Why Paperless141

As one of the key industry first systems for managing the operations of Flight Schools and clubs, Paperless141 sets itself apart from all others in many ways. We are not just a web site based application, we do not just show database information and allow data entry. Paperless141 is truly a full front to back, end-to-end system solution incorporating capabilities and functions far beyond what any website can offer.

The process of obtaining Part 141 Certification for a school can be a daunting task. Paperless141 has been in the business of helping schools obtain Part 141 Certification and authoring custom written Training Course Outline (TCO) submission packages for our customers since 2004. We have guided over 100 schools through their successful Part 141 Certification process. We have the experience and knowledge to help your school attain Part 141 Certification with very minimal effort on your school’s part and at no cost to your school. This is a service we provide to our customers as part of our customer support suite.

The full Paperless141 system solution includes optional physical facilities hardware integrated within the system for various functions such as facility access by integrating automatic controls of the door locks of the school/office doors. This includes full logging and reporting of all those granted and denied accesses directly within the system itself.

For those schools or clubs that desire even more autonomous operations the Paperless141 system solution incorporates optional custom Aircraft Key lockers for controlling the distribution and management of aircraft keys.

For the convenience of Pilots and Students the Paperless141 system supports the acceptance of all modern forms of payments, such as Apple Pay, Google Wallet, many forms of NFC cards, Chip Cards and of course standard magnetic swipe cards for credit and debit processing.

Many Paperless141 customers have needs for securely handing cash transactions from their students and pilots. For these situations the Paperless141 system integrates industry standard cash drawers for the processing of cash payments for aircraft rentals, instructional payments and of course for the Paperless141 built-in point of sale applications for pilot supplies and other store inventories.

The shear diversity of documentation, logging and authentications required by flight schools requires a multitude of authorizations and certification levels. The paperless141 system is not limited to merely using “names/passwords” as signatures, we also offer for those customers that can find it beneficial, the incorporation of digital signatures for high-quality biometric and forensic capture of the same integrity level as the banking industry.
