One platform for your whole aviation operation.

AviationAlley is an operations platform built specifically for FAA Part 142 flight simulator training centers. It replaces the spreadsheets, whiteboards, and disconnected tools used for simulator scheduling, NSP compliance, training records, parts inventory, work orders, and trainee communication.

AviationAlley is built for FAA Part 142 training center operators that run Full Flight Simulators (FFS), Flight Training Devices (FTD), Aviation Training Devices (AATD/BATD), and the staff who schedule, maintain, and audit them — owners, training managers, dispatchers, instructors, and maintenance leads.

AviationAlley tracks every Part 142 and Part 60 NSP requirement with due dates and status (Compliant, Due Soon, Overdue, In Progress, Waived). It logs NSP evaluation history with pass/fail results, monitors instructor currency, and emails admins a compliance digest of overdue and due-soon items so nothing falls through the cracks before an FAA audit.

Yes. NSP evaluations are first-class records in AviationAlley: per simulator you log the evaluation date, evaluator name and organization, result (Pass / Fail / Conditional), findings, corrective actions, and the next due date. The Reports page shows your overall NSP pass rate alongside compliance health by category.

Simulator scheduling uses a week calendar with one column per simulator and 06:00–22:00 daily coverage. You book a session in two clicks, attach an instructor and trainee, and AviationAlley flags conflicts the moment you double-book a sim. Bookings carry briefing and debrief blocks and a session type (Initial Type Rating, Recurrent, LOE, Proficiency Check, Demo, Maintenance, NSP Evaluation).

Yes. Each part has a real per-part minimum-quantity threshold and a freeform location label inside your facility. Stock decrements automatically when a part is added to a work order and restores when removed. Work orders carry priority, status, an Assigned-to staff member, parts used with cost rollups, and notes — and they link back to the affected simulator.

Yes. Each trainee gets a unique secure portal link (no login required) that shows their upcoming simulator sessions, ground school sessions, training program enrollments with lesson-by-lesson progress, recent session history, and medical certificate expiry warnings. You can email portal links to the whole trainee roster in one action.

Pricing is tailored to your operation — how many simulators or aircraft you track and which modules you turn on — so we set it with you rather than posting a one-size number. Seats are always unlimited: every staff member you want in the system is included. The best next step is a short demo, where we'll walk through a plan that fits your operation (and a 30-day free trial is available once you're set up).

AviationAlley is delivered as web software with no on-site install required, so it works wherever a flight simulator training center operates. The product is built around the FAA Part 142 / Part 60 NSP rule set, but operators under equivalent regulatory frameworks (e.g. EASA-approved Type Rating Training Organisations) can use the operations features the same way — scheduling, training records, parts, work orders, and trainee portals are jurisdiction-agnostic.

Every record in AviationAlley is scoped to a `centerId` (a single training center workspace). Authentication is session-based, queries are filtered by the active center on the server, and members are gated by role — from Owner and Admin down to a read-only Auditor, with operational roles like Scheduler, Instructor, Dispatcher, Sim tech, and Maintenance in between. Compliance digests, reports, and exports never cross center boundaries.

Yes. Owners and Admins manage settings and invite staff. Managers can pull reports and run compliance digests. Instructors see schedules and training records relevant to their assignments. Sim techs and maintenance staff work the inventory, parts, and work-order surfaces. Auditors get read-only access — useful for FAA evaluators and external reviewers.

Yes. The compliance digest emails Owners, Admins, and Managers a summary of overdue items, items due in the next 30 days (configurable per item), and NSP evaluations due in the next 60 days. Operators can trigger the digest manually from Settings, or rely on the scheduled cron run that fires every Monday morning.
