Flightdocs tracks the maintenance. FileFlo holds the proof.
This isn't FileFlo versus Flightdocs (now sold as Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops). Keep Flightdocs for the cloud-mobile maintenance tracking, the AD applicability engine under 14 CFR Part 39, and the best-in-class hangar-floor mobile app. FileFlo is a different layer, the compliance document evidence binder the FAA SAS / POI inspector pulls during surveillance: the §43.9, §91.417 and §135.63 records, classified per aircraft tail. Flightdocs tracks what's due. FileFlo holds the proof you did it.
Includes 30 days of FileFlo. Then $150 per aircraft per month for 1 to 15 aircraft, if you continue at day 30; nothing is charged if you do not.
One runs the hangar floor. One survives the audit.
Flightdocs is the engineering platform
It tracks airframe and engine status, drives the next-due list against the published maintenance program, runs the AD applicability engine under Part 39, and ships the native mobile app technicians use to log §43.9 entries against the aircraft tail. It is genuinely good at this. Keep using it.
FileFlo is the compliance evidence layer
It is the destination for the completed documents (the signed §43.9 entry, the §43.11 inspection record, the §91.417 retention file), classified per tail, retention-tracked, and produced as the one-click FAA-investigator-ready binder the SAS / POI inspector pulls.
Who wins for what.
The honest answer for most Part 135 charter operators: keep Flightdocs for the cloud-mobile maintenance tracking and AD engine, and add FileFlo for the compliance document evidence layer.

A one-time Setup, then per aircraft.
Aviation starts with the Audit-Ready Crew Records Setup; 16 or more aircraft, air medical and fractional operations are priced by written quote. Flightdocs prices per-aircraft, per-module: the math escalates with every aircraft and every module the operator adds.
Pricing range based on public Flightdocs / Veryon sales materials and operator reports. Contact Veryon for an exact per-aircraft quote.
The pricing comparison is not apples-to-apples. Flightdocs is a cloud-and-mobile aviation maintenance tracking + flight ops engineering platform; FileFlo is a compliance document evidence platform. The right operating model is Flightdocs for the cloud-mobile tracking + Flight Ops + AD engine, and FileFlo for the §91.417 / §43.9 audit binder.
Platform definition.
FileFlo is a compliance document intelligence platform that operates as a read-only evidence layer beside an aircraft maintenance tracking system such as Flightdocs (now sold as Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops). It does not track airframe and engine status, drive the next-due list, or run an Airworthiness Directive applicability engine. Those are engineering functions Flightdocs performs well. Instead, FileFlo receives the completed compliance documents an aviation operation generates (the 14 CFR §43.9 maintenance record entry, the §43.11 annual / 100-hour inspection record, the §43.7 return-to-service sign-off, the Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificate, the §91.417 owner/operator retention file, and the Part 135 §135.63 / §135.21 / §135.293 records), classifies each against its governing CFR section, tracks retention, and generates an inspector-format audit binder on demand for FAA Safety Assurance System (SAS) surveillance.
The distinction matters because Flightdocs is a maintenance tracking and flight operations system: it is optimized for engineering status, next-due scheduling, AD applicability, and the hangar-floor mobile capture workflow under 14 CFR §43.9. Flightdocs can tell you a component is approaching its life limit and that an AD applies to a serial-number range; what an operator must also produce, under 14 CFR §91.417 and Part 135 §135.63, is the document evidence: the signed entries, the retention file, the indexed binder the FAA inspector reads. FileFlo adds that compliance-evidence layer without disturbing the maintenance tracking platform beside it.
Why a tracking system isn't an evidence system.
Federal aviation recordkeeping rules do not ask whether maintenance is being tracked; they ask whether the required record exists, is signed, and can be produced on demand. Under 14 CFR §43.9, every person performing maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration must make a maintenance record entry stating the work performed, the date of completion, the name of the person performing the work, and (for Part 145 work) the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate of the person approving return to service under §43.7. Under 14 CFR §91.417, the owner/operator must retain those records: §91.417(a)(1) records until the work is repeated, superseded, or for one year, and §91.417(a)(2) records (total time in service, life-limited part status, time since overhaul, current inspection status under §91.409, AD compliance status under Part 39, and Form 337 alterations) on an effectively permanent basis. A maintenance tracking system can drive the next-due list flawlessly and still leave the operator exposed, because tracking has no concept of a signed, retained, retrievable document.
