FlyWise SMS
Pre-flight risk assessment that pilots actually use.
Traditional FRATs take 10 minutes, get filled out from memory, and disappear into a folder. FlyWise’s FRAT takes 2 minutes the first time and under 30 seconds every flight after. Automatic scoring. Clear go/no-go recommendation. Every decision tracked.
Most FRATs fail for the same reason: they’re slow.
When a form takes 10 minutes to fill out before every flight, pilots either skip it or fill it from memory. Neither is useful.
Three steps. Two minutes. Every flight.
Load a Quick Profile
Your manager creates profiles like “Perfect Day,” “Mountain Tour,” or “Night IFR.” Pilot picks one from a dropdown — every answer pre-fills instantly.
Adjust What’s Different
Change only the answers that have changed (weather, fatigue, aircraft). Or skip this entirely if it’s the same as last time — hit Recall Previous and go.
Get Your Score & Decide
Score calculates instantly. Risk level appears. Pilot chooses: Proceed, Reconsider, or Cancel. Every decision is logged with full context.
Quick Profiles: pre-fill your entire FRAT in one click.
Managers create saved answer sets for common scenarios. Pilots pick the profile that matches the flight — every answer fills in automatically.
- Set up unlimited profiles per company
- Examples: “Perfect Day,” “Mountain Tour,” “Night IFR,” “New Pilot”
- Pilots see the dropdown on every assessment
- Modify any answer after loading — the profile is a starting point, not a lock-in
Recall Previous: perfect for operators who fly the same routes.
If today’s flight is similar to your last one, one click fills in everything. Change what’s different. Done.
- Pilot clicks Recall Previous — last submission’s answers load
- Adjust only what’s changed (weather, fatigue, aircraft)
- Typical time savings: 90 seconds vs. filling from scratch
- Encourages daily use because the friction is gone
Automatic scoring with a clear go/no-go recommendation.
Every answer option carries a point value. When the pilot submits, the score calculates instantly and maps to a risk level you define.
- You set the risk thresholds (LOW 0–10, MODERATE 11–20, HIGH 21+, or your own scale)
- Score displays the moment answers are complete
- Recommendation text tells the pilot what to do next
- High-risk “Proceed” choices trigger a confirmation warning
- Every decision is logged — Proceed, Reconsider, or Cancel — with optional notes

Where FRAT fits in the FAA framework
Flight Risk Assessment Tools are a widely-recognized way to satisfy the Safety Risk Management requirements of 14 CFR Part 5. FlyWise’s FRAT is one piece of a complete SMS — alongside Hazard Reporting, Safety Assurance, and Safety Promotion.
