What's new at Alis

What is new in the Alis platform, from the most recent to the oldest. Current users get a notice about major updates inside Alis.

Draft flights no longer add to aircraft hours

November 10, 2026 · Aircraft, Air taxi, Flight schools

A flight that arrives through WhatsApp or ADS-B detection enters Alis as a draft. It now adds to the hours, cycles and landings of the aircraft, the engine and maintenance tracking only after someone reviews and logs the flight. Before, the draft's flight time already counted toward due dates.

Topics for work order and quote items

November 10, 2026 · Maintenance shops

Each shop builds its own list of topics (Engine, Electrical, Bodywork, Paint and whatever else it uses) and classifies work order and quote items by topic, routine or non-routine. Existing items were classified from the type they already had.

The work order PDF shows each item's topic, and the report adds up by month, topic, nature and cost center. Also in the app.

See the maintenance shops page

Third-party maintenance tracking opens other shops' work orders

November 10, 2026 · Management companies

Whoever does an aircraft's maintenance tracking can now open the work orders other shops logged on it, with the items, parts and signatures. Two shops serving the same aircraft still cannot see each other. The work order label prints with the name and brand of the shop that did the work.

Student hours compared to the ANAC minimum

November 9, 2026 · Flight schools

On the student record and in My course, bars show the hours already flown for each course requirement. Without a custom setup, the ANAC minimum for the course's license applies, under RBAC 61 and IS 141-007D. The school can adjust the requirements in the course settings. On the web and, since November 10, in the app.

See the flight schools page

Shop home shows what is waiting on someone

November 7, 2026 · Maintenance shops

The shop's home screen now lists stalled work orders by reason, in this order of priority: aircraft on ground (AOG), overdue deadline, pending signature, waiting on the customer and waiting on a part. Work orders with no activity for more than 60 days are shown separately, and upcoming due items for the aircraft the shop serves are grouped by aircraft. Amounts are visible only to managers and finance.

Kanban board for work orders

November 7, 2026 · Maintenance shops

Work orders can be viewed in columns, with stages defined by the shop and tied to the official work order status. Cards can be dragged on a computer, tablet or phone. The rules still apply: a regulated work order is closed only with the work done and the inspector's return to service approval.

Cost centers and bases at the shop

November 7, 2026 · Maintenance shops

The shop can split aircraft, quotes, work orders, receivables and expenses by cost center or base. The center chosen on the aircraft carries over to the quote, the work order and finance, and the financial reports filter by center. Using it is optional.

Control maps imported through the records archive

November 6, 2026

The component and inspection control map and the airworthiness directive status map delivered by the shop can now be brought in through the records archive. Alis reads the document and builds a proposal; after review, it creates the components with their limits, the engine and the directives in the aircraft's maintenance tracking. It is mainly for a newly arrived aircraft with empty tracking.

A multi-page PDF becomes one archive page per sheet, and CSV spreadsheets are accepted too.

Tools and parts checked out by QR code

November 6, 2026 · Maintenance shops

The shop prints QR labels for tools and stock items, on A4 sheets or a thermal printer. Scanning with a phone checks a tool out or back in and issues or returns a part, already linked to the work order. The work order shows what was taken for it, and each item keeps its history by work order.

Signing several work order items at once

November 6, 2026 · Maintenance shops

Mechanics and inspectors select the finished items on a work order and sign them all with a single password. Each item gets its own signature, the same as signing it individually, and anything that cannot be signed is left out with the reason.

Redesigned maintenance tracking dashboard

November 6, 2026

The maintenance tracking dashboard sums up the fleet in a strip (overdue, due soon, to review, up to date and not tracked) and shows a queue of what to do now, with shortcuts to create the work order or schedule the downtime. Records that need fixing are kept apart, and aircraft are sorted by their worst item.

AI credits in Administration

November 3, 2026

Managers track the company's AI credit balance and buy additional packs in Administration, on the web and in the app.

Notifications and billing in each person's language

October 25, 2026

People who use Alis in English or Spanish now get email and WhatsApp notifications and payment screens in that language. The guided tours of the screens are also available in English and Spanish.