For Part 135 on-demand charter operators, the document scope widens. Under §135.293, each pilot must pass a competency check within the preceding 12 calendar months; under §135.297, an instrument proficiency check within the preceding 6 calendar months; and under §135.63, the certificate holder must retain crewmember, aircraft, and training records and produce them to the FAA Principal Operations Inspector during a surveillance event governed by FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 3. Maintenance Directives under 14 CFR Part 39 are mandatory, and §43.13(a) requires work to be performed using the methods, techniques, and practices in the current manufacturer's maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. Each of these produces a document an inspector pulls, not a tracking-screen state.
This is the gap FileFlo closes. Rather than ask an operator to abandon the maintenance tracking system their technicians already use, FileFlo receives the completed documents, maps each to the CFR section it satisfies, tracks retention against §91.417 and Part 135 windows, and assembles the SAS / POI surveillance binder in the format the agency expects. Flightdocs tracks what is due; FileFlo holds the proof the work was done. Civil-penalty exposure under 49 U.S.C. §46301 runs up to $75,000 per violation for an operator that is not a small business concern (14 CFR 13.301, violations on or after December 30, 2024), which is why the document binder, not the tracking screen, is what determines how a surveillance event ends.
Built by an operator, against the rules themselves.
Chad Griffith, Founder & CEO of FileFlo, built FileFlo's rule packs against the actual surveyor, inspector, and safety-investigator protocols, not against a generic "compliance" abstraction. Each regulator's taxonomy maps documents to the exact CFR section that demands them, which is why FileFlo can sit beside a maintenance tracking system like Flightdocs and still speak the language an FAA inspector uses. FileFlo's connectors are read-only by design: the platform reads what you already have and never becomes a place your team has to migrate into.
Quick answers.
Last reviewed June 4, 2026.
What is Flightdocs, and how does the 2024 Veryon acquisition affect buyers in 2026?
Flightdocs is the cloud-and-mobile aircraft maintenance tracking + flight operations platform originally built in Bonita Springs, Florida as a direct competitor to CAMP Systems for Part 91 corporate flight departments, Part 135 charter operators, and Part 145 repair stations. In 2024, ATP rebranded as Veryon and consolidated three previously independent product lines under the Veryon brand: Flightdocs (the cloud-mobile MRO + maintenance tracking + flight ops platform), Traxxall (the Montreal-built maintenance tracking platform for business jets and helicopters), and the legacy CAMP CMP / ChronicX maintenance program and chronic-fault tracking offerings ATP had acquired separately. As of 2026, "Flightdocs" is no longer a standalone product brand: it is now sold as Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops, with the same underlying Bonita Springs codebase, the same cloud-and-mobile architecture, and the same native iOS / Android mobile app that made the original Flightdocs product genuinely strong for hangar-floor 14 CFR §43.9 logging. Operators researching "Flightdocs" in 2026 will end up evaluating Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops, but the underlying product capabilities (cloud-mobile maintenance tracking, native iOS / Android app, Part 91 corporate flight department focus, and Part 135 charter operator dispatch + maintenance combined workflow) are the same Flightdocs DNA that has been in the market for over a decade. FileFlo does not attempt to replace the Flightdocs / Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops maintenance tracking platform. FileFlo is the compliance document evidence layer the FAA SAS / OPSS / PI inspector pulls during surveillance: the §43.9 / §43.11 / §91.417 document binder.
How much does Flightdocs cost vs FileFlo?
Flightdocs (now sold as Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops) prices on a per-aircraft, per-module subscription model with custom enterprise quotes. Veryon does not publish a rate card for the Flightdocs line, and we are not going to reconstruct one from hearsay: pricing varies by fleet size and provider; request a current quote. A 5-aircraft Part 135 charter operator on Tracking + Flight Ops with the mobile app and dispatch module typically pays $700-$1,200 per aircraft per month ($42,000-$72,000 per year for the 5-aircraft fleet). A 10-aircraft Part 91 corporate department on Tracking + ATP library typically pays $500-$900 per aircraft per month ($60,000-$108,000 per year). Aviation starts with the Audit-Ready Crew Records Setup; 16 or more aircraft, air medical and fractional operations are priced by written quote. The pricing comparison is NOT a substitution comparison. Flightdocs / Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops sells the cloud-and-mobile maintenance tracking + flight ops engineering platform; FileFlo sells the compliance document evidence layer the FAA inspector pulls. The right operating model is keep Flightdocs / Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops for the cloud-mobile engineering + flight ops AND add FileFlo for the §43.9 / §43.11 / §91.417 document binder. Verify Flightdocs pricing directly during the Veryon sales process at veryon.com.
