Training Program & Compliance SaaS for Aviation Maintenance Schools

Aviation maintenance schools plan multi-year training programs whose every hour must satisfy strict regulatory arithmetic: basic training must total at least 2,400 hours, with theoretical teaching representing 50 to 60% of the whole. Curricula follow rigid official structures — EASA Modules 1 to 17 for basic training, ATA chapters 00–85 for aircraft type training — yet each school needs the freedom to split modules into variants like 7A/7B, hide irrelevant ones and work under its own authority (EASA, UK CAA, CAAT or CAAS). Managed in paper binders and spreadsheets, this makes government audits slow and error-prone, and hour totals can drift out of compliance unnoticed.

We are building 147 Manager as a secure multi-tenant web application on a Nuxt/Nitro backend with Prisma ORM, hosted on its own dedicated DigitalOcean infrastructure. Each school operates as an isolated tenant with four roles — Accountable Manager, Training Manager, Instructor and Office Staff — and instructors carry compact two-letter abbreviations for dense grid displays. A master template editor manages the full curriculum as a three-level drag-and-drop tree (module, submodule, sub-submodule), and a program creation wizard assembles basic or type training programs from it. The Hour Manager, an Excel-style grid built on TanStack Table / AG Grid with virtual scrolling and frozen columns, lets Training Managers allocate theoretical, practical and OJT hours while a floating validation panel checks the 2,400-hour minimum and the 50–60% theoretical ratio in real time. A state machine (Draft, Submitted, Approved, Locked) guarantees that approved curricula cannot change without formal regulatory authorization, and Puppeteer / React-PDF generate pixel-perfect compliance documents alongside native Excel exports matching authority audit templates. Digital instructor guides replace paper binders: learning outcomes and knowledge levels are pre-filled from the syllabus, and instructors sign off each individual key point, linking their classroom materials to 16 standard EASA instructional tools. Security combines Auth.js row-level multi-tenancy, two-factor authentication and per-organization IP whitelisting, behind a Tailwind CSS and Shadcn UI interface. The roadmap adds a visual scheduling calendar with instructor conflict detection and mobile apps for instructors — Android first, with offline logging.
