Smarter Safety for Ultralight Flight Operations


Situational Awareness, Informed Decision-Making, and Safer Flying—Supporting Your Team’s Freedom to Fly Safely.


Operating ultralight aircraft at scale—whether for training, discovery flights, or adventure experiences—means safety can't rely on instinct alone. Even under Part 103, where formal compliance requirements are minimal, your company takes on the real responsibility of managing operational risk across pilots, aircraft, and passengers. RISE SMS gives you the tools to run a safer, more efficient ultralight program—without overcomplicating your team’s workflow.


Lightweight Tools Built for Ultralight Ops


Whether you're managing powered paragliders, trikes, fixed-wing ultralights, drones, or eVTOLs, the range of aircraft and mission types can make it tough to maintain consistent safety practices. RISE SMS simplifies that process—supporting reliable safety habits without adding unnecessary steps. Our platform helps your instructors and pilots:

  • Perform pre-flight risk assessments tailored to your operation

  • Log near-misses, incidents, or environmental concerns

  • Track risk trends over time—across aircraft, pilots, or types of missions

  • Share safety promotions or procedural updates directly from leadership


Built for Pilots—Accepted by Pilots


Getting buy-in from your pilots shouldn’t be a battle. RISE SMS is designed to be fast, intuitive, and mobile-friendly. It fits naturally into the way ultralight pilots think and operate—giving them tools they’ll actually use, not ignore. That means more consistent safety data, fewer oversights, and better conversations across your team.


Support Smarter Instruction and Passenger Flights


Whether you're training new pilots or taking passengers up for the first time, safety decisions need to be clear, fast, and well-communicated. With RISE SMS, you can:

  • Give instructors a simple way to log and review risk factors before each flight

  • Catch trends in pilot-reported issues—like recurring turbulence areas or engine quirks

  • Make it easy for your team to report and reflect on safety concerns

  • Identify which risks are showing up most often and adjust training or maintenance accordingly


Keep It Simple. Keep It Safe.


You’ve built a business on the joy of flight. We’re here to support that mission—with tools that make your operation safer, smarter, and easier to manage.


Let’s talk about how RISE SMS can support your team.
