For air tours

Built for a busy ramp, not a desk.

Continuous tour flying at a festival, a ranch or a downtown helipad has a rhythm. The software has to keep up with it.

How a tour day runs in StratoSMS

  1. 01

    Open the operation

    Date, location, aircraft and pilot. One record holds the whole day.

  2. 02

    Pilot completes the risk assessment

    One assessment covers a continuous tour block while conditions stay materially unchanged.

  3. 03

    Ground staff build the next group

    Names, weights, contacts, waivers and seats — on a phone, without the pilot's device.

  4. 04

    Seats get assigned

    Aircraft-specific layouts with running weight totals and a configurable alert threshold.

  5. 05

    Flights get flown

    Each flight group is recorded against the operation.

  6. 06

    Anyone can report a concern

    From the operation, the report already knows the aircraft, pilot, time, location and manifest.

  7. 07

    Conditions change materially

    A new risk assessment is required before the next block.

  8. 08

    Pilot closes out

    The manifest cannot become final until the pilot reviews and approves it. Then it locks.

Details that matter on the ramp

The pilot is not the clerk

Manifests are prepared by whoever is free. Prepared By and Pilot in Command are recorded separately.

Closed records stay closed

After pilot approval the record locks. A later correction becomes an amendment showing old value, new value, who and why.

Weights are visible, not assumed

Passenger and group weight totals are shown as you load. We do not present this as a certified weight and balance calculation.
