulator logs, and the accounting system by hand. Hours get missed. Disputes happen.
How it works
Built around how
Part 142 actually operates.
AviationAlley is designed around the compliance, scheduling, and billing realities of an FAA-approved training center — not adapted from generic school management software.
1
Configure your ATO
Set up your approved training organization — simulators by device type and qualification level, instructors, curriculum packages, and Part 142 compliance requirements. Takes hours, not weeks.
2
Run daily operations
Enroll students, schedule simulators and instructors, log Hobbs time, capture endorsements and stage checks, and record FAA-required training documentation — all in one platform, connected by design.
3
Audit-ready, always
Curriculum approvals, courseware versions, check instructor qualifications, and student training records organized and exportable at any time. The next FAA inspection is not a weeks-long scramble — it's a button.
One platform, every Part
Built to run an entire
FAA operation — from one system.
Part 142 is the core today. AviationAlley is built to run every FAA Part a training, flight, charter, or maintenance operation lives under — on one platform, rolling out Part by Part.
On the build
Everything we’re building
— one platform, every Part
AviationAlley is in active development, rolling out Part by Part. Here is what each operation runs inside the platform — compliance records, scheduling, training records, and billing, purpose-built per Part instead of bolted onto a generic tool.
- Crew currency, recurrent training, and qualification records in one place.
- Aircraft scheduling, squawks, and maintenance-status visibility.
- Compliance and document storage for inspections and insurance.
- Internal cost allocation and chargeback across departments or owners.
- Crew qualification, currency, and recurrent-training tracking against ops-spec requirements.
- Trip and aircraft scheduling with crew-legality awareness.
- Training and checking records kept inspection-ready.
- Client and charter billing, including B2B accounts.
- Approved curriculum and syllabus versioning with stage-check tracking.

- Attendance and instructor records, audit-ready.
- Tuition and program billing, including financed students.
FAA compliance, first-class
Every compliance requirement
built in from day one
Most training software treats Part 142 requirements as edge cases or checkbox fields. AviationAlley is architected around them — simulator scheduling, check instructor qualifications, and curriculum version control are core features, not add-ons.
- Curriculum approval tracking — active and superseded courseware versions maintained automatically, no manual version log
- Check instructor qualification records — currency, endorsements, and evaluation history in one place and always current
- Simulator qualification level and device type tracked per booking — FSTD, FTD, and ATD recorded on every session
- FAA-required training records: logbook entries, endorsements, stage checks, and Practical Test Standards completion
- Student training folders audit-ready at any time — exportable as a complete, organized record set
- Compliance dashboard showing open items across all students, instructors, and simulator devices
Part 142
Not a checkbox — an architecture decision
Part 142 compliance is baked into the data model from the start. Simulator sessions, training records, and curriculum documents are first-class objects. They are not custom fields layered onto a generic scheduling tool.
One click
FAA audit preparation
Because compliance records are maintained continuously in AviationAlley, audit prep is an export — not a weeks-long scramble through binders and shared drives. The records are always there, always complete.
Zero binders
Required after setup
Every document the FAA wants to see lives in AviationAlley — curriculum approvals, check instructor sign-offs, student training records. Physical binders become a backup, not the system of record.
Scheduling and B2B billing, connected
Hobbs time logged once.
Billed to the right client. Reconciled to the wire.
Part 142 centers don't bill students — they bill airlines, charter operators, corporate flight departments, and Part 141 schools. AviationAlley is built for that reality. Hobbs time rolls up to a named client account. Invoices age against that account. International wires reconcile back to the invoices that funded them.
- Simulator scheduling with device type, qualification level, and maintenance window awareness — no more booking an unavailable sim
- Aircraft scheduling with Hobbs start/end logging tied directly to the trainee training record
- Instructor scheduling with conflict detection across simulators, aircraft, and ground sessions simultaneously
- Client accounts for airlines, charter operators, Part 121/135 carriers, corporate flight departments, and Part 141 schools — pilots roll up to the org that pays for their training
- Invoice aging buckets (current, 30, 60, 90, 90+) with the wire-transfer alert summary right on the billing hub
- International wire transfer queue: SWIFT/UETR references, 20 currencies with live USD conversion, BSA/FinCEN CTR and OFAC flags, 8-state lifecycle from INITIATED to APPLIED
B2B
Built for who actually pays the bill
Stripe-style consumer checkout is the wrong model for an ATO. Real Part 142 revenue comes in as international wires from airlines and corporate flight departments — so client accounts and wire reconciliation are the billing primitives, not card-on-file.
