Manage Open Item Lists in real time. Status workflows, evidence attachments, guest access, and Box integration — all in one shared platform. No spreadsheets. No lost emails. One audit trail.
The Challenge
Open Item Lists drive lease inspections, but most teams still manage them in spreadsheets, shared drives, and email threads. Status gets lost. Evidence gets scattered. Guests can't see progress without a dozen CCs.
Multiple versions of the same OIL floating between lessor, lessee, and MRO. No single source of truth.
Photos, PDFs, and signed documents scattered across email, WhatsApp, and shared drives — never tied to the item they support.
No one knows what's open, in progress, proposed resolved, or closed without asking. Status changes don't notify stakeholders.
Lessees and MROs need accounts, VPNs, or Smartsheet bridges just to view or update their own findings.
Who changed the status? Who uploaded that evidence? When? Without lineage, findings are hard to defend at arbitration.
Exporting OILs for management or regulators means copy-pasting from spreadsheets into PowerPoint — every time.
Features
Built for lessors who need a single source of truth for Open Item Lists — with real-time collaboration, evidence management, and an audit trail that holds up.
Every OIL item gets a unique number, status, severity, and ATA chapter. Filter by status, severity, or assignee. Hosts see internal and shared items; guests see only what they're allowed to see. One board, correct visibility for everyone.
OIL items flow through open → in_progress → proposed_resolved → closed. Role-based transitions prevent guests from closing host items. Every status change is logged with who, when, and why.
Invite lessees, MROs, or observers with a single secure link. No sign-up, no Smartsheet bridge. Guests land on a clean portal showing the OIL items shared with them. They can comment, upload evidence, and update status — all within their permissions.
Upload photos and PDFs directly to any OIL item. Or link files from Box — browse folders, pick a file, and attach it without leaving Aviatus. Box preview opens in-place with a short-lived token. All evidence stays tied to the item it supports.
Upload a spreadsheet of findings and preview every row before committing. Export the full OIL to CSV anytime for regulators, insurers, or management. No lock-in.
Every OIL item has a threaded comment stream. @mention team members to notify them by email and push. Comments stay with the item forever — part of the audit trail.
Summarize long comment threads, draft replies, and get instant answers about your project. Avi Light reads the knowledge base and helps you move faster — without leaving the app.
Mid-term, pre-purchase, or redelivery — each inspection runs as a project with reusable templates. Pre-fill your standard form bundle in one click, then customize before creating.
Connect your existing Box account via OAuth, or plug in any S3-compatible storage. Documents never leave your infrastructure — Aviatus links to them without taking custody.
Manage your SPV sub-entities as Lessors and build a contact database of Lessees. Invite team members with role-based permissions: Admin, Manager, Inspector, or Viewer.
English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), and Japanese. Switch language in your profile — the entire app follows, including error messages and email notifications.
Organization-wide activity log in Settings → Org Activity. Per-project activity log accessible from the project header — every create, update, status change, and delete, timestamped and attributed to the user who made it.
Offline-first Flutter app for iOS and Android. Capture findings and photos on the hangar floor, sync when you reconnect. Same real-time collaboration as the web app.
How it works
Create a project, invite your team and guests, and start tracking findings immediately. No setup, no training required.
Pick an inspection type, set dates, and choose your templates. Aviatus auto-generates the OIL board ready for your first finding.
Send a secure 30-day link. Guests land on a clean portal showing only the OIL items shared with them. No account creation, no IT overhead.
Hosts and guests update statuses, upload evidence, and comment in real time. Every action is timestamped and attributed. When the inspection ends, export the full OIL to CSV in one click.
Use Cases
At lease end, lessor and lessee track every finding on the same OIL board. Status workflows ensure nothing closes without approval. Full export for financial reconciliation.
Periodic airframe and engine checks during the lease. Reusable project templates mean every mid-term starts with the same structure — no setup time.
Evaluate aircraft before acquisition. Capture findings, invite MRO guests in seconds, track rectifications to closure. Full traceability before the purchase closes.
Lessors, lessees, MROs, and auditors all on the same record — with visibility controls that ensure everyone sees only what they should. No more forwarded email chains.
Field Ready
The Aviatus mobile app is offline-first. Capture findings and photos on the spot. Everything queues locally and syncs automatically when you reconnect.
