Systems and methods for conducting fixed-base operator (fbo) aviation services using a portable electronic device

A method for conducting fixed-base operator aviation services, comprising the steps of:

• providing a portable electronic device having a graphical user interface;
• establishing aircraft identity via the graphical user interface, wherein the aircraft identity is verified using GPS coordinates from the portable electronic device;
• defining an aviation service having a standard operating procedure to be carried out via the graphical user interface;
• prompting collection of objective or subjective data corresponding to the standard operating procedure;
• and
• validating compliance with the standard operating procedure.

A system for conducting fixed-base operator aviation services, comprising:

• a portable electronic device comprising a processor and memory;
• a graphical user interface module executable by the processor;
• an authentication module configured to establish user identity;
• a GPS module configured to obtain location coordinates;
• a validation module configured to verify compliance with standard operating procedures;
• and
• wherein the system establishes aircraft identity using the GPS coordinates and validates aviation service completion.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• display a graphical user interface on a portable electronic device;
• receive user authentication credentials;
• obtain GPS coordinates from the portable electronic device;
• establish aircraft identity using the GPS coordinates;
• present a standard operating procedure for an aviation service;
• collect data confirming completion of the standard operating procedure;
• and
• generate a compliance validation record.

A method for aviation service documentation, comprising the steps of:

• receiving, at a portable electronic device, selection of an aircraft via a graphical user interface;
• automatically determining location of the portable electronic device using GPS;
• verifying the aircraft identity matches the GPS location;
• displaying a checklist of required service items;
• recording completion status for each service item;
• and
• generating a timestamped service record.
