How Talon RMS Works

Airworthiness

Aircraft status your dispatchers can see

Because RMS works with ETA's Operations and Dispatch modules, aircraft status and recurring inspections are visible where flights are dispatched.

Squawks, deferred, and closed discrepancies tracked per aircraft, simulator, or vehicle
Automatic alerts for new discrepancies
Inspections, ADs, and recurring maintenance tasks tracked automatically

Training aircraft in a maintenance hangar

Status shared with ETA dispatch

Work orders

Work orders that keep the whole story

Each work order holds unlimited work items, parts, and corrective actions, organized with tabs you define, such as Propulsion. Technicians clock in and out on the work order.

Assign technicians and see their workload
Canned corrective actions for common work
Installed and removed parts tracked automatically
Digital sign-off for traceability

Works With the Rest of Talon

Talon ETA

Aircraft status and recurring inspections show up in ETA Operations and Dispatch. RMS also runs on its own.

TalonSMART

Safety findings can be followed up through maintenance.

Reports and API

Getting Started With Talon RMS

Our support team has run Talon themselves, as managers, instructors, and students.

1
A demo for your operation
Tell us what you want to solve and we'll tailor the demonstration. It typically runs about 1.5 hours per system, plus time for questions.
2
Setup and configuration
We help you load your fleet, inspections, parts, and technicians, and consult with you on configuring RMS to the way your maintenance shop runs.
3
Go-live
Most schools go live in 2 to 3 weeks, with training on-site and remote, and on-site support during go-live.

Common Questions

Can RMS track vehicles?

Yes. Along with aircraft and simulators, RMS can track maintenance on vehicles. Some customers even track their golf carts. Only aircraft count toward pricing.

Is there a digital signature or sign-off process?

Yes, our digital signature and sign-off process provides secure, tamper-proof verification of maintenance actions, meeting FAA requirements for traceability and accountability. It streamlines approvals, reduces paperwork errors, and supports audit readiness with a clear record of who performed or authorized each task.

Who owns our data?

You do. Your data belongs to you, the customer.

Are updates included in the license?

Yes, regular updates and feature enhancements are included at no extra cost. We continually take feedback from our users and improve the system; every feature in the system was requested by one of our users.

How would my team prepare for a demonstration?

A demonstration typically runs about 1.5 hours per system, with roughly 30 minutes for questions. The more you tell us about what your school wants to solve, the better we can tailor a brief, productive demonstration.
