What it does

One system for the program, the people, and the proof

Each part produces a record an inspector or auditor asks for, all from the same live program. Pick a part to see it.

14 CFR 145.163 · AC 145-10

A program ready to submit for FAA approval

Start from 38 standard items, edit them to match your station, and generate the Training Program Manual to send to your responsible Flight Standards office.

  • Course definitions, needs assessments, and an instructor register
  • Revisions tracked from draft to approval letter
  • Records cite the approved revision in force

Records only a person can sign

Training logged in True North becomes a record only when an authorized approver signs it in the system. The form lands in the employee's binder and every change goes to a log the application never edits.

  • Statement of Qualification, Certificate of Training, OJT Record, and roster PDFs
  • Six binder tabs and a Training Record Summary on demand
  • Imported history names who entered it and carries no signature

Training people finish, in the hangar or online

27 lessons ship ready to use, and the True North Training Library adds 141 more courses, about 85 hours in 10 domains, that a station adds to its program in one click.

  • Post tests from a question bank; passing sends the item for sign off
  • Classroom sessions with waitlist, attendance, and a signed roster
  • Badges and XP for recognition, never in place of a qualification

Know who is current before you assign the work

The qualification matrix shows who is current for each item and aircraft type. Overdue items, open OJT, and initial items past their window all count as not current.

  • Certificates, IA activity, and company authorizations with expirations
  • Matrix and credentials export to CSV
  • Due dates in Outlook, Google, or Apple Calendar

Close the loop from hazard to training to review

Anyone can report a hazard, anonymously if they choose. Rate it, assign the action, open a corrective action request, link the training, and pull it all into the management review.

  • Hazard log with severity, likelihood, and class
  • Read and sign documents with a count of who has signed
  • Management review pack for AS9110 9.3

Compliance crosswalk

Mapped to the clauses you are audited against

True North keeps the records, controls, and documents; your station stays responsible for its program. The software is not FAA approved and is not AS9110 certified: the FAA approves a repair station's training program, and a registrar certifies your organization. Select a clause to see what covers it.

14 CFR 145.163Training program

An approved program with initial and recurrent training, revisions submitted to the responsible Flight Standards office, and records kept at least two years.

AC 145-10Program elements

Indoctrination, human factors, needs assessments, course definitions, qualified instructors, effectiveness measures, and the interface with work assignment.

14 CFR 145.161, 145.12Records and signatures

Records issued through a named approver, electronic signatures only for people who acted, and a log the application never edits or deletes.

AS9110 7.2, 7.3Competence and awareness

Items by position, evaluations, OJT, and documents people read and sign when a procedure changes.

AS9110 7.5Documented information

Binder PDFs, controlled documents with revision history, and a SHA-256 digest on every record change.

AS9110 9.3, 10.2Review and corrective action

Corrective action requests from audits and safety reports, and a management review pack built from live data.

Frequently asked questions

Do we own our data?

Yes. Self host it on your own server or in your own Azure or AWS account and every record stays in storage you control. If we host it for you, it runs as a dedicated instance for your organization, never a database shared with another shop, and you can download any binder or a verified backup archive at any time.

Does True North give us an FAA approved program?

No software can. The FAA approves your repair station's training program under 14 CFR 145.163. True North ships a standard program of 38 items that you edit to match how you train, then generates the Training Program Manual in the structure AC 145-10 describes so you can submit it. When the approval letter arrives you record it, and every record from then on cites the approved revision.

We are not a Part 145 repair station. Does it still fit?

Yes. Choose the program type: Part 135 operator maintenance (14 CFR 135.433), Part 91 flight department (IS-BAO), a shop without an air agency certificate, or an AS9100 or AS9110 organization. The items, references, manual wording, and the approval of a revision change to match.

Can we bring our existing training history?

Yes. Import a CSV with employee ID, item, and completion date (plus optional instructor, hours, method, score, and next due date). Rows are checked and previewed before anything is written. Imported records name who entered them and print names without electronic signatures, because only people who acted in the system sign.

Does it replace our LMS?

It can. 27 lessons ship ready to use, the Training Library adds 141 courses, you can build your own from slides, PDF decks, and video, and vendor courses load as SCORM 1.2 or 2004 packages. Passing a lesson sends the linked item to a person for sign-off, so a quiz never writes a training record by itself.

Can we use our own forms?

Yes. True North prints its own record forms and 46 forms in five kits with your name and logo. If you would rather keep your paperwork, the quality manager uploads your PDF under Forms, Your own forms, places its fields, and True North prints and fills your form instead. Nothing is locked, so every shop can run on its own forms.

How customizable is it?

It is white label. Set the product name, colors, and logo to match your shop, and every record form prints your shop name and logo. Each person gets one of eleven roles, from system administrator to new hire. With more than one shop, each supervisor sees the people and records of their own shop, and management and quality see every shop.

How long is setup?

About as long as it takes to install it or have us host it, add your shops, paste in your roster, and check the 38 standard items against how you train. Records print on True North forms from day one, so your own forms can come later.
