The Waypoint platform
An aviation training management system (TMS) is the single platform an operator uses to plan events, record assessments, manage pilot training records and analyse performance. Waypoint is a modern aviation TMS that replaces spreadsheets and rigid legacy tools with iPad apps for the cockpit and sim, a desktop dashboard for training managers, and analytics that make every programme better.

Platform for scheduling, records, reporting and analytics
iPad + web
Offline capture on iPad, management on the desktop
Multi-tenant
White-label per operator with per-tenant frameworks
An aviation training management system is software that manages the complete lifecycle of pilot training and checking: scheduling events, capturing assessments, maintaining tamper-evident training records, managing licences and currency, and analysing competency performance across the fleet. It replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, shared drives and paper forms that many operators still rely on, and gives training managers, instructors, examiners and pilots one source of truth.
Plan LPC, OPC, type-rating, line-check and recurrent events, assign crew and simulators, and brief pilots ahead of time.
Competency grading and structured narratives captured on an offline-first iPad in the cockpit or simulator.
Tamper-evident, audit-trailed records of every assessment, signature and state change for each pilot.
Branded, regulator-ready report exports with narratives, grades and a full audit trail. More on report writing →
Competency heatmaps, instructor standardisation and currency forecasting for evidence-based decisions.
Regulator frameworks, per-operator overlays, GDPR tooling and published compliance documentation.
Any operator that has to demonstrate structured, competency-based training to a regulator benefits from a TMS: airlines, business and private jet operators, helicopter operators, and ATOs. The device split matters — pilots and instructors work overwhelmingly on iPad in the cockpit and simulator, while training managers work mostly on the desktop. Waypoint is built for both surfaces, so no one is forced onto the wrong device.
| Authority | Region | Key frameworks Waypoint models |
|---|---|---|
| EASA | European Union | Part-FCL and Part-ORO competency-based training, LPC/OPC, type rating, recurrent training |
| UK CAA | United Kingdom | Retained EASA (Part-FCL / Part-ORO) rules, LPC/OPC, line checks |
| ICAO | Worldwide baseline | Doc 9995 (Evidence-Based Training), Doc 9868 (PANS-TRG), the nine core competencies |
| GCC authorities (GCAA, GACA, QCAA, and others) | Middle East | ICAO-aligned CBTA/EBT frameworks with operator-specific overlays |
Waypoint is built in the United Kingdom for EASA, UK CAA and ICAO operators, and its ICAO-aligned frameworks suit GCC authorities across the Middle East, including the UAE GCAA, Saudi GACA and Qatar QCAA. Language, regulator profiles and branding are configured per tenant, so an operator in London, Frankfurt or Dubai each gets a system that matches its own regulatory context.
Frequently asked questions
An aviation training management system (TMS) is software that manages the full lifecycle of pilot training: scheduling events, capturing competency assessments, maintaining tamper-evident training records, tracking currency, and analysing performance across the fleet. Waypoint is a modern aviation TMS for EASA, UK CAA, ICAO and GCC operators.
Generic LMS platforms handle courses and e-learning but do not model aviation competency frameworks, offline cockpit capture, tamper-evident report exports or fleet-wide competency analytics. Waypoint is purpose-built for aviation training and checking, with EASA, UK CAA and ICAO frameworks out of the box.
Yes. Pilots and instructors capture assessments on an offline-first iPad app in the cockpit and simulator, while training managers plan events, oversee reports and view analytics on a desktop web dashboard.
Yes. Waypoint's ICAO-aligned competency frameworks suit GCC authorities such as the UAE GCAA, Saudi GACA and Qatar QCAA, and regulator profiles, branding and frameworks are configured per operator.
