Platform

Everything light aircraft operators need to plan, track and prove maintenance status

Trails AMS brings aircraft bookings, maintenance requirements, defects, components, work orders, provider workflows and conformance evidence into one connected aircraft management system.

Aircraft planning calendar

Plan aircraft bookings, scheduled flying and maintenance downtime with aircraft availability and maintenance status in view.

Auto-maintenance activation

Once an aircraft is configured, Trails AMS can automatically activate maintenance work orders when configured requirements become due.

Learn more

Operator maintenance oversight

Review airworthiness, upcoming maintenance, open defects, components, records and aircraft status from one operator workspace.

Learn more

Conformance evidence

Track maintenance requirements, completed tasks, sign-offs and supporting records so operators can prove what has been done.

Aviation sectors

Designed for light aircraft operations, without limiting where you can grow

Light aircraft operators often manage bookings, maintenance coordination, defect follow-up, records and compliance visibility with small teams. Trails AMS is built for that reality while remaining flexible enough for larger or more complex fleets.

How Trails AMS works

From aircraft setup to automatic work orders and traceable sign-off

Configure the aircraft once

Set up the aircraft, components, maintenance requirements, documents and operator relationships so Trails AMS has the structure needed to monitor ongoing maintenance status.

Automatically activate maintenance work orders

When configured maintenance requirements become due, Trails AMS can activate maintenance work orders so operators do not have to manually chase every recurring task.

Maintenance tasks follow aircraft and component requirements
icon
Due items can become controlled work orders
icon
Providers can turn authorised work into structured work packs

Connect the people around the aircraft

Operators, maintenance providers, pilots and engineers work from role-appropriate accounts while aircraft data remains controlled by the operator and traceable through the maintenance flow.

User roles

Designed around the people who keep aircraft flying

Trails AMS supports aircraft operators, maintenance providers, pilots and engineers without forcing every user into a single organisation silo. Real aviation relationships can be represented through controlled associations and access.

Aircraft operators: manage aircraft, requirements, defects, work orders and airworthiness visibility.
Maintenance providers: support authorised operator fleets, configure requirements where permitted and manage provider-side work packs.
Pilots: log flights, raise defects, complete flight plans and maintain pilot logbook records.
Engineers: complete assigned maintenance tasks and apply digital signatures for task sign-off.

Knowledge repositories

Reusable public repositories for maintenance programs and technical documents

Trails AMS is built to reduce duplicated data entry by allowing structured maintenance programs and technical references to be published, reused and linked into aircraft maintenance requirements.

Maintenance programs

Build searchable program references that can support aircraft maintenance scheduling and conformance.

Technical documents

Reference manuals, service information and technical data from shared repositories where appropriate.

Compliance evidence

Connect records, tasks and sign-offs to the requirements they satisfy for clearer oversight.

Conformance programs

Build aircraft conformance maintenance programs from applicable ADs, SBs, STCs and aviation authority rules, then link those requirements into aircraft maintenance tracking.

Use cases

Built for everyday light aircraft maintenance and operations scenarios

Trails AMS supports the practical workflows that often sit with the same person or small team in private, training, charter, scenic, utility and small commercial aircraft operations.

Aircraft Operators

Know if an aircraft is ready to fly

See bookings, airworthiness, upcoming maintenance, defects, components, work orders and maintenance records without digging through disconnected systems.

Learn more
Pilots

Log flights and raise defects at the source

Capture operational usage, defects, flight plans and pilot logbook records so aircraft status and maintenance triggers stay current.

Learn more
Maintenance Providers

Turn authorised work into controlled work packs

Coordinate maintenance activity, manage requirements on behalf of operators where access is granted, and guide engineers through task completion.
