Compliance hub
How SkyFuns keeps every shared flight within the regulations.
Before a listing appears on SkyFuns, we document that it complies with Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 on Air Operations, Part-NCO requirements, and ANAC guidance for cost-shared flights. Licences, insurance, maintenance, and passenger briefings are all cross-checked and timestamped.
Oversight
Three layers of compliance coverage
Every SkyFuns flight is tracked through operational, crew, and aircraft lenses. Our desk signs off only when each layer is complete.
Crew
- Licence, ratings, and medical currency validated against ANAC databases.
- Recency checks for night, IFR, or special operations with reminders for refreshers.
- Digital signatures captured for each pre-flight declaration.
Aircraft
- ARC, maintenance release, and tech log entries uploaded quarterly.
- Equipment list validated against routing (life rafts, ELT, survival gear).
- Insurance documentation tracked with auto-renew follow-ups.
Operations
- Flight profile matched against Part-NCO.OPS requirements for the mission.
- Passenger briefing proof, fuel planning, and weight & balance stored for five years.
- GDPR-compliant handling of personal data with access logging.
Workflow
From account creation to scheduled flight
Here's how our compliance desk validates each step before a passenger ever boards.
01
Onboarding dossier
Pilots submit licences, medicals, insurance, and maintenance evidence. We verify with ANAC databases and insurer confirmations.
02
Operational review
Flight types, aircraft equipment, and pilot recency are checked against Part-NCO. Overwater and IFR routes trigger additional equipment checks.
03
Pre-flight sign-off
Within 24 hours of departure, we confirm weather briefing, passenger safety card, and fuel/weight planning are uploaded.
04
Audit log & retention
All approvals and communications are stored for five years, ready for inspection by regulators or insurers.
Monitoring
What happens after take-off
Compliance does not stop once the flight locks its doors. We monitor each stage and capture evidence for the audit trail.
-
T-24hConfirmation window
PIC uploads briefing artefacts and confirms passenger list. Automated checks flag missing regulatory docs.
-
T-03hFinal clearance
Weather, NOTAM, and go/no-go decision recorded with timestamp; alternates revalidated if conditions degrade.
-
FlightLive monitoring
Ops receives departure / arrival messages and monitors deviations. Incidents open an immediate occurrence report.
-
+24hPost-flight audit
Upload fuel receipts, tech log entries, and feedback survey. Non-conformities trigger corrective action plans.

FAQs
Common regulatory questions
