Solutions · OnTheFly
One record for the flight line and the hangar.
OnTheFly links pilot entries to the aircraft maintenance due list. When a pilot logs a flight, a discrepancy or an MEL item, the due list updates and your technicians are notified by email or text.
OnTheFly is developed by OnTheFly Systems, Inc., a veteran-owned software company founded by pilots and maintenance technicians, and offered in partnership with Helicopters Inc.
How It Works
From the cockpit entry to the logbook.
Each entry a pilot makes in OTFOps feeds the maintenance side directly. Each task a mechanic signs off in OTFMx feeds back to aircraft status.
Step 01 / Pilot
Log on
The system tracks crew duty time and shows the pilot current aircraft status in a plain, unambiguous format.
Status before the first flight of the day
Step 02 / Pilot
Log the flight
The pilot records activity on the desktop web app or the mobile app.
The maintenance due list updates right away
Step 03 / Pilot
Report a discrepancy
The pilot logs a discrepancy or MEL item, and maintenance technicians are alerted by email or text.
MEL due list created automatically
Step 04 / Mechanic
Sign off the work
The mechanic completes the maintenance and records it in OTFMx.
Due list updated, with a logbook entry ready to print as a sticker
The Modules

Flight Operations
OTFOps
Flight, crew and safety data captured once, at the source, with validation that stops bad entries before they reach the record.

- smartSMS: rule-compliant safety management with a customizable FRAT process, hazard and incident reporting, and company alerting
- Personnel duty time, qualification, training and currency tracking
- Semi-automatic weight and balance and manifest calculator
- Mobile app designed for tablets and phones
- Advanced validation that virtually eliminates erroneous data entry
Maintenance Tracking
OTFMx
Manufacturer bulletins, manuals and airworthiness directives for your aircraft and engines are tracked continuously. New requirements create due-list items automatically.
- Fleet tracking and fleet overview
- Tool and equipment inventory with calibration tracking
- Spare parts and consumables inventory

- Helicopters Inc. parts sourcing and AOG support for select aircraft types
Fits Your Operation
Run both, or keep the system you have.
Used together, OTFOps and OTFMx keep your operations and maintenance teams informed of each other's past, current and planned work.
The modules are also sold separately. If you already run an operations or maintenance system that works for you, keep it and add only the OnTheFly module you need.

OnTheFly is sold as an annual subscription, priced below the cost of a stand-alone operations or maintenance product.