Will FileFlo hold the 14 CFR §43.9 maintenance record entries Flightdocs currently tracks?
Yes, and for a Part 135 charter operator this is exactly where it matters most. 14 CFR §43.9 requires every person who performs maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration on an aircraft, airframe, engine, propeller, appliance, or component part to make an entry in the maintenance record containing: a description of the work performed, the date of completion, the name of the person performing the work, and (if maintenance is performed by a Part 145 repair station) the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the aircraft for return to service under §43.7. The Flightdocs mobile app, now Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops mobile app, is one of the best hangar-floor §43.9 logging surfaces in the market. Technicians snap photos, attach inspection sheets, and capture the §43.7 return-to-service signature in-line against the aircraft tail. That workflow is real and FileFlo does not attempt to replace it. But the FAA SAS auditor under FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6 does not pull screenshots of the Flightdocs system during a Part 91 surveillance event or a Part 135 POI surveillance event; the auditor pulls the §43.9 record-of-work documents themselves, organized by tail number, date range, and CFR section. FileFlo's AI classifies these documents on upload, distinguishing a §43.9 maintenance record entry from a §43.11 inspection entry from a §43.7 RTS sign-off from a Form 8130-3, and produces the FAA-investigator-ready binder. Flightdocs for the cloud-mobile in-progress logging; FileFlo for the completed-document evidence binder.
Does FileFlo replace the Flightdocs mobile app the maintenance technicians use on the hangar floor?
No. The Flightdocs / Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops mobile app is one of the genuinely strong pieces of engineering in the aviation maintenance tracking market, and FileFlo does not attempt to replace it. The Flightdocs-origin native iOS and Android app is what made Flightdocs a credible cloud-first alternative to CAMP Systems' desktop-legacy architecture in the first place. Maintenance technicians, line mechanics, and chief inspectors use the mobile app on the hangar floor to log §43.9 maintenance record entries directly against the aircraft tail, snap photos of work performed, attach inspection sheets, capture the §43.7 return-to-service signature in-line, and run offline-capable tablet workflows when working on remote tarmacs or at customer facilities. The mobile UX is particularly well-suited to Part 135 charter operators whose maintenance is performed at distributed locations and Part 91 corporate flight departments whose chief inspector is not desk-bound. FileFlo is not a hangar-floor mobile app for work-in-progress §43.9 logging. FileFlo is the destination for the completed compliance documents (the signed §43.9 entry, the Form 8130-3, the §43.13(a) ICA reference, the §91.417 owner/operator retention file), all AI-classified, retention-tracked, and produced as a one-click FAA-ready binder. The combined operating model is: Flightdocs mobile app for §43.9 in-progress logging on the hangar floor + FileFlo for the completed-document evidence binder the FAA inspector pulls during surveillance.
What about Part 135 charter operators running Flightdocs Tracking + Flight Ops for combined maintenance + dispatch?
Same pairing logic: Part 135 document scope is broader than Part 91. Part 135 charter operators on Flightdocs / Veryon Tracking + Flight Ops still need the §135.63 recordkeeping requirements binder (crewmember records, aircraft records, training records, flight time and duty records), the §135.21 manual currency file, the §135.293 pilot competency check records, the §135.297 instrument proficiency check records, and the §135.443 airworthiness check records, all of which are document evidence the FAA POI / OPSS auditor pulls during a Part 135 surveillance event under FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 3. Flightdocs' Flight Ops module holds some of the operational records (duty time, flight scheduling, dispatch records) but the compliance evidence binder layer for §135.63 crewmember records, §135.21 manual currency, and §135.293 competency check records is a different workflow. FileFlo holds the document evidence binder, AI-classified by crewmember, by aircraft tail, and by CFR section reference. Aviation starts with the Audit-Ready Crew Records Setup; 16 or more aircraft, air medical and fractional operations are priced by written quote.
Keep Flightdocs. Add the binder.
