The operations system your fleet deserves, not survives on.
AVops is a single system of record for fleet status, maintenance, pilot credentials and training records — built for how Indian flight schools and charter operators actually run, not how an enterprise ERP wishes they did.
- Fleet, people & maintenance in one place
- Priced in INR
What’s inside the platform
One board, instead of three copies of the truth.
A short look at the MVP: fleet status, expiry and history in one place.
A small market, growing fast.

Ministry of Civil Aviation estimate
Most Indian flight schools and charter operators still run safety-critical operations on spreadsheets and group chats.
It works, until it doesn’t — a double-booked aircraft, an expired medical that slips through, or a record someone asks for that you can’t find in the room. AVops exists to close that gap.
Three copies of the truth
Fleet status lives in one sheet, maintenance in another, and the real answer is whatever the chief engineer remembers from this morning.
Dispatch decisions over WhatsApp
Whether an aircraft is airworthy right now gets decided in a group chat, not a system that can show its work later.
Expiries found the hard way
A medical, a licence or an ARC lapses quietly until someone notices at the worst possible moment — on the ramp.
Finding a record takes days
When someone asks for an aircraft’s history or a pilot’s hours, it turns into days of hunting through binders, folders and someone’s inbox.
No one knows who changed what
When something changes — a status, a sign-off, a log entry — there is rarely a reliable record of who did it and when.
Growth makes it worse
A second base or a bigger fleet does not scale a spreadsheet. It just multiplies the places the truth can go missing.
Five modules. One source of truth.
Every module writes to the same operational record, so a status change in Fleet shows up instantly in Maintenance, Records and every dashboard that depends on it.
Know what can fly, right now.
A live registry for every tail number — status, hours, documents and base — with a warning at booking and dispatch for anything on record that affects a flight, confirmed before it goes.
- Aircraft registry with registration, specs and ownership
- Active / maintenance / grounded / AOG status lifecycle
- Airframe hours & cycles tracked from real flight logs
- Document vault for registration, airworthiness & insurance
A second in command for every question on the ramp.
AI-SIC is the assistant built into AVops. Ask it anything about your aircraft, people and maintenance — in plain words, from the hangar or the ramp.
Asks your own records
Fleet status, maintenance forecasts, crew currency and bookings — answered from the same system of record, not a guess.
Spots what’s coming up
Checks due, documents expiring and aircraft close to their limits — flagged before anyone has to go looking.
Drafts the paperwork
Maintenance summaries, aircraft history reports and expiry reminders drafted for a human to review and send.
Like a real SIC, it supports the decision and never makes it. Every answer points to the record behind it, and anything safety-critical still needs a human sign-off.
Built for a five-aircraft flying school, not a five-hundred-aircraft airline.
Global flight-school and MRO software is priced and designed for large operators in Europe and the US. AVops starts from the other end: a small Indian operator, its aircraft, its people and its own maintenance schedule.
Priced in INR, built for a 1–10 aircraft operator—not an airline budget
Receipts in rupees, from each aircraft’s wet or dry price per Hobbs hour
Maintenance schedules per type of operation — training and charter — owned by your team
Your data stays in India
Every number on this site is sourced, and we won’t publish one we can’t point to. Read the research.
- Step 1
Add your aircraft and your people
Tail numbers, hours and documents for every aircraft; licences, medicals and ratings for every pilot, instructor and engineer.
- Step 2
Set your maintenance schedule by type of flying
Training and charter aircraft each get their own checks and intervals — set up and owned by your engineers, for your planning.
- Every day
See what’s due before it’s overdue
Upcoming checks, open snags and expiring documents on one screen, with reminders well before anything lapses.
- Any time
Pull any record in one click
An aircraft’s maintenance history or a pilot’s hours, ready whenever a client, a partner or your own team asks for it.
We’re building this with operators, not in a vacuum.
The MVP is built. AVops is still pre-launch: before anything is sold, we’re putting it in front of fleet managers and CFIs and changing it around what they tell us. If you run a flight school or charter operation, this is a good time to see it.
Market research
Researched Indian flight schools, charter operators and the competitive landscape, sourced and footnoted.
MVP build
Fleet, maintenance due, people and expiry tracking, scheduling and a full change history. Built and working end to end, ready to demo.
Design partner conversations
Showing the MVP to flight schools and charter operators, and learning how they actually run fleet, maintenance and records today.
Pilot with first operators
A small, hands-on rollout with early partners before anything is sold more broadly.
AI-SIC assistant
The second in command: answers from your records, with sources, built on the data the MVP captures.
A pilot and a builder, not a consultant guessing at the problem.
AVops is founded by a US-based private pilot and software engineer who wanted to bring the operational discipline of modern software to the side of aviation that still runs on binders and group chats. The plan isn’t to guess what flight schools and charter operators need — it’s to build it with them, starting with the research on this page.
If you operate a flight school, training academy or charter fleet in India and want a say in what gets built, that conversation starts below.
Running a flight school or charter fleet in India?
The MVP is built, and we’re looking for a handful of design partners to shape what comes next. No sales pitch — a walkthrough on your kind of fleet, and a conversation about how you actually run fleet, maintenance and records today.