Cost report with reference hours and engine program

October 21, 2026 · Aircraft

For a month with no flight logged in Alis, the aircraft can be given reference hours, so the cost per hour is no longer distorted. The report also tracks the engine program: hours flown times the rate, against what was paid.

Initial, second initial and repeat intervals in maintenance tracking

October 20, 2026

A component's tracking item can start with an initial interval and switch to a repeat interval after the first compliance, including a second initial in between, as some manuals require. It is also possible to set a due date on a specific day, such as a license with a fixed date.

Logbook Part II chosen per aircraft

October 15, 2026 · Aircraft, Air taxi, Flight schools

Each aircraft chooses which engine parameters it records in the electronic logbook, such as start temperature, OAT, flight level, torque, Np, ITT, Ng and fuel flow, and can create its own fields. The values appear in the flight record and in the logbook PDF. An aircraft with no field chosen keeps the previous layout.

See the electronic logbook

VOR check in the logbook

October 15, 2026 · Aircraft, Air taxi, Flight schools

The VOR check under RBAC 91.171 is now a periodic aircraft check: a record with date, method, location, error and who did it, valid for 30 days. The flight record warns when there is IFR time without a valid check, and the logbook PDF prints the check that was valid on the date of the leg. On the web and in the app.

APU and air conditioning with their own hour meter

October 15, 2026

The APU and the air conditioning now have records and maintenance tracking by their own hour meter, separate from airframe and engine hours. On the web and in the app.

Three-engine aircraft

October 15, 2026

The aircraft record accepts three-engine aircraft, such as the Falcon 50, 900 and 7X, with full maintenance tracking of the third engine and one block per engine in the shop documents.

Shop invitation by link and access limited to aircraft

October 14, 2026 · Aircraft, Air taxi, Flight schools

On the aircraft record, the owner generates a link for the shop that maintains it. The shop opens the link, creates an account and logs the work orders for that aircraft, and the owner follows those work orders on their own work orders screen.

It is also possible to invite a person with access to only some of the company's aircraft.

Rest and night recency in crew scheduling

October 12, 2026 · Air taxi

The crew roster and scheduling block now take into account the minimum rest under Brazilian Law 13,475 and each crew member's night recency by aircraft model. Night takeoffs and landings are filled in from sunset and sunrise times at the aerodromes, and can be corrected by hand.

See the air taxi page

TLB, downtime and work order finance for third-party maintenance tracking

October 8, 2026 · Management companies

Management companies that handle maintenance tracking for customers' aircraft now have the TLB for the aircraft they serve, downtime planning with the maintenance forecast and the work order financial closing.

See the management companies page

Fuel account per co-owner

October 6, 2026 · Aircraft

Each fueling records who paid. Alis matches that with each flight's consumption, measured or estimated from the hours and the aircraft's fuel burn, and shows how much each owner fueled and used, with a balance in reais and a PDF for settling up between co-owners. On the web and in the app.

See the aircraft page

Alis assistant on the web and in the app

October 6, 2026

An assistant inside Alis answers questions about using the system and guides users through the screens, based on the modules the company uses. Bugs and feature requests still go through the support page.

Paper logbook, pilot logbook and maintenance logbooks by photo

October 1, 2026 · Aircraft, Air taxi, Flight schools

Pages from the paper aircraft logbook, the pilot logbook (CIV) and the maintenance logbooks go into the records archive by photo or PDF, on the web or through WhatsApp. Alis reads the page and builds a proposal; after review, the flights, the crew member's experience and the maintenance entries go into the system. Duplicate flights are skipped.

See the electronic logbook

Expenses from a receipt photo on WhatsApp

September 25, 2026 · Aircraft, Air taxi

Sending a photo or PDF of a receipt to the Alis WhatsApp logs the expense as pending, with aircraft, supplier, amount and category, and returns a card to review, edit or cancel. The manager reviews it before paying.

RIODSO ready for SIGRAC

September 15, 2026 · Air taxi

Air taxi operators generate the period's RIODSO from the logbook, crew, fleet, staff and SMS data, as a PDF for review and as the three-tab spreadsheet to upload to SIGRAC. The screen lists missing items first, such as a crew member without a CANAC or a flight without times.
