FAA Part 135 compliance, read straight from your manuals
Navlyt's AI maps your GOM, FOM, and training manuals to 14 CFR Part 135 requirements, flags the gaps an inspector would find, and tracks each one to closure.
FAA Part 135 governs commuter and on-demand operations, and its requirements are spread across crew qualifications, flight operations, aircraft and equipment, training, and recordkeeping. Keeping a set of manuals demonstrably aligned to Part 135 — and proving it during a certificate-holder audit — is slow, manual work.
Navlyt reads your operations manuals and maps each procedure to the specific Part 135 requirement it satisfies. Where a requirement isn't addressed, it raises a gap with a verbatim citation from your document and a confidence score, so your compliance team reviews evidence instead of re-reading the whole manual.
Recurrent testing procedure does not name the knowledge areas §135.293(a) requires
Finding NV-0142Your manual says
“Pilots complete recurrent ground training every 12 calendar months, documented on Form OPS-12 and retained in the pilot’s training file.”
General Operations Manual · §4.2.1 · Rev C, p. 87
The regulation requires
“No certificate holder may use a pilot… unless, since the beginning of the 12th calendar month before that service, that pilot has passed a written or oral test, given by the Administrator or an authorized check pilot, on that pilot’s knowledge in the following areas—”
14 CFR §135.293(a) · Initial and recurrent pilot testing requirements
Gap: the manual covers training but not the required knowledge test, and does not enumerate the subject areas §135.293(a) lists.
Map manuals to Part 135 requirements
Upload your General Operations Manual, Flight Operations Manual, or training manual. Navlyt extracts the procedures and maps them to the Part 135 requirements corpus, so you can see coverage instead of guessing.
- AI extraction of procedures and control points
- Mapping to specific 14 CFR Part 135 requirements
- Coverage percentage per document
Find the gaps before the inspector does
Navlyt flags missing, outdated, or misaligned procedures as gaps — each with the exact clause it relates to and a verbatim quote from your manual. It abstains (marks 'review') when confidence is low rather than guessing.
- Gap, match, and review findings with confidence scores
- Verbatim source citations — no fabricated quotes
- Severity flags for critical items
Track corrective actions to closure
Accept a gap and it becomes a corrective action with an owner, a plan, and a target date. Coverage updates as you resolve items, so your readiness reflects real progress.
- Accepted gaps become tracked corrective actions (CAPA)
- Target dates and overdue flags
- Coverage recomputes as gaps are resolved
The clauses this page is talking about
Part 135 compliance is not one obligation but hundreds of specific ones. A sample of the requirement families in Navlyt's corpus, and what the mapping does for each:
- §135.21 / §135.23 — manual requirements and contents: coverage view shows which required subjects your GOM actually addresses
- §135.63 — recordkeeping: findings flag record types your procedures never mention
- §135.243 / §135.247 — PIC qualifications and recent experience: procedures cross-checked against the qualification floors
- §135.267 — flight time and rest: duty/rest procedures mapped and gaps cited
- §135.293 / §135.297 / §135.299 — testing, IPC, line checks: the check family inspectors verify first
- §135.179 — inoperative equipment / MEL usage procedures
- Part 91 cross-references (e.g., §91.413 transponder tests) where Part 135 operations depend on them
The objections, answered straight
Compliance buyers ask the same three questions, and they deserve direct answers. Can the AI hallucinate a finding? Every citation is verified verbatim against your document before display — an unverifiable quote is withheld, not shown. Who signs off? A qualified person on your team; findings are proposals until accepted, and attribution is server-owned. What happens to our existing GOM? Nothing — Navlyt reads your documents; it never edits them, and they remain exportable and yours.
Stay audit-ready
Your compliance workspace shows coverage, open gaps, and the evidence behind every finding — so preparing for a Part 135 audit is a review, not a fire drill.

Frequently asked questions
Does Navlyt cover all of FAA Part 135?
Navlyt maps your manuals to a Part 135 requirements corpus covering crew, flight operations, aircraft and equipment, training, and recordkeeping. It shows coverage per document so you can see exactly which requirements your manuals address and which have gaps.
Is the AI making compliance decisions on its own?
No. Navlyt is human-in-the-loop. Every finding is proposed with a confidence score and a verbatim citation from your manual, and a reviewer accepts, resolves, or dismisses each one. Nothing is auto-applied to your compliance record.
What documents can I analyze?
Operations manuals such as your GOM and FOM, training manuals, and similar PDF/DOC/TXT documents. Navlyt extracts the text, maps procedures to requirements, and reports gaps.
