No but surely US schools will be auditet if they are compliant or not
Anyway this software was made to ease off administation and benefit students in a pilot school. I hope someone in here could be interested in the business oppertunity
An audit of a US flight school by FAA, the FAA will want to see the real aircraft logbooks, and will not accept the output from your software as legal proof that maintenance was completed.
Your software would SUPPLEMENT the logbooks with a nice report, but then the inspector will ask you to produce the actual aircraft logbook, Airworthiness certificate, and official FAA documents.
Our authorities will NOT care about what your software says. Sorry, they simply will not.
An audit by the IRS will be of the bookkeeping and billing practices and numbers and maybe, just maybe, any tracking your software provides will be allowed as evidence, but because it isn't a comprehensive tool for invoicing/billing, payments to leaseback owners, payments to maintenance contractors, payments to flight instructors, doesn't accept payments from students or pilots, and doesn't integrate with bank accounts, the utility of "double entry" into your system from a proper accounting software package, will add time and human error, not remove it.
There are all sorts of opportunities to make flight school software that does useful things, but an audit by authorities isn't one of them. It can only summarize information already captured in other systems better suited (or legally required anyway) in a report. The system can't replace the maintenance logs or the accounting system.
Most flight clubs and businesses don't need "help" for audits. They either already have the information required by law in the maintenance logs, or they're not compliant with the regulations. Same thing for money accounting. If they're paying taxes, they already have a paper or software solution in place for that compliance.