SWIFT/UETR
Wire references and FinCEN compliance built in
CTR auto-flags transactions ≥ $10K (31 CFR §1010.311), OFAC review fields, IRS Form 8300 notice, and 5-year retention reminders (31 CFR §1010.316). Wire references auto-generated in WT‑YYYY‑NNNN format on every transfer.
One queue
Received wires reconciled against open invoices
The wire-transfer queue and the invoice ledger share the same view. Mark a wire received, link it to the open invoice it funded, and the client's aging drops automatically — no separate accounting export to keep in sync.
How it stacks up
AviationAlley vs. how
training centers operate today
Generic CRM and scheduling tools weren’t built for FAA compliance. Paper binders don’t scale. AviationAlley is the first platform purpose-built for Part 142 training centers.

Feature deep dive
Ten features built
for Part 142.
From compliance records to Hobbs-based billing — every workflow an FAA-approved training center runs, purpose-built as connected requirements.
01 / 12
● Building now
Part 142 compliance dashboard
Open items across all students, instructors, and simulator devices — visible in a single compliance dashboard. Curriculum approvals, check instructor qualifications, courseware version history, and FAA-required training records tracked continuously. Audit prep is an export, not a weeks-long scramble through binders and shared drives.
02 / 12
● Building now
FAA curriculum & courseware tracking
Approved training programs and courseware versions live in the platform. Active and superseded versions are maintained automatically — no manual version log. The Part 142 requirement to keep a complete, current training program is a first-class data model, not a folder of PDFs someone updates by hand.
03 / 12
● Building now
Student enrollment & training records
Enrollment, stage checks, endorsements, FAA logbook entries, and Practical Test Standards completion all live in one training folder per student. No binders. No disconnected spreadsheets. Export any folder as a complete, organized record set at any time — what the FAA wants to see is always there.
04 / 12
● Building now
Check instructor qualification tracking
Check instructor currency, endorsements, and evaluation history stay current in the platform — not assembled by hand before an inspection. This is where Part 142 centers scramble hardest before an FAA audit. AviationAlley tracks it continuously, so the record is ready when the inspector shows up.
05 / 12
Q3–Q4 2026
Simulator scheduling & utilization
Schedule full-motion and fixed-base simulators on a calendar that understands FSTD, FTD, and ATD designations, qualification levels, and maintenance windows. Double-bookings are eliminated. Every session records the device designation the FAA requires. Utilization is tracked per device, so capacity decisions run on data instead of guesswork.
06 / 12
● Live
Invoice aging + wire-transfer reconciliation
A billing hub shows invoice aging buckets (current, 30, 60, 90, 90+) next to the wire-transfer alert summary. Pending wires sit one click from the invoices they fund. Mark a wire received and link it to the open invoice — the client's aging adjusts automatically. Reconciliation lives where the receivable lives, not in a separate accounting export.
07 / 12
● Live
Role-based staff workspaces
Each of the seven staff roles (Owner, Admin, Manager, Instructor, Dispatcher, Maintenance, Auditor) sees only what their job needs. Dedicated pages for endorsements, session requests, and staff workload sit alongside the schedule and work-orders queue. FAA evaluators get time-limited, read-only auditor access that expires automatically — no background job, no forgotten credentials. Write access is gated to maintenance roles and above by default.
08 / 12
● Live
Client account management
Airlines, charter operators, Part 121/135 carriers, corporate flight departments, and Part 141 schools are tracked as named client accounts. Each client manager gets their own portal. It shows their pilots' training status, medical expiry alerts, and upcoming sessions — cleanly separate from the center's internal staff interface.
