Purpose-built for aviation

Why "PartFive"

The name comes from 14 CFR Part 5 — the FAA's framework for Safety Management Systems. Today, Part 5 is formally required only for the largest aviation operators. But ICAO recommends SMS for every training organization, insurance carriers increasingly favor it, and the regulatory direction is clear: SMS is the future of every aviation operation.

PartFive exists to make that future accessible now. Part 5-aligned safety management — for the smaller operators, flight training organizations, and independent instructors who aren't required to do it, but should, and increasingly want to.

Our mission

PartFive was built by a working aviation safety professional, in a real flight training operation, doing real safety work — not by a software company guessing what aviation needs. The goal: raise the floor of safety management across the operators who don't have access to enterprise-grade tools, and make doing the right thing easier than not doing it.

For flight training organizations, that means audit-ready SOPs, manageable SMS workflows, and a single record of truth. For independent instructors, that means keeping track of every student's progress, every endorsement, and the safety trends in your own operation — the same discipline the big organizations have, in a tool built for one CFI. Every feature in PartFive comes from a real operational need. Every regulatory reference is from work actually being done in the field.

Who it's for

Step one

Set up your organization

Create your organization in minutes. Choose between flight training organization or independent instructor — the right tools appear for your operation type automatically.

Step three

Operate with audit-ready records

Every safety report, endorsement, flight, and stage check is tracked, signed, and exportable. When your FSDO calls, everything is already in order.

Why PartFive

Built differently

Not another general-purpose compliance tool adapted for aviation. Built from day one for this specific work.

Built in the field

Designed by aviation safety professionals doing the work daily, in a real flight training operation — not by a software company guessing what aviation needs.

Regulatorily aligned

FAR 141.36, FAR 141.63, AC 61-65K, FAR 91.211, FAR 91.207, and more — cited where they apply, with the right discipline built into the workflow, not bolted on as an afterthought.

Audit trail on everything

Every regulated action — endorsements, sign-offs, promotions, revocations — is signed, dated, and immutable. The record is always there when you need it.

Mobile-ready

Web today, iPhone and iPad coming. Designed to be picked up on the flight line, not just at a desk. The right information, in the right context, wherever the work happens.
