Part 135 Operations and Compliance in One Ecosystem
Connect airworthiness, records, training, QA, maintenance tracking, RFQs, quotes, vendor coordination, handoffs, and audit visibility across your operation.
Airworthiness with the records behind it
Per-tail due lists with extracted AD/SB obligations beside scheduled maintenance — every line tied to the source record, so status and paperwork stay aligned.
The certificate-holder stack
Training requirements by role and team with auto-ingested certificates. DOT/drug & alcohol program rosters reconciled from the monthly PDF. QA findings tracked open to closure with evidence.
Operations in the same ecosystem
RFQs, vendor quotes, maintenance events, aircraft status, and handoffs connect to the same records and compliance spine — one picture from due list to closeout.
Ask Chief which tails are clear for tomorrow's trips, what's blocking the rest, and what training expires before the next check ride.
Grounded only in your records. Nothing invented. People sign — faster.
Founding program
$650–$850 /tail/month, fleet tiers
Founding program: rate locked, certificates and rosters imported with you, founder-led onboarding. Optional operations layer +$500–$800/tail by scope.
The stack it replaces: $1.2k–$2.3k per tail / month

The picture lives in ten places
Most Part 135 operations already have the data. It lives across CAMP, Veryon, or Traxxall for tracking; Bluetail or shared drives for records; scanned logbooks; spreadsheets for training and rosters; vendor portals and email threads for quotes and updates; and tribal knowledge for everything in between.
The problem is rarely a missing number — it's that every system carries only part of the picture. Over time, records, due lists, component status, AD/SB tracking, maintenance events, and vendor updates drift apart, and nobody notices until a pre-buy, a conformity check, or an audit forces a reconciliation.
A due list is only as strong as the records, status, and ownership behind it.
The Part 135 compliance stack
The base layer: airworthiness, records, training, and audit visibility for the certificate — built for operators, DOMs, aircraft managers, records teams, and flight departments.
Aircraft airworthiness visibility
Per-tail due lists with scheduled maintenance, AD/SB obligations, engines, and discrepancies ranked together — with the records behind every line.
Maintenance tracking support
Tracking that stays tied to the source documents, so the due list and the records don't drift apart between events.
AD/SB & component status visibility
Obligations extracted from the documents and evaluated against real hours and cycles; life-limited component status computed from install records.
Training & authorization tracking
Requirements by role and person, certificates ingested to the roster, expirations surfaced before a check ride or assignment forces the question.
DOT / drug & alcohol roster support
Monthly roster reconciliation with a searchable trail behind every add and drop.
QA findings & corrective action tracking
Findings tracked open-to-closure with owners, evidence, and effectiveness follow-up.
Audit evidence & inspection readiness
Every grant, override, and renewal searchable; one-page packets print when the inspector calls.
Records review & document control
Uploads become structured, sourced records — with review queues that keep your people in the loop on every acceptance.
Due list reconciliation support
Incoming records matched against the tracked program in a confirm-before-clearing review queue — nothing advances a clock without a human decision.
FAA / conformity / pre-buy support
Times, custody history, component status, and open items assembled from the records — before the event forces the issue.
Add-on
Optional Full Maintenance Operations Layer
For operators and aircraft management teams that need more than compliance tracking, Jet Lens can extend into the daily maintenance operation. The same ecosystem can support RFQs, vendor quotes, maintenance event tracking, discrepancy follow-up, document collection, aircraft status, handoffs, and audit-ready closeout — adapted for operators from the broader maintenance operations stack.
RFQs & vendor quote tracking
Scope a visit from the due list, send one request, and track quotes in the same thread.
Maintenance event tracking
Every event from scope to closeout, tied to the tail and its records.
Aircraft status & downtime visibility
Who's flying, who's down, and what's blocking return to service.
Discrepancy follow-up
Squawks tracked from report to rectification with sign-off evidence.
Vendor & MRO coordination
Requests, quotes, documents, and updates kept aligned per vendor and per event.
Document collection & closeout
Work orders, 8130-3s, and log entries collected against the event they close.
Internal handoffs
Shift and role handoffs recorded, so the operational picture survives the person.
QA & audit visibility
The operational trail your auditor reads is the same one your team works in.
Training & authorization gaps
Who's current and authorized for the work being assigned — surfaced at assignment, not after.
Compliance-ready records support
What operations produce lands back in the records — filed, sourced, and searchable.
Pricing
Base Part 135 Compliance Stack
$650–$850
per tail/month
Optional Full Operations Layer
+$500–$800
per tail/month, depending on scope, modules, and implementation needs
Operators can start with the compliance stack and add the operations layer when they want RFQs, quotes, maintenance events, vendor coordination, aircraft status, handoffs, and closeout visibility connected to the same ecosystem.
Why it matters
When records, tracking, maintenance events, and vendor updates live in different places, teams end up making decisions from partial information. Jet Lens helps operators keep the operational picture aligned before a pre-buy, conformity, audit, trip requirement, or maintenance event forces the issue.
What it costs to compete with one JetLens subscription
Typical market pricing for the point systems a Part 135 operator assembles today. Ranges reflect published list prices and common contract values; your quotes may vary — the disconnection between the systems doesn't.

One certificate, one ecosystem
A 135 runs airworthiness, records, training, QA, and vendors. Today that's three or four systems plus spreadsheets. JetLens connects those workflows on one spine.
The audit math
One finding avoided — one missed AD, one lapsed authorization caught — pays for the year.
Days, not quarters
No implementation project. Baseline the fleet, upload the documents, import the roster — live the same week.