09 / 12
● Live
BSA/FinCEN-compliant wire transfers
International wire transfers ship with BSA/FinCEN compliance built in. Transactions of $10K or more auto-flag for CTR (31 CFR §1010.311). OFAC flags, 5-year retention reminders (31 CFR §1010.316), and the IRS Form 8300 notice are included. 20 currencies convert to USD at live rates, and wire references auto-generate in WT‑YYYY‑NNNN format.
10 / 12
● Live
Trainee-facing portal
Students get their own portal for training progress, upcoming sessions, history, and billing. It is a separate experience, not a shared login with a different homepage. Every view is built around what a student needs to see — not a pared-down version of the admin panel.
11 / 12
● Live
In-app notifications center
One read/unread feed surfaces what needs attention across the center: compliance flags, time-off requests, billing events, and session changes. No more scattered emails. Old notifications age out automatically on a retention schedule, so the feed stays current without becoming noise.
12 / 12
● Live
QuickBooks invoice bridge
Send a B2B client invoice straight to QuickBooks Online with one action. The bridge maps the invoice and client account into QBO, so your books stay reconciled without double entry. The receivable lives in AviationAlley with the training records. The accounting record lands in QuickBooks, where your bookkeeper already works.

Common questions
Things Part 142 training centers ask us.
What is AviationAlley?
AviationAlley is an operations platform purpose-built for FAA Part 142 approved training centers. It covers the full operational lifecycle — student enrollment and progress tracking, simulator and instructor scheduling, FAA-compliant training records, curriculum version control, Hobbs-based billing, and student payments — in one connected platform.
Who is AviationAlley for?
AviationAlley is built specifically for Part 142 approved training centers — the directors, chief instructors, schedulers, and administrators who manage FAA-approved simulator training programs. If you run an ATO with FSTD, FTD, or ATD devices and the compliance burden that comes with Part 142 approval, AviationAlley is built around your operation.
How does AviationAlley handle Part 142 compliance records?
AviationAlley maintains curriculum approval status, courseware version history, check instructor qualifications, and student training records as first-class data — not custom fields in a generic tool. Every FAA-required document is stored, versioned, and exportable at any time. Audit preparation becomes an export, not a scramble.
How does simulator scheduling work in AviationAlley?
AviationAlley schedules simulators with awareness of device type (FSTD, FTD, ATD), qualification level, and maintenance windows. It detects conflicts across instructors, students, and devices simultaneously. Every session is tied to the student training record and drives billing automatically from logged Hobbs time — no manual transfer between systems.
How does AviationAlley handle Hobbs-based billing?
Hobbs time is logged directly in AviationAlley when a simulator or aircraft session is completed. That time drives the invoice automatically — simulator rates, aircraft rates, and ground instruction billed at the correct rates without manual entry or reconciliation. Invoices go to the student portal for ACH, card, or Apple Pay payment.
Is AviationAlley different from ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot?
Yes — completely different product category. ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot are cockpit tools for pilots. AviationAlley is a business operations platform for the training center running the program — scheduling, compliance records, student management, and billing. Different problem, different user, different platform.
Does AviationAlley replace a training management system (TMS)?
Yes, for Part 142 training centers. AviationAlley handles student enrollment, curriculum tracking, FAA-required records, simulator scheduling, instructor management, and billing in one platform. It replaces the patchwork of a scheduling tool, a records binder, a billing spreadsheet, and a generic LMS that most ATOs are running today.
When will AviationAlley launch?
AviationAlley is in active development. Early access is opening to a founding cohort of Part 142 training centers. Check roffik.com/aviationalley/ or use the contact form to get in the queue.
What software do Part 142 training centers use today?
Most Part 142 ATOs today run a combination of a generic scheduling tool (Google Calendar, Aero Manager), a training records binder or spreadsheet, a separate billing system, and manual FAA compliance tracking. AviationAlley replaces all four with one platform built around the specific compliance and scheduling demands of a Part 142 operation.
How does AviationAlley compare to Aero Manager or other aviation school software?
Aero Manager and similar tools were designed primarily for Part 61 flight schools — aircraft scheduling, instructor booking, and student records. They handle Part 142 compliance as an add-on, not a foundation. AviationAlley is architected from day one around Part 142 requirements: curriculum version control, check instructor qualification tracking, FSTD/FTD/ATD scheduling with qualification awareness, and Hobbs-connected billing.
